#247: Unexpected Places Where Negative Energy Might Hide In Your Home Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

As a professional home organizer, one of my most favorite topics to talk about on the show is clutter… what it is, where it comes from, and why we have such a hard time getting rid of it.

For today's episode, I not only talk about the psychical clutter that tends to pile up in our homes, but I give you very specific ideas to help you free yourself from the mental clutter that naturally coincides with the physical clutter. And you'd be surprised at some of the unexpected places where that kind of clutter shows up!

#245: The Science Behind Gratitude Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

The idea of gratitude seems fairly simple. Right?

"Be thankful for what you have."

We should all feel grateful. Well, at least that's what we want to feel.

Unfortunately, gratitude can sometimes be very complicated. And the feeling of thankfulness doesn't always come naturally to everyone.

On today's episode of Life Made Simple, I explore a little bit of the science behind gratitude. And for those of you out there who might occasionally struggle with feeling grateful, I offer you a few ideas that might help.

#244: The Perfect Time of Year To Let Go and Declutter Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

During this time of year, the trees naturally know that it's time to drop their leaves to make room for new ones in the spring.

Wouldn't it be amazing if we did the same thing? If we naturally knew how to let go of the old to make room for the new? On today's episode of Life Made Simple, I give you my thoughts on how to do just that.

#243: What Do You Surround Yourself With? Nov 15, 2019

Show notes

What do you surround yourself with?

Throughout your everyday life you are surrounded by things, people, and ideas. You see things and you hear things. And when you see and experience those things, they have some sort of an effect on you, whether you know it or not. Your brain is constantly absorbing the positive and negative energies that those things represent to you, which may be different for different people.

What matters is whether or not it is a positive or negative effect.

For today's episode, I focus on information that we surround ourselves with. I also give you ideas on how to build better boundaries with sources of information that tend to pop up and steal your attention when you least expect it.

#238: Transform Your Kids Into Healthy Eaters Aug 01, 2019

Show notes

When I was a new mom, I was convinced that my child was going to eat anything I put in front of him. I was determined that he would never be a picky eater and would love eating vegetables. I loved healthy foods when I was a kid, so why wouldn't he?

Well, unfortunately, Levi has an aversion to most anything green. And he would easily eat cake and ice cream for every meal if I let him! So I've definitely had to learn how to get really strategic to insure he eats a well balanced diet.

For today's episode I wrap up our series all about healthy eating. After announcing the winners for our Clean Eating Magazine giveaway, I share with you some really great tried and true tips on how to get your child to eat healthy foods.
