If you are feeling overwhelmed by clutter, believe it or not, I've been there. It is draining and discouraging and defeating.
Fortunately, I don’t stay in that place for long. I know how to create the order and calm that I crave. And I've helped hundreds of clients break free from the chaos too.
That's why I'm thrilled to invite you to my completely free 30-Day Fresh Start Organizing Challenge, launching Saturday, January 4th, 2025.
Picture walking into each room of your home and feeling instant calm instead of crushing anxiety. Imagine opening any drawer or closet without that sense of dread. This isn't just about making it look good – it's about creating a home that works for you, not against you.
My company slogan is “Life's Better When It's Put Together."
I've seen that in my life and in the lives of my clients, and that's why I want to share my expertise to help you experience it too.
What You'll Get
Throughout this transformative Challenge, you'll receive:
My signature organizing method that helps you customize organizing solutions to your lifestyle (I always say, “There’s no one size fits all for organizing!”
A room-by-room roadmap that breaks down a whole house reset into manageable chunks
Regular motivation-boosting emails to keep you inspired and on track
Professional organizing tips I usually only share with private clients
A supportive approach that focuses on progress, not perfection
Plus, you can add office hours or private coaching to support you along the way!
How Office Hours Work:
I’ll be offering virtual office hours via Zoom at least 8 times during the challenge (more as needed). You can “drop in” and ask your organizing questions in a group setting. Others waiting for their turn will be able to see (I need to see your space to give you personal/custom guidance instead of generalizations!) and hear you, so they’ll have the opportunity to learn from what we discuss too. I’ll take students on screen for 10 minutes at a time.
How Private Coaching Works:
If you’d prefer that no one else sees your space or hears your questions, you can add-on private coaching for one hour. I usually break this up into 15-30 minute sessions so you can get ongoing help as you work, but this can be customized to your needs. Coaching will be via Zoom and, again, you’ll need to show me your space so I can give you personalized guidance. You may purchase additional hours at this Challenge rate during the Challenge, but all hours need to be utilized by February 16th, 2025 (two weeks after the Challenge ends).
Or you can add both Office Hours & Private Coaching to take advantage of both group and individual coaching!
How The Challenge Works:
Dates: January 4th - February 2nd, 2025
On January 4th you’ll receive an email with a PDF guide to the challenge, as well as a link to a quick video to get you started.
You can do the challenge at the pace suggested in the guide, or go at your own pace.
Throughout the 30 days I’ll send emails to provide extra guidance and tips for each area. Plus, a bit of accountability and motivation.
For added support and personalized guidance, add Office Hours or Private Coaching.
Why This Challenge Is Different:
I see a lot of influencers sharing how they organize their own homes, which is great. But it’s usually not a practical method that works for everyone. It’s usually only applicable for people who are already organized and just want to upgrade their containers. If that works for you, awesome! But I know most people need a true organizing process that works for anyone in any situation.
Having worked with countless homes and families as a Professional Organizer, I know that sustainable organization isn't just about pretty containers or perfect labels – it's about creating systems that match your real life. I also know that most “methods” that are popular right now just don’t take you through the full organizing process, or they assume that you are already pretty organized.
This Challenge is different because my method is different. I’ll take you through the most efficient and effective way to organized, even if your house is complete chaos right now.
What do you have to lose?
The challenge is absolutely free and the add-ons are completely optional. The only thing you have to lose is chaos and stress. Jump in, friend.
Here’s to a fresh start in your home this new year!

What if I can’t finish the whole Challenge in 30 days?
No problem. The schedule I include is a jumping off point. What is more important than sticking to the schedule is organizing areas/items in the order I recommend. It will be the most efficient and keep you from getting bogged down or overwhelmed. Work at your own pace in the order I recommend and you’ll do great. I suggest setting a deadline for yourself and schedule backwards from there.
How much time do I need to do the Challenge?
This depends on how much stuff you have and how organized/disorganized it is. If your entire home is organized, you just need to make some tweaks and do a little purging, you can likely finish the challenge in just 2-4 hours a week. But if your home has never been organized, or has gotten really cluttered and out of hand (think piles on floors and counters, every drawer looks like a junk drawer, or closets/cabinets filled to max capacity) then you’re going to need a lot more time. I’ve organized homes that fit this description (3-5 people) in 50-80 hours. I would recommend budgeting 60 hours and scheduling backwards from there. For example, there are 5 weekends in the Challenge. Plan to organize 12 hours each weekend (6 Saturday/6 Sunday) to get through everything. If your family is helping (this is recommended!) you’ll get through the hours faster, but I would still allow the same schedule so that you have extra time if needed.
The more humans in your home, the more time you’ll need to allow to get everything organized.
I’ll give more guidance on scheduling in the PDF Challenge Guide sent on Day 1.
Am I guaranteed time on camera with you during Office Hours?
No. Office Hours is a group coaching setting which means that I will take students on camera for 10 minutes at a time (first come first serve). You get to benefit from the questions I answer whether or not you come on camera. I expect that most people won’t make it to all Office Hours sessions, so it’s likely you’ll be able to get a turn on camera during one of the 9 sessions. However, if you would like guaranteed time with me, sign up for Private Coaching for a full hour of personalized guidance.
Who is this Challenge for?
The overwhelmed parent who can't seem to keep up with household chaos
The professional whose space doesn't support their success
The downsizer ready to let go but unsure where to start
Anyone feeling stuck in clutter and craving a fresh start
Who is this Challenge not for?
As much as I would love to tell you that this is for everyone, there are a couple groups that this Challenge is not meant for.
Anyone who doesn’t have the time to organize. Organizing takes time. And if your space has gotten out of hand, it may take a LOT of time. I am going to teach you how to organize and give you the best way to break it down to make it manageable, but it’s not likely to be successful or efficient if you only have 15 minutes a day (unless you are already hyper organized and just needing a minor tune up). If you fall into this boat, hiring a professional organizer to come in may be a better solution to get it done. I serve the Denver and Boulder area and also travel. Reach out here if you don’t have time to go the DIY route.
Professional (or aspiring/interested) Organizers. It’s just too tempting to copy methods, content, etc and even innocent things like, “I like how she said that. I’m going to use that.” can spiral into plagiarism and unethical territory. Not to mention the comparison game that can creep up. I don’t join challenges/courses/etc offered by other organizers for these reasons and I encourage you not to as well.
