Kali Patrick - Helping stressed-out, busy professionals learn to sleep better. Our lives have become more stressed recently. Many people feel they are anxious about the future, family, employment. This can affect our sleep. Good sleep is very important to good health. When we sleep well, we recharge our adrenals, detox, and repair damage from injuries and daily wear and tear. Knowing what condition your adrenals are in is very helpful, and the proper support nutritionally can help them calm down if to revved up or help them regenerate if they are burnt out. But wait, there is more! If our daily schedule, lifestyle is contributing to the high stress/anxiety, we need to learn tools to help us deal with these stressors or ways to remove them. Supplementation is very important, but addressing the why the adrenals/sleep was pushed out of balance is key to healing.

Maureen Nuccitelli has come a long way in the world of organizing and consulting. In fact, in her youth she was pretty disorganized. What changed? What happened? Well for one thing, it’s a “pain in the arse” being disorganized. Being disorganized sucks up way too much time, effort and money. Sound familiar? She’d had enough. So she made a concerted effort to learn all there was to know about organizing, de-cluttering, efficiency and productivity. This was her new life’s mission. And guess what? She started to learn new habits, new ways and new tools—all in the pursuit of knowing everything about organizing. Then as the years went by she started to help others with their organizing challenges. She taught them how to be more organized. Woa! You mean you can learn how to be organized? You bet your life, Sista and Brotha! Maureen helped clients, friends and family; she taught classes; wrote newsletters and articles; and was quoted on blogs and websites. She lived and breathed all things related to organizing. It became her passion. Then one day, a friend referred to her as “The Organizing Diva”. Given her sassy attitude about life, Maureen accepted the title with relish and a wink. “Let’s have some fun” she thought. But wait a minute, could learning to be organized be fun and and not so stressful—well at least some of the time? Of course it can! How about a little humor when life gets crazy? How about the fact that we’re all in this together and we’re here to support each other? How about while we’re laughing, we roll up our sleeves and learn how to do things differently?
