So I really want to continue to help other professional organizers ride that wave by just being strategic and growing their business.
Feeling buried under a mountain of clutter? Laurie Palau, author of 'HOT MESS: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO GETTING ORGANIZED', joins Dr. Marcia Sirota on Ruthless Compassion to share her wisdom on decluttering not just your home, but your mind too. Laurie’s approach goes beyond tidying up physical spaces. She believes that true organization starts from within, addressing emotional clutter like negative self-talk and unresolved issues. By clearing this internal mess, you create a solid foundation for a more organized life.
Laurie dives into the enneagram, a personality system that helps us understand our behaviors and motivations. By knowing your enneagram type, you can pinpoint your clutter pitfalls and develop strategies to tackle them. She identifies five common clutter traps: sentimental clutter, guilt clutter, clutter blindness, procrastination clutter, and future clutter. Recognizing these can help you break free from their grip. Personality traits play a big role in how we handle clutter.
Perfectionists might struggle to let go of items, while people-pleasers may keep things out of obligation. Laurie offers practical tips to overcome these challenges, like starting small, setting realistic goals, and taking breaks when needed. She emphasizes the importance of self-compassion throughout the process. Laurie also touches on the emotional side of decluttering, acknowledging that shame and guilt often surface. She encourages listeners to be gentle with themselves and view decluttering as a journey rather than a destination.
Additionally, Laurie shares her own story of turning her passion for organizing into a successful career, inspiring others to follow their own passions. This episode is packed with actionable advice and heartfelt encouragement. Whether you're looking to declutter your physical space, emotional space, or both, Laurie’s insights will help you create room for what truly matters.
