Ep 085: Organizing with Purpose Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

Inspired by the story of Abram in Genesis 12, I dove deeper into what it means to pursue our purpose. (Yes, that’s Abram, before he was called Abraham…you know like the song, “Father Abraham had many sons…”)

So what’s your purpose? Loaded question, huh? We multitasking moms could probably answer that in lots of different ways.

On this episode I wanted to focus on the promises God makes, how He opens doors to new opportunities (should we choose to accept them), and what it might look like to prepare our home/environment in a way that encourages and allows us to pursue our passions and purpose!

Highlights from this episode:

{4:48} God gives us our passions

{11:43} Getting the right signs

{16:42} Following your passion can be scary!

{21:31} Organizing is done physically AND mentally

{24:55} Hey girl, you're doing okay

Ep 60: Ask For Help

Ep 69: Hiring a Handyman

Ep 81: Digital Decluttering with Katrina Teeple

Ep 83: Organization as Therapy

Ep 84: Starting Mental Health Conversations with Matt Skinner

Ep 083: Organization as Therapy Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

As a recovering perfectionist I’ve learned how therapeutic organization in my home and schedule can be.

I grew up with this self-imposed, overachieving mentality that only escalated my anxiety and stress level everyday. As I’ve gotten older I’ve found ways to be a leader, entrepreneur, business owner, mom, and every other job I accept, without having to take on the burdens of those responsibilities. Instead, I’ve learned to alleviate much of that stress and anxiety and enjoy those roles to the fullest!

Organization has been the key to that enjoyment and in many ways become my own form of therapy.

Here are 3 ways I use organization as therapy.

Essential: Have less. (Less is more!)

Enhancement: Manage realistic expectations.

Extra: Style your space with the proper organizers.

Highlights from this episode:

{3:19} Organization helped me, and it can help you too

{6:52} Don't hide your imperfections

{9:31} Stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself

{15:23} Let your kids be kids

{21:14} Finding a post-Covid routine that works for you

{24:53} Have realistic expectations

{28:06} Organize your things to keep anxiety at bay

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 10: Reclaim Your Space with Amy Pendergraft

Ep 30: The Never-Ending Mail Pile

Ep 55: Laundry Room Organization

Ep 60: Ask For Help

Ep 73: Less is More

Ep 84: Starting Mental Health Conversations with Matt Skinner

I hope this episode inspires you to view the organization of your space and schedule as therapy! If it did please share it with a friend, and it would mean so much to me if you could take a quick moment to write a REVIEW on Apple Podcasts!
