Are you standing in your closet sweating through summer while Instagram tells you it’s sweater weather?
Girl, same.
In this episode of Organizing with Ease, we’re talking all about the seasonal in-between—that awkward transition when your calendar screams “Back to School!” but your home (and your mindset) are still clinging to flip-flops, beach bags, and Amazon boxes you forgot to return.
Whether you’re prepping for Labor Day or still finding sand in your tote bag, this episode will help you create clarity, reclaim your space, and get organized for what’s next—without tossing out summer completely.
This is the FINAL episode of our Simplify August Series, and it’s your permission slip to slow down, reset your space, and align your home with your real life (yes—even if you’re still in linen and sweating through the 305).
