About this episode

This episode discusses how organizing systems can alleviate household stress for parents and families.

Parents often enter the new year feeling overwhelmed by clutter, unfinished projects, and all the holiday stuff that came in – not to mention just the mental load of keeping a household running. In this episode of Raising Me, host Adrienne Stein talks with Stephanie Treantos from Lemonaid Solutions about why homes can feel stressful or “heavy,” and how simple organizing systems can reduce tension for the whole family. Treantos explains why most homes rely on memory and effort — and how visual cues and clear routines can help everyone, including kids and partners, maintain order. The episode includes practical ideas for starting small in 2026, even with just a few minutes a day, and encouragement for parents who feel behind. Learn more about your ad choices.
