An organized home can still leave Mom completely exhausted when every routine and system depends on her to keep it working.

In this special 100th episode of The Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I'm sharing what years of organizing, parenting three children, and testing family routines taught me about raising capable kids and reducing Mom's mental load.

You'll hear about the Sunday I spent two hours creating a spotless home that lasted about ten minutes, the Google Nest morning system that turned me into "a micromanager with a soundtrack," and the system that finally helped my children take more responsibility.

This episode is for the mom who has calendars, routines, chore charts, and reminders, but still feels like she is the person holding everything together.

We'll talk about:

• Why a spotless home is not the same as a functional home • Why micromanaging does not teach children to manage themselves • How shared ownership creates more capacity for Mom • How to help kids begin taking responsibility at home • One small ownership shift you can try with your family

✨To celebrate Episode 100, I'm also opening two complimentary listener spots in my 5-Day Ownership Reset.✨

Summer can look relaxed from the outside, but inside the house? It can feel like snacks, towels, laundry, activities, water bottles, sunscreen, and questions are all landing on mom.

In this episode of The Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I'm sharing a simple summer reset for busy moms who don't want to recreate the school-year routine but still need enough structure to keep the house from feeling like a free-for-all.

You'll learn how to create summer launch zones, use a quick weekly "what's happening?" check-in, and choose one daily anchor that helps your family reset without everything falling back on you.

This episode is especially for default moms of school-aged kids who feel like summer somehow became another full-time job.

✨Want help creating your own summer reset? DM me the word RESET for the Summer Reset Checklist.

✨And if everything still feels like it flows through you, check the show notes for details about the Clarity Kickstart.

If your routines feel like they fall apart the second summer starts, the calendar gets busy, or life stops being predictable, this episode is for you.

Because sometimes the problem is not that you lack discipline.

Sometimes the problem is that you are trying to run a full-capacity routine in a reduced-capacity season.

In this episode, I'm sharing a different way to think about routines, especially during summer, busy family seasons, activities, travel, sick days, or any season where your normal structure feels completely out of whack.

I also share two real-life examples from my own family: one summer when the kids were younger, home more, in and out of the pool, and the house simply could not stay "tip-top clean," and another season when Onnig had a lot of volunteer commitments on top of jiu-jitsu, and we had to decide what was truly creating the biggest impact for our family.

The big takeaway?

Your routine may not be broken.

Your capacity may be maxed out.

And when your capacity is maxed out, the answer is not always to try harder. Sometimes the answer is to adjust the routine, reduce the load, or let something go.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why routines often fall apart during summer or busy seasons
  • The difference between a routine problem and a capacity problem
  • The three capacity levels: Full Capacity, Reduced Capacity, and Survival Capacity
  • How to shrink your routines without abandoning them completely
  • Why summer may require a different standard, not a better cleaning routine
  • How "good" commitments can still stretch your family too thin
  • Why leadership at home sometimes means deciding what matters most right now
  • A simple three-column exercise to help you create routines that actually survive real life

Your action step:

Choose one routine that keeps collapsing.

Write three versions of it:

  1. Full Capacity
  2. Reduced Capacity
  3. Survival Capacity

Then circle the one you are actually in right now and follow that version for the next seven days.

Mentioned in this episode:

Episode 89: Why Your Routines Don't Stick and the Phase One Rule That Actually Works

If you are new here, or if routines have always felt hard to maintain, go back and listen to Episode 89. These episodes build on each other, and Episode 89 will help you understand why routines need to be simplified before they can become sustainable.

If you want some accountability, DM me the word CAPACITY and tell me your three must-haves for your Reduced Capacity routine.

Remember:

You do not need a perfect routine.

You need a routine that can change size.

Because when the routine fits your capacity, it has a much better chance of surviving real life.

Feel like you're the only one who thinks ahead at home? If your partner has a different style, different urgency, or a different definition of "good enough," this episode will help you create a shared family rhythm without turning it into a fight.

In this episode, we'll talk about why this dynamic feels so activating, why it's not a character flaw, and how to build predictable expectations using rhythm anchors and "minimum standard agreements." You'll also learn what to do when your partner agrees but doesn't follow through, and how to get kids on board so it doesn't become Mom vs everyone.

🎯 Try this today: pick ONE rhythm anchor (kitchen close, backpacks before bed, or a Sunday reset) and commit to it for two weeks.

🔶If you want my one-page Rhythm Cheat Sheet (minimum standards list + exact scripts + anchor options), DM me RHYTHM.

