Hey! After some much deserved time off it’s time to welcome you back to The "Peaceful Spaces" Podcast. I’m your host Chelsea, and in today's episode, we'll explore practical organization hacks for key areas of the home, including the drop zones, study spaces, and storage areas. We’re also going to look at effective strategies to streamline your routines, master your schedules, and establish efficient systems that will help you stay organized throughout the back-to-school season.

Doom Boxes. The place where the forgotten things live. You know, those boxes we keep to hide the clutter when unexpected guests come over or when we're too overwhelmed to deal with it. We've all been there, but we're going to learn how to overcome the urge to dump everything in a box and organize our homes effectively without them. Again, welcome back to the Peaceful Spaces podcast. I’m your host Chelsea and today, we're going to talk about something that many of us struggle with - doom boxes.

I’ve said this before, I am a thermostat. I set the peace in the space that I’m in. Whether it’s my home, the grocery store…. Any interaction that I have with someone is an opportunity to bring peace to a space. I have to admit, I’m not always a peacemaker. It’s not in my nature to be constantly peaceful. Things make me angry. Yeah, I said angry. I think the word “frustrated” is kind of a cop out but I won’t get into that today. Interactions can make me sad, worried, anxious… but by actively stepping into the role of a peacemaker, I’m choosing to not run away and hide to keep the peace… 
Welcome to the Peaceful Spaces podcast. I’m your host Chelsea and today we’re going to talk about what is a peacemaker, what is peacemaking, and how that can help create a peaceful space where you are.

Today, we're going to talk about a common phenomenon that most of us experience every week. It’s the Sunday Scaries. That feeling of anxiety and dread that sets in as the weekend comes to an end and the workweek approaches. But, there's good news! With some planning and preparation, you can overcome those Sunday Scaries and create a peaceful week ahead.



Remember, I’m not a mental health professional but like most podcasters, I’ve done due diligence in my research. Therapy, counseling with a licensed professional counselor… things like that with professionals are things that I am a big time advocate for so please… go speak to your doctor if you have deeper questions about anxiety, depression, things that can be clinically diagnosed.

As you’re watching or listening to this through your glass screen I want you to think of digital evangelism as a way to bring peace to a space that usually doesn’t get to be peaceful.  I want you to use this glass screen to reach generations that have never known life without them and give Life through them.
