Staying Organized After Becoming a Parent with Naomi Kyalo Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Becoming a parent can throw your home life for a loop! Suddenly there is a lot more laundry, and toys thrown all over the floor. In this episode, Naeemah chats with Naomi Kyalo, the owner of Thrive In Order. They discuss how life has changed for Naomi since having her daughter and what parents can do to stay organized.

Naomi is one of the founding members of The National Association of Black Professional Organizers and owner of Thrive in Order in Atlanta. She is a general residential and business organizer, who is passionate about supporting others in the journey to create and maintain order in their spaces and daily lives so they can thrive. She also enjoys downsizing projects and move management.
Born and raised in Kenya, Naomi has always had a knack for order, which she believes is derived from growing up in an organized home, time spent straightening her family’s retail store shelves, and generally having less stuff. She did not start organizing for others though until she lived in Atlanta for a while and discovered `professional organizing’. With a background in healthcare, she has the tools and a great desire to serve others. Organizing enables her to fulfill that purpose whether it’s for the busy professional, the overwhelmed parent, or the senior client that’s not physically able to do it themselves. Her biggest accomplishment is the lives she’s able to help transform through attaining order. She strongly believes that being organized is an essential tool for living a fulfilling life so "Thrive in order”!

Mastering Meal Prep with Carolyn Rogers Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Naeemah discusses meal prep with professional organizer and owner of Neat Nerd Solutions, Carolyn Rogers. She talks about her tried and true methods of successful meal preparation.

Carolyn hasn't always embraced being neat and organized but has always been a nerd. She has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and has been a software engineer for over a decade. She likes brain games and puzzles. She's been organizing on some level for over 30 years. That's right, she was the 12-year-old who cleaned her brother's room for pay. But even she went through a messy period. Her room always looked like her closet exploded. Her desk looked like she shared it with a bunch of blind monkeys. But one day it struck her that she really didn’t like looking for stuff. She found that she was less frustrated and had more time to do the things that she liked when she didn’t have to clean up or search for papers and other things. So slowly but surely, she became more and more neat. Now even her messes have some kind of order. And then it began to spread. She ran out of things to neaten in her own space so she began to neaten her family and friends. She organized her co-workers. Carolyn thinks organizing is a lot like solving a puzzle and she actually finds it to be relaxing. She is very drawn to boxes and containers and she takes advantage of every opportunity to wander around places like the Container Store and IKEA. "I guess you can say I am a nerd who is fast becoming a geek about organizing."