Feeling overwhelmed because everything feels important? Routines, meals, laundry, decluttering, kids' responsibilities — it all matters, and it all feels urgent.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why trying to change everything at once backfires for busy moms, and how to choose ONE habit for this season — the habit that reduces friction and makes your life feel lighter.

You'll learn the 20% Easier framework (a simple way to pick the right habit), plus the consistency rule that keeps moms from quitting when life gets messy: never miss twice.

If you're the default parent and your capacity is already maxed out, this is the reset you need.

If your home "flow" keeps breaking and you feel like you're carrying everything, this episode is the next step: building capable kids through responsibility.

We're not talking about kids doing chores perfectly or "helping when they feel like it." We're talking about the kind of responsibility that builds real confidence and follow-through, so you're not stuck rescuing, redoing, and managing every task.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • why capable kids are built by design (not luck)
  • why confidence comes from contribution (not praise)
  • how rescuing teaches "I don't have to finish"
  • the Level System: teaching responsibility in small, winnable steps
  • a simple Laundry Levels 1–5 example you can copy this week

✅ Want help choosing a responsibility that fits your child's age? DM or Comment RESPONSIBILITY and tell me how old they are.

🔷 And if you want a simple way to track responsibilities without turning into the reminder system for your whole house, join the waitlist using the link in the show notes.

If your home feels like it falls apart the second you stop moving, you're not messy and you're not failing. Your home is probably missing flow: a clear path for daily life to move through your space, especially during transitions like coming home, getting ready for bed, and getting out the door.

In this episode, I break down why clutter isn't random, why "just put it away" systems don't stick, and why moms end up carrying the mental load when flow is broken. Then I walk you through a simple fix you can set up this week: the 3-Bucket Landing Zone (Today / Belongs To / Leaving) so your counters stop becoming stress piles.

If you want help identifying your biggest friction point, take the "What's Your Organizing Style?" quiz. And if you want my 3-bucket landing zone setup written out, comment FLOW and I'll send it.

  • The 3 conditions that make chores actually work
  • The first chore every kid over 7 should learn
  • How to stop doing everything yourself without guilt

If you feel like you're constantly doing something around the house—cleaning, resetting, organizing—yet nothing ever sticks…

You're not failing. And your house isn't broken.

You've just been trying to run daily life without the systems that support it.

In this episode, I'm sharing the 3 home systems that change everything—because routines don't survive on motivation. They survive on structure:

  1. Drop Zones — where backpacks, shoes, mail, coats actually land
  2. Daily Reset — a simple rhythm that prevents the mess from compounding
  3. Responsibility — who owns what (not who helps when asked)

Because when responsibility isn't clear… everything defaults back to mom.

🎧 And if you haven't listened to Episode 89 yet, go watch that one next (link below). I'll show you how to shrink routines so they actually stick.

If you've ever wondered why routines don't stick, this episode is for you.

Most routines fall apart not because you lack discipline — but because they're built for perfect days. When life gets busy, messy, or unpredictable, routines collapse. That's why routines don't stick for so many busy moms.

In this episode, I explain the simple Phase One Rule that fixes this problem and helps you build routines that stick — even on hard days.

🔷You'll learn: • Why routines fail after a few weeks • How to shrink a habit so it becomes sustainable • How to attach routines to something that already exists • Why your organizing style affects what kind of routine works for you

If you're tired of starting over every month, this will help you finally build routines that last.

🔷Next week: I'm going deeper into the home systems that routines attach to — because without those, nothing sticks long-term.

If your planner looks great but your days still feel exhausting, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I'm breaking down why traditional schedules don't work for moms — especially default parents carrying the mental load.

If you've tried planners, routines, or time blocking and still end most days depleted, this isn't a discipline problem. It's a design problem.

I'll walk you through:

  • Why most schedules weren't built for the reality of motherhood
  • The three biggest schedule flaws that drain moms
  • How mental load and constant transitions quietly sabotage your day
  • Why energy matters more than productivity
  • One simple shift you can make this week to feel more supported

This episode isn't about doing more or trying harder. It's about designing a schedule that actually supports your life.

As we wrap up 2025, it's easy to focus on everything that didn't get done. But the truth is, your small wins—the tiny actions, shifts, and systems you put in place—are what actually move your home and life forward.

In today's episode, we're flipping the script.

I'm walking you through how to spot your small wins, why they matter more than you think, and how they quietly build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and create real momentum… even when life feels chaotic.

I'm also sharing a few personal examples and client stories to help you see the progress you've already made (even if it doesn't feel like it).

