Divorce etc... podcast hosted by the exEXPERTS (T.H. & Jessica)
Do you sometimes wonder how you even married your ex in the first place? None of us get married thinking we'll get divorced, but if it happens, we all wonder how we got here - especially if you married an extremely difficult person. If you're wondering what's wrong with you or how you allowed this to happen because you wouldn't even be friends with them, then take comfort in knowing you are not alone! So many of us find ourselves asking those very same questions, and our guest in this episode will help you dig deep to find answers that can help you move forward in a positive way.

Want to feel more refreshed when you wake up tomorrow? The secret lies in what you do today. That's the conclusion of a sleep study that looked at the neurological reasons of why it's hard to wake up and why some people feel less energetic after the alarm goes off. UC Berkeley researchers teamed up with European counterparts and analyzed sleep data from roughly 800 people. They tracked how much participants exercised, ate and slept. They then monitored the participants' alertness when they woke up. You can read the full study here. The big conclusion? What you do today significantly impacts how you will feel when you get up tomorrow. Raphael Vallat, the lead author of the study, is my guest this week. Raphael will break down three basic things you can focus on to improve how you feel tomorrow morning. In this Dying to Ask: How to figure out how much sleep you really need The best breakfast to eat today to wake up better tomorrow Why workouts impact sleep quality This week's podcast recommendation: Listen here for "This Organized Life"
Hi Friends!Today we are kicking off a new series here at This ORGANIZED Life, called Organizing Room by Room. With January leading the charge for decluttering and getting organized, we thought it would be helpful to bring on a bunch of experts who specialize in certain spaces to talk about some of the struggles they see people facing, and share some solutions to help you in your organizing/decluttering journey.To start us off, I invited one of my friends, and one of your favorites, Organizational Designer Lisa Eckerle, to join me in talking about one of my favorite rooms in the house-The Kitchen.You might remember Lisa from Episode 268, where she shared her story of starting her Professional Organizing business on the weekends while working a full-time job and mothering 2 littles. Once folks got wind of her incredible eye for design and her on-point organizing skills, her business took off and she was able to leave her full time job and run Sort Support, full time. She specializes in ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN, and is currently one of the leading experts in the Indianapolis area. -So for all my Indy listeners-make sure to check her out!As the epicenter of our homes, kitchens do a lot of heavy lifting. From cooking and food storage, to conversation areas, command centers, or a homework hub-a good organization plan is critical for reducing anxiety and feeling in control of your space.Although you don't have to start in this room, for many it's their biggest pain point.If your kitchen is organized (or disorganized), it sets the tone for the rest of the house. During our conversation we talked about: Common pitfalls she sees and hears from her clients who struggle to keep their kitchens organized.Strategies to help make your kitchen more functional and less stressful.Why ditching (infrequently used) single use gadgets is a simple way to free up space. Lisa's signature “C.R.A.P “Method is great for this! Cheap, Repetitive, Aggravating, Past its prime.Breaking your kitchen into “zones” by categories to make finding things easier for the whole family. Some examples include Cutting Drawer, Baking Station, Prep Area, Cook CabinetKitchens are one area in the home where the right products can make a huge difference-(*disclaimer we don't want you buying the wrong products for your space or lifestyle). Lisa shares some of her “go-to” products when it comes to Kitchen organization, including turntables, drawer dividers and using a lid holder to store lids upright (one of my personal faves too!)Make sure to check out the links below to connect with Lisa or to find anything we talked about in this episode.Make sure to tune in next week as we continue our Room by Room Organizing Series with Closets!

Are you a neat freak or are you clutter-blind? Does a sink full of dishes ever bother you or do you just pass by it as if you didn't even see it? You see, there's a connection between people's motivation based on their Enneagram type and how they respond to clutter, whether they are super controlling and averse to clutter, or clutter blind. In this episode, I'm joined by Laurie Palau, the founder of Simply B Organized, and she can help you clear the clutter for good. Laurie is also the host of the top-rated podcast This Organized Life and the author of the book “Hot Mess.” Laurie has been studying the psychology of clutter for several years and has recently been diving into how she can use the knowledge from the Enneagram to help people clear their clutter. Today, we're going to do an overview of all nine Enneagram types, the common pitfalls, and the things that people can do when it comes to clutter and organizing their homes and their lives. Knowing your Enneagram type can be extremely useful when it comes to organizing stuff around your house and your life – whether we're talking about the material/physical clutter, emotional clutter, or calendar clutter. Laurie points out that it's not about labeling people or labeling things, but it's important to be able to provide language where you can articulate and communicate what you do. Because a lot of times, we get frustrated with things since we don't have the language to articulate them. In this episode, you will hear: What is an Enneagram? Looking at the psychology of clutter The Enneagram image and its Christian roots Developing grace and empathy for other people How the Enneagram impacts your life How it allows you to understand other people better An overview of the nine types Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

There is one game that I am sure that all moms have played. That game is the comparison game. You know when you look at another mom and think that she is better than you because she is skinner than you and makes perfect Pinterest-worthy lunches every day for her kids. Or maybe it is subtle, like when you're at work and think that Becky's house must be so much cleaner than yours because her desk is always organized. Those comparison thoughts mess with us all.So what do you do when you are comparing and feel like you don't measure up?First, listen to this episode with my guest Laurie from This ORGANIZED Life.

