Missing someone after they leave, post-vacation blues, rainy-day doldrums—whatever the trigger, the “blahs” can hit hard (especially when you’re a busy, sleep-deprived mom). In this episode, I share seven quick, low-lift mood boosters that fit right into a working-mom schedule—all straight from my own Lazy-Organizer toolbox.

In this episode you’ll learn:

1. The power of sleeping well—easy tweaks that set you up for a true night of rest.
2. How planning something fun—from a class to a closet refresh—redirects the brain away from rumination.
3. What I call a “delicious” book…and 5 page-turners that snapped me out of a slump.
4. Feel-good viewing: my favorite series & films that lift rather than drain your mood.
5. Nature hacks for every climate (yes—even steamy Miami summers).
6. The feel good-ness of comfort food: the foods that soothe without turning the kitchen into an all-day project.
7. The surprising, organizing-related benefit of inviting people into your home (hint: it’s the ultimate clutter antidote).

Summer may feel lighter, but real life (and soccer practice!) always sneaks back onto the calendar. Today I’m sharing four organizing “fails” from my own house—times I worked way too hard, spent money on the wrong solutions, or simply forgot to think things through. If you’ve ever color-coded clutter, jam-packed a closet, or decanted everything only to abandon the system a week later, this episode is for you.

In this honest, no-shame chat you’ll hear:

• Why “organizing clutter” does not make life easier
• The closet overhaul that ignored dirty laundry—and backfired fast
• How over-categorizing papers turned into a procrastination monster
• My short-lived “Pinterest pantry” (a.k.a. the Covid Decanting Debacle)
• Questions to ask before you buy bins, hangers, or matching labels
• How the Lazy Organizer mindset keeps my home functional without fuss

In this episode of Organizing for Beautiful Living, I’m joined by culinary nutritionist and founder of the Green Palette Kitchen, Heather Carey. Heather shares practical, science-backed advice on how to make healthy eating easier, especially during life transitions like perimenopause and raising a family.

We talk about how to:

• Approach meal planning realistically (even with a full schedule)
• Make peace with food and ditch the diet cycle
• Eat well without making separate meals for your kids
• Stock your pantry with healthy staples
• Create a kitchen setup that supports healthy choices

Heather’s mindset around food is compassionate, practical, and sustainable—something every busy mom needs to hear.