Enjoy the episode!

If you've ever felt like the wires, chargers, clutter hotspots, or "random stuff that makes no sense" in your home are slowly chipping away at your sanity… this episode is going to feel like a giant exhale.

I'm sharing my top five favorite organizing tools I've used all year—simple things that genuinely made my business easier, my mom life smoother, and our home less chaotic. These are the exact items that helped cut visual clutter, reduce daily stress, and save us time (without needing a full-on makeover).

From label-friendly Velcro straps and wire-hiding boxes… to game-changing kitchen containers, a custom bathroom fix, DVD downsizing, and even a nostalgic-but-brilliant rice dispenser—these tools tightened up the everyday mess so our home could run easier.

What you'll walk away with: – A handful of simple tools that immediately reduce stress and visual clutter – Practical ideas to streamline the hidden "micro-messes" that slow you down – Space-saving systems that help your family stay organized too – Inspiration to fix the small annoyances you've been tolerating for way too long

If you're craving smoother routines and a home that feels lighter, you're going to love this one.

Enjoy the episode!

We all want strong, connected relationships with our kids—but sometimes, without realizing it, we fall into patterns that do the opposite.

In this episode of The Organized-ish Parent Podcast, Dianne shares how a simple dinner out with friends revealed just how easy it is to drift into accidental parenting—those small, well-meaning habits that create bigger problems down the road.

She breaks down:

  • What accidental parenting looks like (and how it starts)
  • How to model healthy connection in a digital world
  • The power of playing the long game in parenting
  • Questions that get your kids talking again

If you've ever caught yourself wondering why your kids seem distant or glued to their screens, this episode will help you reconnect intentionally—without guilt, pressure, or perfectionism.

In this episode of the Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I’m sharing what I learned from spending time at my kids’ school—especially during lunch hour.

Let’s just say: kids are way more capable (and opinionated) than we think.

You’ll hear what they really want when it comes to helping at home, what’s actually holding them back, and how you can start delegating chores to kids without the nagging or power struggles.

I’ll walk you through real conversations, small shifts that build independence, and practical steps to help your kids step up—so you can finally stop doing it all yourself.

🎧 Listen in and learn how to: ✅ Build trust so your kids take ownership ✅ Turn everyday routines (like lunch prep) into teamwork ✅ Reclaim time and calm at home

It’s not about perfection—it’s about partnership. Let’s raise capable kids and lighten your load, one small win at a time.

Enjoy the episode!

Are you tired of wasting time hunting for things or tripping over clutter? In this episode, I’m breaking down the power of home zones—simple systems that help busy moms simplify, delegate, and reclaim time. You’ll learn how to set up activity zones (like efficient kitchen prep stations and streamlined bathroom routines) and drop zones (for backpacks, shoes, mail, and all the stuff that usually piles up). These strategies cut down on chaos, make delegation easier, and free up your mental space.

If you’ve ever wished your home would just run smoother, this is for you. And don’t forget to take my free quiz to discover your organizing personality and get personalized tips to build a home system that actually sticks!

Enjoy the episode!

Are you carrying the weight of the household and parenting on your own? In this episode of the Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I’m breaking down the 10 biggest problems moms face when there’s no communication about household chores and raising capable kids.

From constant disagreements with your spouse, to kids getting mixed messages, to resentment quietly building at home — silence is costing you more than you realize. But here’s the good news: once you see these pitfalls, you can change the pattern.

You’ll learn: ✅ Why lack of communication leads to uneven workloads and resentment ✅ How kids manipulate “the easier parent” when parents aren’t aligned ✅ The hidden cost of not teaching kids responsibility early ✅ How silence erodes respect and teamwork in your home ✅ Simple ways to spark healthy conversations with your partner

If you’ve ever felt like a “married single mom,” this episode is for you. It’s time to reclaim your voice, your time, and raise kids who can step up and contribute.

👉 Listen now, take notes, and start the conversation with your spouse today.

Enjoy the episode!

If your kids keep everything—rocks, papers, broken toys—you know how quickly clutter can take over, especially in summer. In this episode, I share practical strategies to help kids who refuse to throw things away learn how to make decisions, take responsibility for their space, and keep their rooms functional.

You’ll learn:

  • How to talk about clutter without a fight
  • Ways to show kids how mess impacts their life
  • Why leading by example changes everything
  • How to guide (not do) the decluttering process

It’s time to stop being the full-time clean-up crew and start raising kids who can manage their own things—so you can enjoy your home and your family time.

