In this first-ever co-hosted episode, I team up with another brilliant organizing coach to nerd out about mindset, identity, and systems. We realized we share a foundational belief: it all starts with how you think about yourself.

Do you believe you’re disorganized? That identity could be the very thing keeping you stuck.

We get into all of it, from alter egos and decluttering shame to the reason containers aren’t the solution (yes, even the cute ones from Target). Plus, we each share our own organizing methods: mine is called SPACE, and hers involves the Four P’s and the Amber method.

We also talk about why it feels impossible to stay organized, what to do when your brain rejects “I’m extremely organized", and the tiny tweak that makes a HUGE difference in your environment.

What you’ll learn:

  • How identity and mindset impact your organizing success

  • The SPACE Method: A 5-step system to create and maintain order

  • The Four P’s Framework: Prep, Purge, Process, Protect

  • The Amber Method for mindfulness while decluttering

  • Tips for using alter egos to break through mental clutter

  • The power of linking maintenance to routines you already do

This is a mix of Amber and me, all wrapped up in one conversation.
