    Try something new. And take someone with you. | Guest: Melanie Dennis

    This woman is the living definition of being a trailblazer! Without a business background, she started a business in an industry she didn't realize existed, she learned the tools necessary to run a business, she learned skills in trades she never expected...and...she shared all her gained wisdom with others, who some would call her competitors. Our guest, Melanie Dennis, is a founding member of NAPO-Ohio, where we met and benefited from her blazed trails. We hope this episode inspires you to venture into the unknown, professionally or personally, and embracing every opportunity. Thanks for listening and keep blazing that trail, Karen & Janet   Guest Information Melanie Dennis,  Retired!  Host Information Janet Jackson, Organization Solutions, LLC  |  OrganizationSolutionsLLC.com Karen Kruzan, K2 Organizing  |   k2organizing.com

    Frazzled: It happens to all of us | Guest: Andrea Sharb

    It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, we all find ourselves frazzled from time to time. The key is to not stay frazzled. In this conversation with Andrea Sharb, an ADHD coach, we discuss her work with clients and share our own personal strategies for reclaiming our day and focusing - rather than  letting that frazzled feeling consume us. We hope you find some inspiration for the next time you feel a bit frazzled. Karen & Janet

    Opening Up: Three Simple Techniques for Practicing Self-Care. | Guest: Dr. Barbara Dennison

    In this COVID pandemic it is useful to know that we are all afraid and wondering about the best way to carry on. Dr. Dennison shares that, "Giving yourself compassion allows a person to develop a compassionate resilience to be able to increase tolerance to stressful situations. When we practice this self compassion we begin to embody resilience. Only then can we pass the resilience onto our family, community and world at large. So instead of sending shock waves of fear throughout our earth lets send waves of compassion to increase stress tolerance. Celebrate!" We hope you are inspired by Dr. Dennison's three simple techniques for practicing self-care that we can be used now or any time we feel empty. We can assure you that by the time the podcast was over, we were in a different place!   Thanks for listening and keep blazing that trail, Karen & Janet   Guest Information Dr. Barbara Jo Dennison, PhD, LISW-S Dennison & Associates, Inc.

    Getting in the Stuff: What we miss in a life without interaction. | Guest: Melissa Cutcher

    We’re curious about what others are observing and discovering in this strange reality created by COVID-19. We asked Melissa Cutcher of Technology First to join us in an honest, unscripted conversation where we chat about what has changed for the better – and the not-so-better. We learned that we all enjoy “getting in the stuff” of life, but with different approaches. We hope you enjoy what three self-proclaimed introverts have to say about life without interaction and that perhaps it brings you some sense of camaraderie.  Thanks for listening and keep blazing that trail, Janet & Karen   Guest Information Melissa Cutcher, Executive Director Technology First Website:  technologyfirst.org/ Call: 937-229-0054 Resources Mentioned Technology First is an industry-led, industry-driven trade association. Their goal is to develop the Dayton and southwest Ohio region into the best-connected information technology community.

    Meet Karen Kruzan, co-host of Unscripted

    Please meet Unscripted's co-host, Karen Kruzan. The reason Karen and Janet connected in their industry meetings is that it seemed like they were always “in each others heads”. Each seemed to take turns saying what was in their collective brain, which often times was the challenging – questioning – viewpoint to the general conversation. Karen is a licensed therapist, a professional organizer, creator of Stop the Clutter cards, and author of a self-help workbook Rise Above Your Stuff, both available at at www.freshstartgroups.com Listen in to learn more about Karen...
