What should a professional organizer do when a senior client needs help—but does not feel ready to let go, downsize, or make a major change?
In this episode of the I Speak Organized Podcast, I’m joined by aging and change coach Tami Calais for an important conversation about supporting senior clients and their families through emotionally complicated transitions.
We talk about why resistance is not necessarily stubbornness, how aging can affect a person’s sense of autonomy and identity, and what organizers can do to build trust without pressuring clients into decisions they are not ready to make.
Tami shares practical insight into motivational interviewing, the stages of change, family dynamics, and how to help clients discover solutions rather than trying to “fix” the situation for them.
In this conversation, we cover:
• Why senior clients may resist downsizing or accepting help
• How to acknowledge a client’s feelings without reinforcing avoidance
• The difference between helping and forcing
• How adult children can unintentionally increase resistance
• Ways to preserve a senior client’s autonomy and dignity
• How professional organizers can create a safer emotional environment
• Why empathy and trust must come before decluttering
• What to do when the family and the client want different things
• How motivational interviewing can support better decisions
• The role professional organizers can play during aging-related transitions
One of my favorite reminders from this conversation is that it is not our job to fix people’s problems. Our role is to help clients find the solutions within themselves.
Whether you primarily work with seniors, help families prepare for moves, or occasionally encounter clients who are resistant to change, this episode will help you approach those situations with more confidence, empathy, and professionalism.

Professional organizers: if your client starts wondering why the project feels slower, messier, or more overwhelming than expected, the answer might not be to work harder.
It might be to communicate better.

In this episode, I’m sharing why progress reports are one of the most powerful client communication tools you can use as a professional organizer, especially when you’re working on larger organizing projects, move-support projects, estate projects, unpacking projects, or any job where the client is investing hundreds, thousands, or even five figures into the process.
Because here’s the truth: clients often focus on what is left, not what has already been accomplished.
A simple progress report helps your client understand what was completed, what was uncovered, what changed, what still needs attention, and what the next best step should be. It also helps you explain the messy middle without sounding defensive, name the invisible labor your team is doing behind the scenes, and rebuild client confidence before doubt turns into frustration.
I’ll also show how tools like Jobber can support the workflow behind your progress reports by helping you keep client notes, job notes, photos, checklists, scheduling details, team tasks, and follow-up reminders organized in one place.

Clients, especially those who are people pleasers, often struggle to provide honest project feedback during organizing sessions. It's critical to ensure the system works for them, not just for you, so it's important to ask for feedback and make adjustments accordingly. Effective client engagement leads to long-term client success.
Feeling buried in the business side of your organizing biz? You’re not alone—and today’s guests are here to help you rescue hours worked and actually enjoy running your business again. 🙌
In this candid, behind-the-scenes episode, I sit down with Stephanie Sikora and Jen Martin, co-founders of Reset Solutions Consulting, to unpack what’s REALLY draining your time, energy, and profits as a professional organizer—and how to fix it without burning out.
These two industry powerhouses built and scaled organizing companies with teams of 5 to 19 organizers, and they’ve made every mistake (so you don’t have to). From charging for ALL your time (yes, even planning and proposals), to using walkie-talkies on site (you’ll never go back), to building backend systems that actually work, this conversation is packed with wisdom, laughs, and actionable insights.
💥 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why your systems are secretly leaking time and money
- The #1 mindset shift to go from side hustle to CEO
- The biggest time-wasters in your business (and how to fix them)
- Why perfectionism is costing you profit
- Real talk on burnout—and how to bounce back
- The must-have tools and tech for streamlined workflows
- How to close clients faster without sounding salesy
- What to automate, delegate, or eliminate immediately
🔥 This episode is for you if:
You’re a solo pro organizer drowning in admin work, running a lean team and hustling too hard, or scaling fast but stuck in the cycle of I don’t have time to fix this!
This isn’t just talk—it’s a free business audit in podcast form.
🛠️ Ready to streamline, scale, and rescue hours you didn’t even know you were losing? Tune in now, and let’s get your business running like a well-labeled pantry.
👇 ALL the tools, tips, and nerdy organizing gadgets mentioned are linked in the description.
🧠 Key Takeaways:* Done is better than perfect. Let go of the control and scale your organizing business with ease. * You’re probably not charging for everything. It’s time to bill for planning, proposals, and backend time. * Stop writing 38-step onboarding emails. Close clients faster with proposal tools and pre-qualifying questions. * Don’t DIY everything. Hire a VA. Use Zapier. Free yourself. * Burnout isn’t your fault. Set non-negotiables and build systems that support your life, not drain it. * Stop sending clients 32 basket links. They don’t care. You do. Let your systems do the talking. * Use the right tools. ClickUp, Dubsado, Loom, Google Chat, ChatGPT, and that sexy little voice memo device (hi, Ploud 👋).
Community matters. Find your people. Learn from those who’ve walked the path—and got systems to prove it.

