What happens when four professional organizers (who are also actual IRL dear friends) finally manage to get on the same schedule… before 2031? 😅
In this episode, Melissa brings on her Minnesota organizing crew—Missi, Cori, and Kielyn—for the start of a longer, multi-part conversation packed with business talk, mindset shifts, team leadership, and the kind of honesty you only get from friends who’ve seen each other’s mail piles.
You’ll hear about:
-
Why community is non-negotiable as a professional organizer (and how to find “your people”)
-
Type A vs. Type B energy… and why “organizing isn’t an emergency”
-
What actually keeps you excited about this work when you’ve been doing it for a while
-
The “woo” side of goal-setting (manifesting, affirmations) and the practical brain science behind it
-
How to lead a team without doing all the things (and why letting go of control is the hardest part)
-
Building a business by hiring people who are smarter/better than you at certain things (yes please)
Plus: a New Heights-style intro, professional athlete clients, ADHD-friendly systems, and one organizer whose inbox is so empty it’s basically offensive. 😂
Stay tuned: This is part one—more episodes with the full conversation are coming next.
