Discover practical strategies to navigate the shopping frenzy, avoid unnecessary purchases, and still revel in the joy of finding meaningful gifts for your loved ones.

Learn about thoughtful gifting and mindful consumption, ensuring a fulfilling holiday season without the clutter.

There seems to be little literature and research about "mindful consumption" and I wish I could bring you more information about it.

For now, we will keep it basic and describe it as a practice of "being deliberate and thoughtful in our buying habits, understanding the impact of our purchases on both ourselves and the world." 

Share this episode with a friend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Friend!!!

Thank you so much for still hanging out with me despite how it has been since I brought you a new episode.

This episode is special, coming straight from the heart, especially because it's my birthday today!

Listen in as I talk with you about why it's so vital to determine your "why". Maybe you've heard of this before and thought about how corny it is but hear me out because it may change the way you approach decluttering.

Today's special guest is Professional Organizer Holly Perez, owner of H.A.P. Organizing Solutions. Join us as we talk about how getting organized is a form of self-care. Holly also shares actionable tips and her own journey with getting organized. 

The term "self-care" has been a marketing buzzword lately, and it evokes mixed feelings for many, including myself. An article I found on Yahoo states that the term "self-care" has "become so big and amorphous that it can be difficult to suss out what it really is at its core and why it matters." While we didn't take the time to dig into the history of self-care and how it became so popular, we considered getting organized as a way for us to take better care of ourselves.

If you're like me, I feel at peace when I know that my environment is in order. I feel like I can breathe easier when I know I can find things quickly and easily. But if these feelings continue to elude you as they did me for many years,  know that there is always hope and help. And the bonus? You get to take care of your overall well-being by getting organized.

Are you ready to go from chaos to calm? Pop on those earbuds, friend, and join the conversation.

 

About Holly Perez:

Holly is the owner of H.A.P. Organizing Solutions. 

H.A.P. stands for multiple things: Happy and Productive, Home and Paper,  Harmonious and Peaceful, and my initials, Holly A. Perez. 

As a full-time work-from-home mom, I know the feeling of overwhelm while dealing with the everyday paper that piles up everywhere in the home office, kitchen, car, closet, and more. I offer group workshops and one-on-one sessions to help solve the problem for good. My goal is to assist you in being happy and productive, while reducing the stress and overwhelm so that you can focus on what matters most.

Ever feel like life is throwing everything at you all at once and you want to hide under a blanket, away from everyone?

In this episode, we're getting real about those times when it all feels like too much and what to do about it.

No fancy talk here - just a time to catch your breath when life won't slow down. 

Join me for some practical talk on getting through the tough spots, finding your footing again, and not having to feel alone.

Avalanche. Tsunami. Mountains. Oceans. Would these words accurately describe the amount of paper that we process throughout our lifetime?

Let me share a statistic used by the book I am about to introduce to you: "The average American household processes a paper stack as high as a two-story house every year." Imagine that! So maybe it's not outlandish to describe our paper as an avalanche, tsunami, etc.

Even with massive technological advances and a push for a paperless (or at least less paper) society, paper is here to stay, and it only continues to overwhelm us and our homes.

What's the solution? I am glad you asked. Listen in as I talk with you more about paper organization and THE book that could solve our paper problems, written by Lisa Woodruff called Paper Solution: What To Shred, What To Save, and How To Stop It from Taking Over Your Life.

Also, check out Episode 68 where I talked with my friend Emily Lowry about how to get your paper organized. She is certified to teach Lisa's Sunday Basket system (mentioned in the book).

 

Do you find yourself distracted even after you've scheduled a time to declutter a particular area in your home? Something that you deem more important comes up. You receive a phone call or text message that "needs" your attention. Someone needs something from you. Mind you, this happens within the short 15 minutes that you try to declutter, even just a bedside table.

My friend, you are definitely not alone on this.

No one is immune to distractions (not even a professional organizer), especially in this day and age where everything and everyone are vying for our attention. 

Take a listen to this episode as we explore an important question we need to ask ourselves when distractions come DURING our decluttering time.

Click HERE to read the blog post I referred to about defeating distraction written by Erin Pavlicek. As I mentioned, it's spiritual in nature. Don't feel like you have to share the beliefs of the writer (or mine) for the content to be useful for you. 