Getting organized can be especially challenging for neurodiverse people. Sometimes it seems as if our environments fall in either one of two extremes—everything neatly in place or everything in total chaos. It's like a battle of the OCD versus the ADD. But one woman's clutter might be another woman's “I'm okay with this!” We all have a unique pain point when it comes to organization and time management. Can't we slide along the spectrum instead of living in the extremes? How do we create a functional environment for ourselves within all of our stuff—one that reduces stress and overwhelm, and fosters productivity? And can we teach our kids to do the same? This week on the podcast, my guest is a fellow podcaster, author, and clutter expert Laurie Palau. With neurodiversity in her own family, Laurie has figured out a way to meet adults and kids where they are, by giving them strategies to tackle their unique issues with all types of clutter—both tangible and intangible. Clutter is really a symptom of something bigger, Laurie says. If we determine “the why of clutter,” we can take actionable steps to make our lives simpler and easier. Warning: You may have to dive deep into some emotions, like guilt and fear. But I know you can do it. If just the idea of getting organized freaks you out, listen in to our conversation for practical, tactical advice on where to get started. And for ways to communicate with your kids to help them manage their clutter too. (You'll never tell your kid to “go clean your room” the same way again!)

If you listened to my prior episode with Courtney Carver of Be More with Less, you know that I'm an aspiring minimalist. A minimalist is a person that thinks about what they bring into work and life. Instead of having or doing all the things, they purposely remove things that no longer serve them. You might be wondering, how does this impact my work? As it turns out, I think it impacts our work a lot. Whether you have a cluttered desk with paper or a messy email inbox (guilty as charged over here), it can affect your productivity, your mindset, and your career success. So, I had to have Laurie Palau on our show! Laurie is the founder of Simply B Organized (SBO) where she writes, teaches, and works with people of all ages helping them to declutter and work smarter. She also hosts This ORGANIZED Life, a weekly podcast where Laurie chats with awesome guests about life, work, parenting, and the role that organization has in their lives.

Laurie Palau knows a few things about clutter. The Owner of Simply B Organized, podcast host of This Organized Life and Author of Hot Mess: A Practical Guide for Getting Organized shares her theory on clutter - "Clutter isn't limited to what you see on the outside it's about how it makes you feel on the inside." Laurie shares her theory on types of clutter and what they mean: physical clutter, emotional clutter, and calendar clutter. She explains that once you can identify the type of clutter you can start to eliminate it from your life.Kids have issues with clutter, too, and their handling (or lack of handing it) can cause family rift and stress. We talk about what can cause kid clutter and tips on how to solve it. Laurie shares her experience with her own children and we discuss a special episode from her podcast, This Organized Life, where her daughter is the guest (episode 138). Their story might ring a bell or two in your life with your children or grandchildren.Laurie Palau's book: Hot Mess: A Practical Guide to Getting OrganizedLaurie's podcast: This Organized LifeLaurie's website: SimplyBOrganizedClaudine Wolk Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/claudinewolk/Claudine Wolk Blog - https://www.claudinewolk.com/blogThis episode of Stories and Strategies for Women is brought to you by Eyebobs.

Raise your hand if you've ever felt like a hot mess. Okay, we're not going to out you like that. But just know, we've all been there. It can be hard to get organized - and stay organized! Luckily, there's help available to you... starting with this here podcast! We spoke with organization expert Laurie Palau of Simply B Organized about how to overcome those roadblocks to keeping tidy. Laurie has always been an organized woman, and it naturally led to a career where she can help others. But not all clients are the same: We all have different types of clutter and reasons for the never-ending messes. To get to the root cause, Laurie looks at clients through an Enneagram perspective. Similar to the personality-revealing powers of the Meyers-Briggs test or even astrology, the Enneagram can be helpful in understanding what's motivating us or holding us back. Growing from this, we can see people as having three main types of clutter: physical, emotional, or calendar. You may even have some combination thereof. Take the clutter quiz here to find out what type of mess stress you're facing! Laurie uses this information to come up with an organization plan that will work best for you and address your particular hang-ups. She also works with people who face clutter issues due to an event - anything from throwing a party to overcoming the loss of a loved one. Our interview ends with a few more special tips Laurie has about keeping things clean. Time limits and turning cleaning into a fun experience are just some of her tricks. Be sure to listen to the full podcast above. It's full of insight and a few laughs, and you'll be inspired to finally tackle those messes and get organized! Learn more about Laurie Palau at her website, Simply B Organized. She's also the host of the terrific podcast, This Organized Life, and has a book called Hot Mess: A Practical Guide to Getting Organized. You can take her Clutter Quiz here, learn about her coaching here, and find a wealth of resources here.Support the show (https://p2q.link/donate)