Key Takeaways from today's Livestream: The Importance of Resilience
-
Resilience is Key to Overcoming Business Challenges:
Understanding resilience is crucial as you navigate the ups and downs of starting and running a professional organizing business. It's about staying strong and persistent, even when faced with setbacks. -
Transform Rejection into Opportunity:
A compelling story shared involved turning a client's initial "no" into a "yes" through persistence and clear communication. This anecdote emphasizes that rejection can often be an invitation to provide more information and potentially secure a client. -
Perseverance Pays Off:
Staying the course is vital. The livestream highlighted the importance of not giving up when encountering roadblocks or when things get tough. Perseverance is what separates successful entrepreneurs from those who falter. -
Embrace the Learning Curve:
Each challenge and setback is a chance to learn and grow. Viewing failures as learning opportunities builds resilience and leads to greater business acumen and personal growth. -
The Role of Support Systems:
Having a robust support system, including coaches, peers, and family, can greatly influence your ability to overcome doubts and continue pushing forward. Community and mentorship were stressed as invaluable resources. -
Educate and Reassure Your Clients:
The importance of educating potential clients about the value of your services was discussed, particularly through the story of addressing a client’s concerns about pricing. This reinforces the need to communicate effectively and transparently with clients. -
Resilience Through Self-Care and Honest Reflection:
Recognizing your own needs and limitations is as important as recognizing those of your business. Self-care and reflection lead to sustained personal and professional resilience. -
Don’t Take Rejections Personally:
Rejections are often less about your shortcomings and more about the client's circumstances or needs. Learning not to take rejections personally can help maintain your focus and motivation. -
Build a Resilient Business Framework:

Understanding Self-Doubt: Self-doubt is a natural part of the entrepreneurial journey. Recognizing and acknowledging this can be the first step towards overcoming it.

Utilize the support of community and mentors. Surrounding yourself with supportive people can significantly alleviate feelings of doubt.
Invest in Yourself: Continuous learning and professional development can boost your confidence and help you provide more value to your clients. Embracing Vulnerability: Sharing personal stories and challenges enriches your connection with your audience.

This episode is for all my Speaker Fam in the UK! I’ve connected with a healthy handful of you over the years and so I wanted to share more about the professional organising industry from your perspective. Since I am clearly about as American as it gets I’ll have my lovely podcast guest today do most of the talking. She is a UK based organiser and life coach who is going to be breaking down the main differences between the UK organising industry and others across the world, the difference in client expectations and preferred services, and lots of tips you can follow if you’d like to become an organiser in the UK. There’s even a separate association you can join there to learn more from other pros and network with them.

It becomes apparent very quickly when you’re starting a professional organizing business that you need the right tools, systems, and software to stay organized and run your business professionally. There is one company that offers everything from a free website, to scheduling, email automation, file organization and storage plus so much more that I could create a separate podcast just to talk about this company. Any guesses who it might be? Google!! So today I’m bringing on Amy Novick of Clutter Care - certified Google Workspace Trainer to help us learn some cool tricks and features available to us through Google for little to no cost.

Today’s episode is one that you all asked for so I am making it happen. My guest today has a pretty incredible story of how she overcame some seriously extreme obstacles with her health, being a single mom, and never having been a business owner before. She punched any fear that she rightfully had in the face and now runs a full time professional organizing business, doing what she loves every day, connecting with her community, and spending time with her son on her terms. If you’re in a similar situation or facing other fear factors when it comes to starting a professional organizing business, this episode of The Speak Organized Podcast is a MUST watch!

