Pants together, tops together, skirts together, or matching pants and tops together, everything by colour etc.? My sewing room is overwhelmed with fabric, different textures, various colours, plain, printed etc. What is the best way to organize the fabric? How are you trained?

Happy New Year, Rebels! Are you ready to get organized? That may seem like a big step for some, but Kathy's podcast makes it an easy, small step for everyone. ("That's one small step for people, one giant leap for organization!" Or something like that.) Kathy admittedly started on her organizing skills at a young age, and was able to parlay that into a career. I had no idea there was actually a board to determine Certified Professional Organizers. I guess if I showed up and couldn't find my pen that would be an instant fail? Her podcast is a great starting point for people who want to learn why they are disorganized and how to do something about it. It's such a great starting point that she so kindly allowed me to use an episode of her podcast for an upcoming episode of my podcast, The Expert Factory. Keep your eyes and ears tuned for that, but listen to her podcast in the meantime. You know how I love an informational podcast!

Show Notes – Episode 17 Are there times that you feel really stressed out? I bet you do, right? We all do. Perhaps you are stressed because you walk into a home that has clutter and you would rather have a home that is organized? Or you could feel stressed because you can never find your items or are late for appointments. Or you are really busy and can’t keep up with demands that you are facing? You could be a busy professional and work is really demanding and/or a busy mom or dad that is spending a lot of time driving your kids to activities or appointments, or helping them with their homework. Or you could be a busy entrepreneur and believe me when I say, I know how stressful running a busy can be. So you are not alone. So what do you do to help reduce your stress level? One way of reducing stress is by meditating. I have to admit, I do not meditate and don’t know much about meditating, but wanted to learn more about it and that is why I invited meditation educator Jen Johannsen as a guest this week so we could discuss the benefits of meditating and the different types of mediation. I had no idea there were 8 types! We also discuss Colour Calm which is kind of cool! Jen is super sweet and knows her stuff when it comes to meditation. She was first introduced to the benefits of meditation as a school psychologist. So let’s dive right in and get started. About our Guest: Jen Johannsen is a School Psychologist turned Meditation Educator! She used to think meditation was annoying and that sitting and doing “nothing” does not change anything. Not anymore. After 7 years of psychological education, 12 years as a school psychologist, hundreds of hours in certified meditation teacher training, and years of personal meditation trial and error, she has now developed Jen’s School of Calm Course that allows others to decrease their stress and increase their happy with simple, step-by-step non-weird meditation.

Episode 16 Show notes Do you ever open your closet and think “I have nothing to wear!” even though there is no shortage of clothing, shoes and accessories? Or you go to your closet and yikes it is a mess and you don’t know where to find something? It’s easy for us to let our bedroom closet get out of control and filled to the point of bursting. When our closet is unorganized and cluttered we tend to always reach for the same clothes week in and week out, and feel like we never have anything to wear. Did you know that most of us wear the same 20% of our clothing all the time and not wear 80% of our clothing? The exception to the rule is when people have a hard time keeping up with their laundry. In this episode I cover 7 tips that you can follow to help you have a more organized closet. I will be covering clothes, shoes, purses, and more! About Kathy McEwan Kathy McEwan, BA.

Do you ever get behind in your tasks and feel overwhelmed? If so, I am going to share with you how I have been feeling lately, how my tasks have been falling behind, and what I did to help me get more organized. As many of you know, I am the owner of a home organizing business and there are 6 of us on the team, and we are growing. If I listed all my responsibilities, I would be here all day and you would be bored silly. So I won't bore you with all the details, but I can tell you that I am responsible for answering the phone, emails, social media, writing newsletters and blogs, hiring staff, holding staff meetings, scheduling staff, payroll, bookkeeping, speaking with clients, doing speaking and television engagements, doing in home consultations for a whole home organization or packing jobs, and I also went on many of the organizing and packing jobs. Plus so much more. Oh my gosh that is a lot! All these responsibilities were taking a toll on me and I could barely keep up. I was working 7 days a week. And then my father got very ill with cancer. I now had the responsibilities of running the business, and taking my father to his appointments and talking to nurses and doctors. I was struggling to keep everything together and get all my tasks done. In this episode, I discuss what I did to help me get back on track and get organized.

How can you increase leads and sales at your presentations? By asking for them! Having a feedback form that the audience fills out is one of the best ways to generate leads, especially if you don’t feel comfortable making a hard sales pitch in your presentation or if the place you’re speaking at forbids “selling from the stage.” Since I first started talking about the feedback form on this podcast in 2017, I get asked regularly which episode someone can listen to specifically about it. I haven’t had one specific episode - until now. In this episode, I describe what the feedback form is, what’s included on it, and how to use it. And then you’ll hear from six women in the Speaking Your Brand community who have used the feedback form at their presentations and the results they’ve received. Be sure to listen until the end - I have a bonus tip that you won’t want to miss. This episode is part of our Money series, episodes 132-136.

Are you downsizing or know someone who is? On today’s episode we chat with accredited appraiser, Gisele Grenier Miller on downsizing and selling items. There are many different ways to sell items and we discuss the various methods including in-person and online auctions. I ask Gisele important questions when it comes to selling which includes: What are some items that people are trying to sell but are not worth much? What is the one item that sold for more than you thought it would? What are some items that are worth selling? What is estate probate and what all is involved when it comes to estate probates?

Episode # 4 Marie Kondo Method vs Kathy McEwan Method There has been a lot of hype around the new show with Marie Kondo called “Tidying up”, and because of it, I am getting a ton of people asking me what I think of her method of getting organized. In this episode I explain how my method is similar to Marie’s but also so very different. Marie Kondo has 6 basic principles when tidying up. - Commit yourself to tidying up. - Imagine Your Ideal Lifestyle - Finish Discarding - Tidy by category not location. - Follow the right order - Ask yourself if it Sparks Joy I go through each of these basic principles and explain which ones I use and which ones I don’t. I also discuss why her method would work for some of our clients but not all. I also discuss sparking joy and provide other questions you can ask yourself when it comes to making decisions on what to keep and what not to. These additional questions will help you when you are making those important decisions. You won’t want to miss those questions! About Kathy McEwan Kathy McEwan, BA.