 

 

 

Just imagine looking inside your closet, smiling, and loving everything you had in it. Getting dressed for work or for an event is a breeze because you can find what you need and you no longer run late. Sounds amazing, right?

Unfortunately, this is not (yet) the case for many of us. According to a survey from OnePoll, 47% of women struggle with deciding on which work outfit they should wear. The struggle is real! 

Help is on the way, my friend. My guest, Holly Moran, a Professional Organizer, will help us get started on the right foot and guide us toward a closet space we can feel good about.

Do you ever feel like quitting because it seems like a never-ending feat to continue decluttering and getting organized? If so, this episode is for you!

If your new year resolution or goal was to get more organized...last year in 2022...and you're still not seeing progress, listen up before you put your hands up in surrender. Quitting is not an option around here but sometimes it's okay to pause or dial down. I'm here for you either way.

Receipts. Legal documents. Paper bills. Magazines. Work papers. Random notes you wrote on Post-Its. Grocery lists. To-do lists. All. The. Paper.

With these ongoing incoming papers, it can really become frustrating when they pile up and you hardly know what to do with them.

We then stash them away while we hope they would disappear on their own, except, they don't and they leave us frustrated and overwhelmed.

Can you relate? I've been there too!

Join me and my guest, friend, and fellow professional organizer, Emily Lowry, as she walks us through how to tackle these papers so that you no longer have to feel stressed out, especially when you can't find that one piece of paper that you need right away.

More about Emily:

As a professional organizer, wife, and mom, Emily is here to help. She knows what it's like because she's been there too. Emily understands the mass amount of papers that enter our homes and she also has a solution that will not only bring you order and organization, but it will also help you become more purposeful, peaceful, and productive.    For over 10 years, Organizing with Emily has helped busy, overwhelmed women, just like you, reclaim their homes, gain confidence, increase productivity, find peace and learn the skill of organizing.    Click HERE and snag Emily's amazing (and free) paper-organizing guide

Good grief, Grace!!! (Emoji head in hand)

As if the topics needed to get any heavier this month for Mental Health Awareness, I add another tough one: grief. But I promise you that this is a much-needed conversation even if you are not currently experiencing grief, it will be eye-opening and will help you navigate a life transition, no matter how small.

My new friend and fellow professional organizer, Jenn Dickel graciously accepted my invitation to come to the podcast to talk about grief organizing. Say what? Well, listen to the episode and find out what this is all about.

Let's face it: moving is stressful and challenging on many fronts - emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially. 

Yet, each year, tens of millions of people in the US relocate from their place of birth or current residence to another location within the same city, county, state, country, or abroad for many reasons.

(Read more at: https://www.mymovingreviews.com/move/how-often-and-why-americans-move/)

During these moves, we tend to accumulate belongings along the way, and the next thing we know, we have more stuff than we know what to do with.

In this episode, I chatted with Deanna Yates about this very topic and how minimalism has played a significant role in her life of relocating 16 times in the past 20 years.

She provided listeners with practical decluttering and downsizing advice for those who are ready to let go and who crave more space in their homes and lives.

I hope you enjoy and are helped by this conversation with Deanna.

Deanna Yates is the busy mama behind the top-ranking podcast, Wannabe Clutter Free, where she helps other busy families learn how to let go of the stuff holding them back so they can enjoy more time together, stop spending their weekends cleaning house, and wake up excited for the day ahead.

Deanna is mom to one daughter, wife to a startup entrepreneur, and is living her dream life in San Diego, CA. When she's not helping clients realize their dreams, you can find her on her Peloton, searching for the tastiest breakfast burrito, or balancing her love of a good Target run with living clutter-free in her own home.

What happens between our ears matters! Our mental health is just as important as physical health and I hope to begin the conversation with you through this episode. 

What does mental health have to do with getting our homes and lives decluttered and organized? More than we realize! Though I only scratch the surface in this episode, I hope to have more conversations with you about the impact of clutter and organization on one's mental well-being.

Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist defines minimalism as “the intentional promotion of the things that bring you joy and the removal of those that do not.” 

Years ago, I pictured minimalism as a nearly empty room with just a table, chair, and may one frame hanging on the wall. Boring!  It was a foreign concept to me and didn't really care for it.  It could be that I had certain fears that if I adopted it, I would have to get rid of my most precious possessions. Hints of guilty feelings about having too much stuff, I suspect, also kept me away from the true essence of minimalism.