Today’s podcast guest is Darlene Tripp of Hello Darlene based out of Ontario Canada. She specializes in life transitions, downsizing for seniors, as well as something called Legacy Planning - which is not only very interesting, but also super important for us to consider.
If you are of retirement age or have parents who are, everyone needs support in organizing and planning for end of life care and preparing for the potential of assisted living, etc. It’s not always something we want to think about but Darlene really works hard to normalize and humanize these topics.
Her services offer folks a way to take care of themselves and their families by putting the essentials in place. This is an important topic that can help us all, whether we are entering that phase of life or helping a family member or client going through these transitions. It never hurts to be armed with resources and understanding to support those clients so I encourage you to stick around!

The term “hoarder” is thrown around a lot and is often misused. If you’re considering having a professional organizing career it’s important to understand what hoarding actually is, what it looks like, and how to handle these cases - should you come across them.
In today’s fascinating podcast episode, I’m joined by hoarding expert Cassie Lapierre of Creative Home Organizer. She is an accomplished circus performer and singer based in Las Vegas who also happens to work with some very interesting organizing clients. I’m not going to spoil any surprises - you’ll have to listen to find out more about her clients as well as what it’s really like to work with hoarders.

As someone who works almost exclusively with ADHD clients, I want to share strategies that I’ve learned that help these wonderful clients find success in getting organized. Traditional organizing methods don’t always cut it and you both can walk away from sessions feeling defeated unless you have the right strategies in place. That is what we’re going to talk about today to make working with ADHD clients more effective.

One of the first podcast episodes I recorded was about goal setting. And in today’s episode, we’re going to take it to a whole new level that you won’t want to miss!
It’s possible that some of you listening or watching today feel stuck in one way or another. Maybe you feel as though you’re just existing, waking up each day letting life happen to you, wondering why others seem to be accomplishing a whole lot while you’re still… stuck in the same place you were last year, maybe 5 years ago, 10 years ago.
I want to help you break that cycle, however big or small your rut is, I want to help you get out of it. It starts with one simple plan. So today, I invite you to plan with me and get intentional for the year in a way that actually creates room for fun and positive transformation (month after month) instead of setting yourself up for failure with a lot of unrealistic, have-baked expectations.

Here’s what we’re discussing in today’s episode 👇
- Declutter their wardrobe. Keep a list handy so you can write down items that need to be replaced during your back to school shopping extravaganza.
- Review their school shopping list. Check their backpacks, desks, and art supplies to see what you already have. Then, grab that list and start to plan your purchases.
- Create and organize bathroom morning routine spaces. Use divides in drawers to keep hygiene and hair products easily accessible and organized.
- Compile a master list of lunch ideas. If you have 20-50 ideas, you’ll be able to rotate through them throughout the year without your kids getting totally burnt out. Checkout and download lists from Pinterest or create your own! Then, plug these lunches into your weekly meal plan so you know what you're packing each morning. Bonus: Many sandwiches can be made ahead of time and put in the freezer to easily grab and go in the morning.
- Create a transition zone near the main entrance of your house. Each person should have a set of hooks and bins or cubbies to store coats, shoes, and backpacks. Start practicing this routine before those morning rushes hit.
- Set up homework stations. Designate a space or grab a portable file box for kids to keep their papers organized and easy to find. Stock their stations with supplies they might need to complete their homework and set out snacks and water.
- Set up an archival file box for art work and special projects/assignments. Use a stacking bin or memorabilia box to contain zipper pouches from each school year. Label the zipper pouches by year and store them chronologically in the bin or box for each child.
Bonus tips: Find ways to celebrate back to school! Grab a couple story books about the first day of school, help your kids choose a fun outfit, and grab a couple small gifts - one for your kids and one for the teachers.
Hope you Enjoy!

As summer winds down, we’re in that limbo phase between soccer camp and the first day of school. This is our chance to savor some unscheduled time with our family before the school year. The flip side is lacking a routine that has our kids saying, “I’m bored” all month long. I aim to not only share some great kid’s activities with you, but also change your mindset surrounding boredom.

