Todayās episode is one that you all asked for so I am making it happen. My guest today has a pretty incredible story of how she overcame some seriously extreme obstacles with her health, being a single mom, and never having been a business owner before. She punched any fear that she rightfully had in the face and now runs a full time professional organizing business, doing what she loves every day, connecting with her community, and spending time with her son on her terms. If youāre in a similar situation or facing other fear factors when it comes to starting a professional organizing business, this episode of The Speak Organized Podcast is a MUST watch!Ā

Todayās podcast guest is Darlene Tripp of Hello Darlene based out of Ontario Canada. She specializes in life transitions, downsizing for seniors, as well as something called Legacy Planning - which is not only very interesting, but also super important for us to consider.Ā
Ā
If you are of retirement age or have parents who are, everyone needs support in organizing and planning for end of life care and preparing for the potential of assisted living, etc. Itās not always something we want to think about but Darlene really works hard to normalize and humanize these topics.Ā
Ā
Her services offer folks a way to take care of themselves and their families by putting the essentials in place. This is an important topic that can help us all, whether we are entering that phase of life or helping a family member or client going through these transitions. It never hurts to be armed with resources and understanding to support those clients so I encourage you to stick around!

As someone who works almost exclusively with ADHD clients, I want to share strategies that Iāve learned that help these wonderful clients find success in getting organized. Traditional organizing methods donāt always cut it and you both can walk away from sessions feeling defeated unless you have the right strategies in place. That is what weāre going to talk about today to make working with ADHD clients more effective.Ā

One of the first podcast episodes I recorded was about goal setting. And in todayās episode, weāre going to take it to a whole new level that you wonāt want to miss!
Ā
Itās possible that some of you listening or watching today feel stuck in one way or another. Maybe you feel as though youāre just existing, waking up each day letting life happen to you, wondering why others seem to be accomplishing a whole lot while youāre still⦠stuck in the same place you were last year, maybe 5 years ago, 10 years ago.Ā
Ā
I want to help you break that cycle, however big or small your rut is, I want to help you get out of it. It starts with one simple plan. So today, I invite you to plan with me and get intentional for the year in a way that actually creates room for fun and positive transformation (month after month) instead of setting yourself up for failure with a lot of unrealistic, have-baked expectations.