This week on BeREAL, Diana and Ednesha are joined by Laurie Palau from the podcast This ORGANIZED Life to discuss emotional clutter and the importance of being organized. Laurie Palau is the author of the book HOT MESS: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO GETTING ORGANIZED, host of the popular weekly podcast, This ORGANIZED Life, and founder of Simply B Organized-a lifestyle company helping people live simply and work smarter. Her advice has been featured in national publications including Real Simple & The New York Times. Laurie speaks on the topics of clutter, parenting, and entrepreneurship. Her CLUTTER CLINIC™ is a nationwide workshop providing strategies to help your team, group, or organization reduce clutter at home or in the workplace. The episode begins with Laurie explaining the multiple forms of clutter that create stress in our lives. She goes into detail about physical clutter, emotional clutter, and calendar clutter. Palau explains how all three can contribute to a feel of unfulfillment and make life seem static. She then explains her five clutter pitfalls: procrastination, indecision, guilt, overwhelm, and time. All five pose a risk to an organized life, and she goes over how to combat each potential obstacle. After a quick break, the episode resumes with Ednesha asking Laurie about the “Pintrest Syndrome.” Laurie discusses how, sure, Pintrest photos look nice and are good sources of inspiration for room design, but they often aren't practical or easy to maintain. Laurie highlights how aesthetic is important in organization, but also, preservation is key. Don't strive for a design that will just add more stress into your life because of its need for constant maintenance. The episode concludes with Ednesha taking a few tips from Laurie and brainstorming how she will use them to design the backyard of her new place for the summer! Thank you so much for your continued support for The BeREAL Podcast. We look forward to each new week, and we hope you do as well. Keep a look out for a new episode next Tuesday!

Clutter takes up space. Whether it is physical, emotional, or mental, clutter takes away the time and place that we would rather have to be more productive. Laurie Palau, the author of the book, Hot Mess: A Practical Guide to Getting Organized, sets us up for a more organized life as she motivates us to become more organized through her advice and tips. As a mother herself raising teenagers who also juggles being the host of the weekly podcast, This Organized Life, and the Founder of Simply B Organized, Laurie is very familiar with the struggles women have of trying to integrate multiple roles in their lives. She shares her own way of achieving work-life integration and keeping her time organized in the midst of it all. On the parenting side, Laurie lets us in on how she makes her kids stay organized – from parental controls to keeping their stuff. — Listen to the podcast here: A Mom's Practical Guide To Getting Organized with Laurie Palau I am going to be bringing you a very special guest, my organizing friend, Laurie Palau. She is going to come on and we're going to talk about everything from organization to raising teenagers. Welcome to the show, Laurie. Thank you so much for having me. Laurie is the author of the book, Hot Mess: A Practical Guide to Getting Organized. She also is the host of the weekly podcast called This Organized Life. She's the Founder of Simply B Organized where she speaks, teaches, and works one-on-one with clients to help them reduce clutter and increased productivity. Laurie's advice has been featured in the New York Times Parenting Section, Family Circle, Home & Table Magazine. She can also be seen sharing tips on 6ABC and WFMZ in addition to other radio and podcast interviews. When she's not organizing the world, Laurie can be found at home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania with her husband, Josh, same as mine, two girls, two dogs. She loves coffee and Tito's Vodka. In her spare time, she is actively involved in St. Baldrick's Foundation, which raises funding for pediatric cancer research. We already knew that we had a lot in common, Laurie. I did not know that you have a husband named Josh like me and loved Tito's like me. Those are two things we did not discuss. I don't know which was the bigger shame. I think it's probably the Tito's. We met through another organizer, Jen Kilbourne I think the first time we talked on the phone and it's just one of those things when you meet somebody and you're like, “Where have you been my whole life?” I want to talk about your book. I want to talk about organizing. I love having other organizers on the show because although we are very similar, hopefully there's another spin on something that the audience can know from you. I think you've been doing organizing for several years. As my day job, I'd be doing it for several years but like so many other people, it's something that you've been doing for a lot longer. I've had Simply B Organized. I started the end of 2008 and made it official. In 2009, a totally different landscape of the industry but I love it. Love the show?
