It's more about our over-reliance on them as magic wands that will fix everything. But when you use them right, they really can make managing your life and home easier. Today, we're going to talk about the dos and don'ts of usin...

Ok, so the word is real, but the idea that you need motivation to accomplish anything is a myth and a lie that quite literally keeps us unmotivated.

They came from momentum. Momentum will finish more projects than motivation...

I am, my husband is, my kids are. We all do our part to make our home b...

Change is hard. We all know that. It feels easier to just stay the same, even if the same old same old is unsupportive of the goals we have.

The truth is, you're allowed to change your mind even if other people don't agree, even if they have opinions,...

For 8 years, my husband and I (with 2 kids eventually) lived in a tiny 900 square foot apartment. Having very limited space and only one closet made staying organized challenging.

In today's episode, I'm talking about how to organize your smaller...

In this episode, I'll walk you through what they are and how to start implementing them now.
