When I signed up for a trip to Japan with Marie Kondo's team from KonMari Media, I figured I would get some good sightseeing, some good food, and get to meet other organizers and have some good pictures for social media. What I didn't expect was to have a truly life-changing experience that has made me look differently at my business and my personal journeys--and my guest Kristin DeCou from Modern Refresh is here to talk with me about our amazing trip across Japan!
 
The episode delves into the lessons learned about mindfulness, slowing down, and the importance of creating a sustainable organizing business. Kristin discusses her organizing journey and the impacts of the trip on her approach to work and life. Emphasis is placed on the value of intentional living, building meaningful routines, and fostering community among professional organizers.
