Do you live with messy people (and the mental load to go with it)?


Reader

If you have a messy home you're exhausted trying to conquer, chances are it’s not just you who made it that way. I have heard from so many clients and friends that they could have an organized home if they lived alone!

We often say things like this and laugh it off, but deep inside we're conflicted, so I wanted to get to the heart of the matter. We did so in last week’s podcast episode. I sat down with Crystal Nerpel, author of “Loving Your Home,” and we got very real about home organization. If you don’t have time to listen to the episode, I've listed the key takeaways of our conversation below:

➤ Organizing isn’t about perfection Your home should reflect your family’s unique rhythm

➤ Flexible routines beat rigid rules EVERY time

➤ Compassion matters more than clean floors

As a reminder, your worth isn’t measured by how spotless your house is. It’s about creating a space where everyone feels loved, understood, and comfortable.

Quick actionable tip

This week, have a family meeting. Ask everyone: “What makes our home feel good to YOU?” Compare notes and see how you can honor each person's preferences.


Please know that if you're struggling with your space keeping track of it all, I get it. And I realized it's not always as simple as thinking about it differently. If you could use an understanding ear along with some guidance for how to change what doesn't work, I welcome you to schedule a free coaching consultation

Here’s to living in a space you love with people you love surround you.

Reader There is so much that affects our productivity, especially stress. It's why I studied to receive a stress management certification in 2020 (wild timing, huh?) We talked about ways to reduce stress response last week, but what if I told you there’s a nerve in your body that’s your ultimate stress-fighting ally? In my latest podcast episode #257 I’m breaking down everything you need to know about the Vagus Nerve, a hidden stress-regulation system that you can strengthen and stimulate to...

Reader As someone who's navigated overwhelm as an entrepreneur, caregiver, and mom, I've discovered that managing stress isn't about eliminating it completely—it's about building resilience and creating sustainable strategies. When we apply stress-reducing habits to our regular routine, they can make a world of difference. In episode 256 of the Positively Living Podcast, I share these simple (and fun) stress-reduction tips: 1️⃣ Get Moving: Exercise isn't about being an athlete; it's about...

Reader Despite the fact that the majority of productivity experts love talking about time management, I don’t. I think it’s a myth…a red herring if you will. The standard issue advice for being productive leads you in the wrong direction. "Manage your time so you can do more?" Nope. That’s a recipe for burnout. We need to stop focusing on the "do more" part. Instead, you want to do the right thing(s) at the right time the right way for YOU. That's true productivity. Ask yourself, what REALLY...