Today, I am rethinking these beliefs and am excited that it's probably going to be one of the best things to happen to me (or for me to make happen, that is) and I may already be on the path. Hmmmm...

Join me and my new friend, Desireé Robinson, as we chat about what she refers to as "realistic minimalism".  

Desireé is a wife, mom of two littles, a homesteader, and passionate about helping moms live an intentional, mindful, and meaningful lifestyle. She currently hosts a podcast called "Unprocessed Momma Intentional Lifestyle" where moms can find support with realistic minimalism and eliminating toxins.

Hi Friends! 

Have you ever had these great plans and life seems to go just right, then BAM! Something happens that stops you in your tracks and even derails you. Be of good courage, you are not alone. 

I have been quiet on the pod lately and you will hear why.  March has been a tough month, as many of you may have also experienced but know that you are often top of mind in this podcast and that your life experiences matter, organized or not.

Hugs,

Grace

 

P.S. I spoke about "trauma" in this episode and while what I went through may not appear on the level that the general population considers so, let us be careful not to compare one another's experiences but instead embrace and accept each other as we all go through hardships, little and big traumas, and difficulties in life.  Love you lots!

In these challenging times in our world, it seems more difficult to celebrate, even our smallest wins. I sometimes get into "self-guilt" mode and think, "How can I celebrate when people are suffering?" I quickly realized that this helps no one, especially myself.

Instead, I have been shifting my thoughts and words into, "I care and will do my part about what is happening currently AND express cheer and gratefulness for life, accomplishments, and personal wins (large and small)."

My podcasting journey has not been an easy road with a couple of starts and stops but I am thankful to still be here, continuing on for you. 

There is no better way to highlight this milestone than having a conversation with Danielle Esbit-Ayala, my friend, co-worker, and top listener of Organize with Grace. (Thank you, Danielle, so grateful for you!)

This was such a fun episode where Danielle talked with me about how the podcast has impacted her organizing journey. She also shares her 3 favorite episodes and why she chose them.

THANK YOU to all of you lovely listeners.  It is because of you that this podcast exists! You are always welcome to the OWG community.

Danielle's faves (Click on the episode number to listen now)!

Episode 39- Unveiling The Impact of Workplace Burnout and How To Take Action

Episode 40- Turn Your Hot-Mess Digital Photos Into A Meaningful Story

Episode 46- Go From Blah To Beautiful And Confident With Everything You Wear AND Simplify Your Wardrobe Without Breaking the Bank

Need help getting organized? We can do it together virtually!  Click here so we can talk about what you need to move forward with your organization!

Instead of a tangled, overwhelming hot mess of scattered analog and digital photos that leave you stressed, imagine having your most precious memories neatly organized and displayed.

You'd be able to enjoy those visual keepsakes while crafting the “best of the best” visual legacy that you and your children can easily access for years to come.

If this resonates with you, this episode could be the solution you needed yesterday.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Haleh Shoa, Founder and CEO of Picturli: a photo organization, curation, archiving, and design studio that helps families, individuals, and businesses transform their chaotic mess of photos into one clear and cohesive digital library. Haleh and her team meticulously organize their clients’ photo collections into a searchable, secure, and easily sharable photo archive. Haleh believes that family histories and personal memories are some of the most valuable treasures that exist and that preserving and sharing them is crucial for future generations.

She shared many great tips about photo organization from first steps to regularly cleaning up your camera roll for better-looking photos.

If you like taking notes while listening, here are the 7 steps to organize and archive your photos:

1. Decide on a goal

2. Gather your photos & other memories

3. Gather your tools

4. Sorting and Categorizing

5. Scan your photos

6. Proper storage solutions

7. Digital back-up

"Research conducted for the Huffington Post showed that 84 percent of Americans worry that their homes aren’t organized (or clean) enough — and 55 percent of those folks say it’s a big cause of stress." (https://nbcnews.to/3GRseFx)

Keeping this quote in mind, listen to this episode as I share with you the 10+ items I stopped purchasing (or have purchased less of) to curb the clutter in my home! I will then show you how I did so!

Clutter is often a cause of stress so take a deep breath, sit awhile and use this episode as motivation to declutter today!

Ok, correction on item 8, which is makeup! I have not stopped purchasing them altogether like I said but I have purchased significantly less and I stick to essentials like mascara, powder, and foundation. :)