Enjoy the episode!

In this episode, I interview Kathy Bowers, an experienced parenting and life coach with over 20 years of expertise in social care and children's services. Bowers shares her journey from being a nursery nurse to becoming a family support worker, then transitioning to a performance coach, and finally founding her life coaching practice.

The discussion delves into the importance of communication, setting routines, handling challenging behaviors, and creating safe spaces for children. Bowers emphasizes the significance of listening to children, supporting their individuality, and not comparing oneself to other parents.

She also offers a unique perspective on managing parenting stress and fostering strong, positive family dynamics. The episode concludes with Bowers providing information on her coaching services, including how interested individuals can reach out to her for exploratory sessions.

Are your kids too busy to help around the house?

Welcome to another episode of Parenting Guide: Organizing Habits Made Easy podcast! In this episode, I discuss the challenges parents face when their kids are too busy to help out. I also explore the reasons behind this issue and provide practical solutions for parents.

In this podcast, I dive deep into the possible reasons why our kids may not be helping out as we expect. We look at both the child's perspective and the parent's role in communicating tasks effectively. We also examine the impact of our busy schedules and how it affects our children's willingness to contribute.

Join me as we explore these topics and discover actionable strategies for navigating this common parenting challenge. Together, we can create a harmonious environment at home while teaching our kids responsibility and teamwork.

In this special 50th episode, I discuss an effective approach to goal setting for the new year, 2024. This episode is inspired by a social media post focusing on setting specific, achievable goals based around a single, manageable action or habit. I also share my personal goals and the practical steps I plan to take to achieve them. The strategies shared are meant to be easy, actionable, and simple to maintain throughout the year.

In this episode, I talk about enjoying the holiday season in a unique and fun way, focusing on activities we don't usually do. I share a list of five fun activities that don’t always involve the kids.

The episode also touches on finding balance in busy schedules and remembering to appreciate the small joys amidst the chaos of the holiday season.

Hope you get some inspiration into creating your own unique activities. Or grab 1 or 2 ideas from this list to start the holidays on the right track.

Enjoy!

Today, we're delving into the challenges that resonate with every parent in the trenches – the holiday hustle, strikes, and the constant threat of illness.

🌟 Exploring Current Challenges with Compassion

Beyond the decorations and festivities, we're acknowledging the stress many of us are struggling with. From navigating the complexities of holidays to the weight of dealing with strikes and sickness, it's a chaotic time for us all.

🤒 Navigating Health Struggles with Shared Stories

In this episode, I share my own recent experience with having the flu and the ongoing struggle to recover. Through these stories, I aim to foster a sense of understanding and solidarity as we collectively face the daunting challenges of illnesses, flu, and the looming presence of COVID.

⚠️ Strikes, Work, and the Overwhelming Reality

As strikes disrupt the familiar routines, parents working (from home) find themselves in an even more challenging balancing act. The chaos at home and the interruptions at work are all too familiar. We're here to acknowledge the difficulties and provide a virtual shoulder to lean on.

🛠️ Empathetic Coping Strategies for Parental Survival

In the face of chaos, I share three practical coping strategies – creating personal space, tapping into creativity, and reconnecting with your support system. My aim is to provide a supportive environment and practical tips for alleviating stress and overwhelm.

Enjoy the episode!

Listen to the third and final episode of a series where I interview my kids. Hear their perspective and thoughts when it comes to their involvement in maintaining the house, find out when they're more resistant to doing chores, what this all means for them in the future, and so much more!

In this episode, it's my oldest kid's turn on the mic. Find out the differences and similarities between his take on chores vs his siblings, being the oldest child and what he'd do if he were the parent. Also, find out what it's like at our home from following a chore chart to whether getting paid to do chores is preferred or not. Also, learn to start practicing positive parenting by listening to your children and having conversations with them about chores. Who knows what you'll discover from these talks. You just might learn a thing, or two, about them as well as yourself!

Hope you enjoy this episode.

In this episode I talk about this crazy period in the parenthood journey and that's Back To School.

Back to school isn't just a one day event. This is actually the starting off point of when things start to change dramatically for everyone, not just the kids. As our schedules fill up, things need to be taken care of on top of all the things LIFE is throwing at us, it's easy to get lost, confused and overwhelmed.

This is a huge adjustment period most of us go through at least once a year. Unfortunately, some go through it alone. Listen to this much-needed-to-be-talked-about podcast episode to help you cope with the overwhelm. I give you ONE simple strategy as well as guide you to do this 1 thing, so you don't feel like you're at this alone.

