    Being Home With a Home Organizing Expert (Megan Golightly of Simplified)

    Today on the show we have Meg Golightly, home organizing expert, and founder of Simplified.   For Meg, home organizing is not just about putting things in their place.   She says, "My interest in home organization has evolved from a lifelong fascination with how our brains work reinforced by my degree in psychology and my ongoing interest in neuroscience.”   She believes we all have reasons as to why we hang on to things. And everybody struggles with clutter. Everybody. However, there’s a cost to clutter.   And that we can’t get to where we want to be until we let go.   And so, Meg does more than just show us how to organize — she goes deeper. There’s one important step she believes we all must do before we organize, and she shares it in this conversation.   She also offers tips on where and how to start in the organizing process, as well as the three questions she has her clients answer before starting the organizing process.   We also talk about how find her favorite organizing tools; why she creates “towns” for her stuff at home; and finally, she shares expert ways to organize a pantry. We all know how much we love seeing a well-organized pantry!   If you’re ready to make space in your home — both literally and figuratively — this conversation for you.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MEGAN GOLIGHTLY                                                                Website: Go-SimplifiedInstagram: @GoSimplifiedSimplified’s Guides: How-To GuidesGoSimplified’s Amazon Store: Shop Now OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE   Being Home With Nate Berkus (Celebrity Interior Designer & HGTV Star)Being Home With Feng Shui for Families (Kristina Hollinger, Feng Shui Expert)Being Home With Clutterbugy’s Organizing Expert (Cass Aarssen)    CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMAN Have questions?

    Being Home With Feng Shui for Families (Kristina Hollinger, Feng Shui Expert)

    Today on the show, host Laurie Gunning Grossman talks with feng shui expert Kristina Hollinger.   Kristina is a feng shui consultant and author — and she’s the host of the podcast Feng Shui With Kristina Hollinger where she’s focused on helping people expand their manifesting toolbox. Kristina says that she is dedicated to helping you design the life you deserve.    We wanted to have Kristina back on the show to talk specifically about feng shui for families — and how we can use feng shui to help foster harmony within the home.   Kristina talks about how there are areas of our home that signify areas of our lives. Almost like a mirror to each other. We talk specifically about the Family area — how to identify it (where it’s located in your home) and how to bolster this area through specific feng shui cures. In other words, if you want to strengthen and support family relationships, there are some simple yet effective things you can do in the form of decor and design. And Kristina shares these ideas with us.   We were also curious about how to use feng shui in other areas of our homes that we don’t have total control over, such as our kids’ rooms. Kristina has some great advice around what to do when maybe we can’t completely control the decor or the clutter in these important areas.   You will also love hearing how — and why — Kristina and her family write their intentions on their walls; ways that we can clear and uplift the energy in our spaces; and what to focus on if you were to do just one thing to create greater harmony in your home.   LEARN MORE ABOUT KRISTINA HOLLINGER                                                                Website: KristinaHollinger.comInstagram: @kristina.hollingerManifest With Kristina: 12 Month Manifesting JourneyPodcast: Feng Shui With Kristina Hollinger OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE Your Work Desk Needs These Feng Shui and Aromatherapy IdeasBeing Home With The AstroTwins and 2023 Astrology (Ophira Edut)Being Home With Feng Shui Expert Amanda Gibby PetersBeing Home With Spirit Daughter Jill Wintersteen  CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMAN Have questions?
