Decluttering is more than just cleaning up. It’s organizing your environment and keeping yourself better in control of what you surround yourself with.

Clutter can be associated with laziness but this isn’t always the case. Often, there are deeper reasons behind clutter, and sometimes professional help can help explore and address this.

As a Functional Nutrition and Human Design Health Coach, I find that our environments play a bigger role than just being our surroundings.

In the last episode, I talked about hidden mold, but how about a problem much more visible to us?

Before we get into how to declutter, let’s first ask why we have disorganization and clutter, to begin with?

Joining me to help us answer this question is Carly Adams, a professional organizer, and owner of Tidy Revival.

Episode Highlights:

• What a personal organizer does, Carly’s personal story with clutter, and how she organized her life

• Big mistakes people make when decluttering and Carly’s steps to take instead

• How to stay organized after decluttering

• Practical tips to organize your mail, closet, laundry, storage, and much more!

Environmental impacts on our health are very real. Oftentimes we don’t even consider them as a reason for why we’re feeling sick, especially within our own homes.

Returning to the podcast is my friend, teacher, and mentor, Lara Adler, an Environmental Toxins expert and educator.

Lara joins me today to share her own personal story in dealing with mold.

Silent and unseen, mold can drastically affect your health especially when you have underlying conditions.

Lara goes into detail about her own struggle with mold, sharing:

• The signs and symptoms

• How she came to suspect and confirm mold exposure

• The steps she’s taken to remediate mold

• What’s worked, what hasn’t, and what life is like now

Lara also shares and provides context into what she’s learned through in-depth research.

Do you love your work right now? How is it affecting you physically? Mentally? Emotionally?

Continuing on with the discussion of work-life balance, is there such a thing as “too much” work if you love what you do?

Join me in this solo episode as I explore this topic, as well as hear me discuss:

• How to approach your work if you don’t love what you do?

• The difference reframing your mindset and finding little joys on the job can make

• How I was able to turn things around in my day job and make it enjoyable once again

Work-life balance is an argument of the ages, but is there a universal solution to it? Listen in as I go through the varying definitions of balance, differing perspectives, and an alternative approach to bringing harmony into your daily life.

By the end of the episode, I’ll walk you through different questions to ask yourself, all of which will hopefully lead you to figure out what work-life balance can look like for you.

Episode Highlights:

• Defining and perspectives of balance

• Assessing priorities and boundaries

• Questions to ask to determine what work-life balance can look like for you

This episode is all about my Human Design as a Projector.

You’ll hear me share:

• The foundations of Human Design

• How Human Design is different from other personality frameworks

• How I’ve unknowingly been living my type

• How I’m learning to integrate it into daily life and what that’s been like

In my health journey over the years, I’ve come to learn that the human body is so much more than what manifests physically.

The body has a cohesive flow that when there is disruption, can cause so much more damage to us than we realize.

In this episode, I share how 2020 was a year of self-discovery for me, especially as I learned about and leaned into my Human Design. You’ll hear me discuss:

• How the pandemic gave me the time to reframe and redefine self-care

• How I came to learn about Human Design and the synchronicities it has with other self-healing modalities I’d been using

• How it helps me grow in all aspects of my life

• How I’m incorporating it into my health coaching work

With the Thanksgiving holiday right on the horizon, it’s a good time to take a moment to really reflect on everything that’s been happening in our lives.

Ultimately, we all wish to be better people, and we each have our own interpretation of what that looks like, and our own journey in how to get there.

In this episode, I share how community and meditation have profoundly shaped what that path has looked like for me this year, particularly in the exploration of how to practice non-judgment (spoiler alert: it’s super hard), finding courage in forgiveness, and acceptance, and healing through vulnerability.

You’ll hear me discuss:

• Using meditation for self-healing

• Exploring non-judgment, forgiveness, and acceptance (especially towards ourselves)

• How self-gratitude is a form of self-care
