She is proud to share that she is neurodivergent and feels like others should too. She continues to research and educate herself to help others understand what it means to be neurodivergent because they are often misunderstood.

Women & Emotional Labor with Regina F. Lark, Ph.D. CPO® Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

As women, there is overwhelming pressure to "have it all". If that's your thought process, stop it right now!!! Stop carrying that heavy load, you don't have to do it all! In this episode, Naeemah chats with Regina F. Lark, Ph.D. CPO®. They dive deep into emotional labor and its effects on women.

Before tech evangelists and productivity gurus proclaimed neurohacking as a means to a better life, Dr. Regina Lark worked to decipher how the brain’s “executive functions” impact household management and organization — and expose the related outcome of the unequal distribution of labor at home. You might even call Lark the original brain-hacking entrepreneur.

In 2008, before founding A Clear Path, a Los Angeles-area based professional organizing company, Lark excelled in a career in higher education. But when budget cuts eliminated her position at UCLA, Lark started over at age 50. At A Clear Path, Lark and her ninja organizers provide professional physical, emotional, and psychological support to people who wish to clear clutter and chaos from their lives.

Lark, a Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO®) and Accredited Senior Move Manager has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Who What Wear, and other media outlets. She has been ranked annually as one of the top professional organizations in the United States by entities as diverse as KCBS-TV/KCAL-TV, Expertise.com.

In her third and most recent book, “Emotional Labor: Why a Woman’s Work Is Never Done and What to Do About It,” Lark leverages her expertise as a feminist historian and professional organizer to help women to share the weight of emotional labor to achieve gender equity at home. She offers concrete ways for women to identify and mitigate the costs of women’s unseen, unnoticed and unwaged work at home.

A National Speakers’ Association member, she delivers keynote addresses, retreats, and corporate speaking engagements on women’s leadership, emotional labor, time management, productivity, hoarding, and ADHD.

SWOOP Hanger™ with Libra Riley Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

Installing double hanging systems in your closet will maximize your hanging space, but what happens when you need space for your long-hanging garments? Insert this genius invention that will keep them stored in your short-hanging section beautifully. In this episode, Naeemah chats with the inventor of SWOOP Hanger™, Libra Riley. They talk about how Swoop Hanger™ will add a whole new level of organization to your closet.

Libra Riley is the Founder & CEO of SWOOP Hanger™, a patented hanger design that transitions the length of long garments to Maximize Closet Storage, Protect Garments, and Streamline Travel. Closet space is THE real estate within our real estate and most never have enough, so many go with little or no "long hang" storage to truly maximize their space. Well now with SWOOP Hanger™, casual maxi dresses and skirts, tanks, formal gowns (special occasions, bridal, prom), and jumpsuits fit on upper racks, lower racks, and in all those closet system compartments!

Libra’s interest in organizing began many years ago out of the desire to make her own space more organized, and as a result more beautiful. Necessity truly being the mother of invention, she found herself standing in her own closet in need of a solution. Moments later she grabbed two wire hangers, swooped up the bottom of her dress, and clipped the hangers together. And just like that ... SWOOP Hanger™ was born!

Libra truly believes “just a little bit of organization, gives back precious moments for life-changing inspiration!” She won first and second prize in the 2021 SCORE Black Entrepreneur Pitch Event (Start-Up Product category). Libra is a NABPO member, and prior to developing SWOOP, she worked for 10+ years in non-profit management supporting women, children, and families, and in the entertainment industry.