Hope you find this episode helpful - Enjoy!

This is the second episode of a series of 3 where I have an honest conversation with my 9 year-old about :

  • helping around the house
  • what they'd do (better) if they were the parents, and
  • what's it like being kid the 3rd kid
  • Chore charts
  • And so much more!

AS parents it's important for us to maintain expectations and responsibilities within the household for everyone to feel more organized, fulfilled and find their place within our house. By doing so, we can ensure that everyone is working together and understanding each other's perspectives in maintaining the home.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

In special episode I ask my daughter a few questions about chores from having to do them to their importance in her life; To what she doesn't like doing and prefers; To discovering what she finds challenging and annoying to learning about her solutions when things don't have homes, plus so much more.

This episode may confirm what your kids are already feeling and thinking when it comes to chores. Or maybe, inspire you to ask your own kids about chores and open up the conversation with them. I'm sure you'll learn a thing or two in that conversation with them.

Hope you enjoy this episode friend!

Do you often say: ‘Oh, I’ll just do it myself, it’s easier' or 'It’ll get done properly if I do it’ when it comes to maintaining your home?

You're not alone.

Let's face it, the way they do things isn't the same way we do them nor the way we taught them how to do it. It can cause frustrations somtimes and the temptation to just redo the whole thing ourselves (waste of time, by the way) or just do it ourselves from the get-go.

Resist.

In this episode you'll learn the strategies I use to get passed through those thoughts and feelings so tune in. Hope you enjoy this episode my friend!

This episode is very different from anything I’ve released before because I’m taking you behind the scenes of what’s been going for me as a mom of kids in different schools, a wife partnering up with her husband for a special project we hope will help MANY families out there, being a CEO of our home, and the impact this all has on entrepreneur life; especially the impact on my podcast show.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I loved creating it for you. This is real talk. Enjoy!

This episode discusses strategies for successful parenting and couple hood, in the context of home organizing, teachable life skills, communication, and time management.

It references Marie Condo's “Joy of Tidying” Netflix series, Jordan Peterson's theories about argumentative relationships, and the idea of anchoring oneself in difficult times as a distraction.

Today's episode emphasizes the importance of understanding roles in a relationship, proactivity in parenting, open and honest communication, and setting reasonable expectations for children. By incorporating these concepts and working to improve one’s communication and time management skills, marriage and parenthood can be made easier and more effective.

As you listen to this episode, my hope is to arm you and give you tools and strategies of how to go about the holidays that won’t lead you to burnout. To give you tips and tricks on how to manage the overwhelm and be present and in the moment so that you can enjoy the holiday season amidst all the chaos, demands and spreading the joy at the same time.

For many it’s year-end so work is demanding to get all our numbers in, all the sales accounted for and working for that big bonus. This is also a time where the heaviness from losing someone can be felt so deeply or the feelings of guilt and self-worthiness can come creeping in and stinging some of us. It’s enough to get burnout… but let’s not get to that point.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How to set the tone so that your intentions are established and used as your guiding light to get through this season.
  • With setting the tone, you’ll learn ways to pace yourself so as to avoid the overwhelm that can lead to burnout.
  • Next, I’ll talk about creating space so that our mental health is always in check.
  • And finally, I’ll talk about something many of us struggle with and that’s: Setting boundaries because we know what lies ahead of us but how can we manage and control our tendencies as well?

Plug those headphones in or pump up the volume as you drive home from work - I’m here for you! Enjoy!

In this episode I’m pulling back the curtains and going through the 17 habits that both my husband, my kids and I live by. Often we don’t even realize that it’s also helping us save time, reduce overwhelm and avoid potential problems later on, but these habits do! So I want to share them with you in hopes that it helps to make your life a little easier!

From reducing the amount of decisions you make in a day, to structuring the laundry schedule in a way that simplifies things - leaving overwhelming thoughts and feelings at the door. To how to keep things off the floor to building a united front with your partner and so much more. It’s all here.

There’s only 1 instruction here: try 1 and make it your own. When that becomes part of your daily habits, test out another and follow the same recipe as the first. See your lifestyle change and mindset shift. Who knows where this new found momentum will take you.

When I became a mom and went through all the first time mom-feels: joys, discoveries and all the challenges. It REALLY became apparent on my mental load after I had my second baby.

I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt that I was spread way thin.

In this episode, I take you deep into a time where my mental load was at heavy, how it affected me and the future of my marriage and how I worked my way out of it.

