What season of life are you in?


Hey Reader,

What season are you in right now?

I don’t mean spring or summer (or “pollen with a side of 40-degree nights,” as we call it here in the Mid-Atlantic).

I mean your season of life.

Are you…

  • Empty nesting and craving simplicity?
  • Stepping on Legos and buried under toys?
  • Or somewhere in between—juggling aging parents and growing kids?

That last one? That’s me right now.

They call it the Sandwich Generation, and it’s real.

My husband and I are helping care for four aging parents. We love them deeply—but it’s a lot.

What helps? We ordered our life over the last 20 years to make room for this.

  • Our home is clutter-free and easy to maintain.
  • Our work is flexible.
  • And we’ve been intentional with spending and space.

This isn’t luck. It’s the result of choosing less—on purpose.

And it’s exactly what I help my clients create.
More margin. Less overwhelm. So when life shifts (and it always does), they have the space and time to show up fully.

So tell me, Reader—what season are you in?

What’s working?
What’s not?

Hey Reader, I love the beauty and simplicity of an empty space. The rooms in my home have margin—on purpose. That breathing room helps them stay clutter-free and organized. When I coach clients, we talk a lot about creating margin. Not just in our schedules, but in our homes. I use a simple three-step method to help clients declutter any space: Remove.Reduce.Return. Can you think of a space in your home that needs more margin?One that would be easier to use (and easier to organize) with a...

Hey Reader, It was a work-hard/play-hard week at the beach for me. My coaching clients and I have been diving into everything from using up inventory to organizing foyers and closets to letting go of sentimental items and even calendar organization. I’m so grateful for everyone I get to serve as their coach. Those conversations stay with me and allow me to help more people every day. Congrats to my dad ⛳️ My dad shot a hole-in-one on 4th of July. I'm so happy for him. And I had to share it...

Hey Reader, Did you catch the podcast episode last week? Deanna is such a thoughtful interviewer. I loved our conversation. Several people told me it gave them the clarity and motivation they needed to begin decluttering. 🙌🏻 That’s why I’m reaching out with a small favor. Would you forward this email to someone who might need that same boost? Maybe they’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Or they feel frustrated because no one else in the house seems bothered by the clutter. 😡...
