My guest expert today is Karah Gonstead, and she loves creating an inspired life for entrepreneurship or for mothers. What we're talking about in this chat is how to declutter the daily boring tasks and the stress of entrepreneurship and motherhood. So all your entrepreneurs, all your mums out there, you know what we're talking about. And what she talks about is so so good because her and I very much connected that she likes to think about what our strengths are, to figure out what brings us joy and what we're naturally good at. And that's the same thing I talk about when we're decluttering. Instead of doing the shoulds, and looking at all that social media, what we think we should be doing, let's do what works for us. Right? Let's just ignore what everything else is happening on social media. Let's take a look at us. And then as Karah says, what really truly makes us happy. So asking for help. And that's a big thing. So we talk about outsourcing and asking for help can be so difficult for a lot of us. So Kara gives us some really good steps for that. And then what she talks about is doing the things that we love and what really fills our cup. Right? I love that. And the really neat thing she talks about is that it allows us to shine and show up the best version of ourselves. So the way she put it was declutter and shine so so so good. This episode is going to help you with some steps on how to do that and some strategies. And then recognizing the pressure we put on ourselves and how do we get that spark moment and how do we make those decisions between doing those boring daily tasks. Karah sharesher experience, which is really interesting about doing the dishes at nighttime, which was quite I really love that part because I talk about it's great to do the dishes at the end of the night, but she has this different spin on it. We chat about how we have to make the decision and figure out what we're comfortable with, what can we let go, and what we feel is really beneficial for us because she talks about how she was getting resentful of doing the evening tasks, which no longer created the space and structure for her that she felt good about. So really, really interesting and, you know, making that choice of making, you know, she needs a window of alone time. Like, all of us. And we kind of have a joke about so what happens when she didn't do the dishes. Well, the house didn't fall down, so that's good. But how do you feel about it and what works for us? So focus on what works for us with that feel fulfilled in really healthy ways and give ourselves all the grace in the world. Really love this episode. I know you're going to get so much out of it.

I am so excited to have one of my clients, Tamara, in this episode. It’s amazing to witness the huge, huge progress that she makes in reclaiming her space. And today she will share with us her experience with the program and how she applied it to her life! The right fit for you In finding a program, it’s important to find one that is flexible. One that caters to YOU, and doesn’t just give a one-size-fits-all advice. Because you wouldn’t want to waste time and money on a guide that doesn’t work for you. That is why Tamara went for the Space Reclaimers Program. This course caters to your own unique strengths and weaknesses, gives you a clear direction, and is very simple. It’s easy to follow through! Louise assesses your situation and personality, then helps you build habits that stay with you even after you finish the course. Everyone’s different, so it’s important to have a coach who doesn’t see everyone as the same. Some stuff in the program: Finding the reason why you collect clutter. Because when you are able to pinpoint the reason why you tend to hold on and acquire new stuff, you would be able to address your problem. Are you sentimental about your things? Find therapy through retail shopping? so on. Getting your kids on board. Impart your knowledge to them bit by bit, so they adopt the decluttering and organizing habit. Thus, maintaining an orderly home is easier for you! Dealing with your kids’ stuff. Some kids love clutter. And sometimes, it’s necessary that you put a limit on how much stuff you provide for your kids. If your kids have a place to put their toys/stuff, then go ahead and provide more for them. But if they don’t have a place to put new stuff, then you either replace existing ones or not buy a new one at all. “Model it for your kids to have a space designated for their stuff.”  -Tamara Remillard If you would like to join Reclaim Your Space Program.

The wonders of meal planning It may sound overdramatic, but meal planning and prepping can literally change your life.  It is especially recommended for someone with anxiety or are experiencing “Sunday scaries” or having anxieties on Sunday. Because it helps feel more organized or ‘in control’ of what’s coming ahead even if it’s just your meals. (See also: how to address brain clutter.) But beyond that, meal planning has so many benefits.  For one, it could help you maintain the diet you prefer to live with depending on your preferred lifestyle.  Second, meal planning helps you hone one of your important life’s skills: cooking.  When you have your ingredients ready and you also avoid take outs, you get to learn and experiment on your cooking! Third, you could save a lot of money from unnecessary food orders or impulsive purchases. You could keep track and stick to your food budget too!

Essential oils are filled with beneficial ingredients that not only work but are also safe to use every day. They can be used as an alternative to aromatherapy and for improving fragrance in the home.

Some of the most popular essential oils include lavender, lemon, peppermint, cedarwood, and rosemary. Today’s episode is graced with two wonderful ladies who are professionals in aromatherapy.