With May being Mental Health Awareness month, I thought, what better way to increase the awareness, then by talking about it more so that we all put it out there, help people feel connected and ‘not alone’, so as to help them move towards seeking help and start the healing process.

I hope you enjoy it and share with someone who you think would benefit from hearing this today. ♥

This conversation initially took place during an Instagram Live on my guest’s feed but accidentally got deleted. Thank the electronic gods, we were able to retrieve it and save the raw footage - just unable to report video. And now, I’m bringing it all to you - on audio form.

The tables are turned where the conversation with fellow Pro Organizer and good friend, Marie-Odette Moubayed of Casa Pure, becomes her asking the Qs and me answering them!

Living almost parallel lives with a similar family structure (moms of 3+ kids) and love for helping people get organized… you’d think we’d address time management in the same way…maybe. But you’d have to tune in to this episode to find out.

n this episode, we’ll be covering Time Management, how we set up and plan our weekly schedules, how we set up our goals, and also share what works for us when it comes to managing our tasks and balancing mom-life with entrepreneurial life.

Hope you enjoy this episode!

So in today’s episode, I want to share some tips and tricks on how we can Reduce, Reuse and Recycle items in our home to help our planet and keep our home organized at the same time.

Now, just because Earth Day happens only once a year, let THIS year be a marker to start. Or if you don’t know how to go about it, take this episode as a starting point where you can apply these earth-saving habits into your daily life.

Because reducing the amount of things we don’t need or use anymore and disposing of them the proper way is a win for the environment, a win for our homes in gaining more space and an automatic win for our mental health. It’s no longer taking up space in your mind.

Enjoy this episode!

In this episode I interview fellow pro organizer and Montrealer, Stéphanie Galipeau of HOP. She takes us into her organizing world and reveals her 2 loves & brand new course coming out April 25, 2022. So, if you own a phone, a laptop, tablet…..or any kind of device that stores, files your documents, pictures, programs, etc.

Or you use tools and apps to help you streamline, connect or sync your devices with one another….

Or you have a long to-do list, an agenda to follow that never gets ticked off as ‘complete’...

Maybe all you have, at the VERY LEAST, is an email account…

… and you’re finding yourself overwhelmed with all the time you’re spending searching for your documents, or wondering if deleting files to save storage space will screw up the syncing on your other devices, or staring at your cluttered desktop or 98% FULL storage is cause for anxiety,….

This episode is for you.

*Note: Stéphanie’s course, free masterclass and free tools on her site are in French

The bathroom is either a place of chaos, comfort, a quiet zone or all of the above and everything else in between. It’s a busy common area that if we equip ourselves and set the space up, we can totally achieve that ideal space that we resort to from time to time, or every night to escape into the World Wide Web, where most ideas and inspiration are not the only things being formed, but one of the only spaces where we can lock ourselves in - and escape! But what we can't escape is cleaning it. In this episode I take you through my tips and tricks to help get this space organized and cleaned by EVERYONE in the household.

Tune in, take notes and enjoy!

This episode, I unveil how we started and what got the ball rolling for us to have this mindset; the logic behind our thinking that benefits all of us, and the one thing you can do to make your life easier - when it comes to raising self-sufficient, responsible and capable kids. Call it the BLUEPRINT on how to teach my kids and get them to be more and more independent, feel confident and empowered so that I, myself, feel comfortable and confident; and that they’ve got the basics, or foundations in place for the next level: adulthood.

But before that, I take you to where it all started. Grab a pen and paper to jot down some notes and ideas that come to mind as you listen in. I hope this episode inspires you to take action in gaining more freedom and peace of mind knowing that you’re on your way to feeling like you’re winning at this thing we call “parenthood”!

This episode is an edited version of my YouTube video I released back in April 2020. You can find the full video if you search the title on my channel: Dianne Jimenez. But you might appreciate this version a little more because it gets straight to the point about 'How to get your kids started with laundry' - or incorporating them in the process if you're just starting them off with this new skill.

Seeing that this is one of my first podcast episodes, I figured it would be a good thing for you to know my little backstory and how I became a professional organizer. Often, when we take a step back and look at the big picture to see if our current situation aligns with our end results or goals, it can take us by surprise- especially when we're in the thick of things and don't realize we may be a little off, or not on the right path. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes and get real with you about where my mind was at when I discovered things needed to change and the realization I made that could affect other parents too! Hope you enjoy this episode and feel free to connect in the comments section or give your review. I would appreciate it so very much! See you inside Dianne