I had such high expectations for myself in 2022, particularly in business. Daily life seemed to be more stable and businesses were opening back up so I set my sights on growing in 2022. Well let me tell ya, I was the last one to admit that my expectations were NOT realistic. I planned on launching a few courses and an online membership this year, designing tons of free monthly training, meal planning and prepping, launching this weekly podcast, and being home as much as possible with my girls.
I certainly accomplished a lot of those things but also realized that I needed to adjust my goals and simplify my schedule DRASTICALLY. 👈 Can you relate? I’m certain you can…
Today we’re going to talk about implementing The Summer of Simplicity. I’m challenging myself to simplify life and I’d love for you to join me in this challenge.

Let me ask you a question… and I want you to be honest (since you’re just over there thinking the answer to yourself.) When you think of a professional organizer, how do you picture them? Their home is always put together? They judge their friends every time they get invited over for dinner? They only help wealthy clients with lots of money?
Y’all… I hear these assumptions or some form of them all the time. So I’m here to set the record straight and bust 5 of the most common myths about pro organizers. My goal is to show you the value in hiring a good professional organizer and how that partnership could help you live the lifestyle you truly deserve.
Here are the myths we’re talking about in today’s episode 👇
- Our homes are always perfectly organized
- They will judge me and my home
- They’ll make me get rid of everything
- They’ll make me file fold and color code my whole wardrobe
- They are for famous people with lots of expendable income
- Bonus - I can’t hire one because that means I’m lazy and should be able to do it myself

When you're working on an organizing project, it's not always easy to get your clients to visualize the final product. That's why we do all of these extra things like space mapping, project planning, taking super detailed measurements, providing specific product suggestions and making sure that that vision becomes their reality.
All of these things are essential to running a successful organizing business, but they're also very time consuming and there's no specific tool to help us with any of it. Or is there?
In today's episode of the speak organized podcast, I am pleased to interview professional organizer, Kristy of KLP Organizing based out of Southwest Florida. We talk about everything - from her leaving her corporate job to start her organizing business, what it's like to be a member of NAPO, and how during the pandemic, she was able to use her background in engineering to build a software specifically for professional organizers, to help them with project planning called Sortifi.
Kristy is awesome. She's got a lot of great things to share. So you're definitely going to want to stick around. Let's get into it.

Some folks out there may think I’m crazy, or lying, or even be slightly annoyed by what I’m about to say… I love Mondays… There, I said it - and I’m on a mission to make Mondays marvelous for you too.
I know not everyone follows a traditional weekly schedule, so if your work or school schedule is different, just replace Monday with your weekly reset day. The sentiment here will be the same. Mondays are a gift because every week, we get another chance - a fresh start to prioritize, get ahead of our tasks, and achieve our goals. Yet, many of us prioritize fear and procrastination that leave us struggling to catch up and dreading all that lays before us.
In today’s episode of The Speak Organized Podcast, I’m sharing a few golden nuggets with you about goal setting. I’ll talk you through 7 tips and show you how to turn them into a repeatable strategy that will help you actually get things done. Ready? Let’s go!

In my experience as a professional organizer, the difference between getting organized and being organized long term comes down to three key things - Decluttering, storage solutions, and maintenance systems. We are going to talk about the most popular and the most fun item on that list - storage solutions! I’m talking about the bins and risers and pretties you see on Pinterest and Instagram that make your spaces beautiful and organized. But I’m taking it a step further. I’m going to help you choose storage solutions that are also easy to maintain so you can stay organized for good!

Do you notice how nostalgia becomes more acute as we get older? As years pass we collect a whole lot of memories and a whole lot of stuff that has the responsibility of carrying those memories. Sentimental clutter is a heavy topic and it’s one of the most challenging categories of clutter to conquer.
Whether we like it or not, It’s something that we all have to face as we get older and so I want to help you make the best choices you can to both honor your memories and create space to make new ones. In today’s episode of The Speak Organized Podcast, I’m sharing 5 tips and mindset shifts to help you determine the things that are truly worth holding onto, vs. the things that are holding you back.

In this episode I’m going to share 5 questions that I ask my clients during decluttering sessions to help them bust through the roadblocks that keep them cluttered and overwhelmed. You can ask yourself these questions whenever you have trouble letting go or have no idea what to do with something.
-
When was the last time I used this?
-
Who could benefit from having this right now?
-
If I were to keep this, how exactly would I use it?
-
Can I easily buy this again?
-
If I let this go, will I remember I had it in the first place?
Hope you enjoy!
