Hi Everyone,
September always feels like a second January to me. Kids back in school after a long break, routines slowly return. It feels like a restart that brings some sense of optimism.
Recent celebration worth noting
This month begins with a little bit of looking back. I was honored to be featured in Vesna Pavlovic's Women Who Chose publication. It’s a series about women who built careers on their own terms. It’s one of the most personal posts I’ve shared publicly, and I’m grateful Vesna held the conversation with such care. You can read the full feature here.
I also had the joy of collaborating with two of my favorite Substack moms, Papatya🌼 and Dr. Amy of The (WHOLE) CHILD on a piece about how spatial order soothes young minds.
And to top it off, I contributed to a 2-part post with Lara, an Early Childhood Educator, on engaging children in caring for the home.
These are the exact conversations I wished I had when my boys were young. If you haven’t had a chance, save this post so you can return to them when you have a moment.
A challenge worth noting
Ending something that’s not working isn’t easy, but when you have clarity on the reasons why, the silver lining appears and you feel more settled with the choice.
In the last few months, I’ve hosted several co-working sessions. While working alongside others was valuable, I felt torn that it wasn’t moving the needle for families when it comes to learning skills they were never taught.
That’s why I’ve decided it’s time to close the co-working sessions, to focus on coaching the whole family. I know the result will be more families being able to multiply the impact of their efforts towards the same goal.
A commitment worth noting
As mentioned above, I’m shifting my focus to supporting families ready to end their frustrations with clutter, once and for all.
It’s the work that turns nagging your children to seeing them light up when they’ve completed a task on their own. It’s the family knowing where things go because they were part of helping to create the system.
I’m committed to guiding the type of transformation that not only happens in your home, but your children’s future household, because long-term solutions build habits and family values.
I’m opening 2 spots this month to do just that.
I’d like to invite you to a 15-minute call, it’d be great if your partner can join as well, so I can learn more about how clutter is affecting your day to day. If we aren’t the right fit, I’ll point you in the right direction. If we are, I’ll share the next steps to create a plan to get your family closer to feeling relief.
One final note
Most people recognize the problem with clutter, but we rarely stop to calculate what we’re actually paying for it. Every square foot of unusable space is space you’re paying rent or mortgage on.
That’s why I’ve created a simple calculator to help you see that number for yourself. Click the button below to find out.

I really love the thought of September as a second January and loved the article with Vesna. And I admire your clarity in recognizing what wasn’t moving the needle and having the courage to shift your focus. Wishing you so much success with this new chapter and the families you’ll be helping! ❤️
