Ep.119 Finding Peace Through Organization: Creating a Functional Home and Mental Well-being with Lisa Woodruff

Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

We speak to entrepreneur Lisa Woodruff, CEO of Organize 365, who shares her inspiring journey from teacher and stay-at-home mom to organizational expert. Learn how she conquered challenges and built a thriving business dedicated to helping people rediscover the joy in a well-organized home.
Our discussion dives deep into the mental toll disorganization can take on your life. Lisa and I explore the pressures of living up to society's picture-perfect home ideals, often leading to feelings of inadequacy and isolation. We emphasize the importance of functional organization over aesthetics and introduce actionable strategies to reduce anxiety and cognitive load. Learn about the transformative power of structures like the Friday Workbox and Sunday Basket that make invisible tasks visible and manageable, enhancing productivity and freeing up time for self-care and personal activities.
We don't stop there. From tackling the "Sunday Scaries" to balancing professional and domestic responsibilities, this episode is packed with insights to help you lead a more organized and fulfilling life. Discover how evolving roles within the family and embracing organizational systems can serve as powerful forms of self-care. We also delve into the importance of maintaining a serene, clutter-free environment for mental well-being. Tune in for practical tips that will inspire you to create a balanced, peaceful home and life.
