Summary
My fellow Americans…I bring you this state of the family economy due to what my household is experiencing and the relief I want to offer you! Have you also noticed the increased prices of the following? I asked the Organize 365® community and this is what you all said:
•Groceries •Home Owners (especially in southern and coastal towns)
•Electricity •Property Taxes
•Rent •Healthcare
•Tipping •Streaming Services/Entertainment
•Service Providers
Wait, I've been here before…
In December I realized the hustle was back and I started to feel like something else was "brewing" but hadn't quite put my finger on it. Towards the end of January when I didn't see financial relief at the end of the tunnel, I knew what it was. We are all feeling inflation, and quite honestly, "shrinkflation." I have experienced this 4 times in the past.
•2004-2005 - I remember those 110 doctor appointments, which I have approximated at 3 hours each. The bills that were racked up due to those doctor visits. And all of the invisible work I put into my family as a result of those doctor appointments, from caring for my children to science experiments called dinner.
•2008-2009 - My father was in poor health, and when he passed away, it was my sister and I who were left to take care of his affairs since my parents had divorced a few years prior. I was the executor and on top of kids medical needs, the direct sales company I worked under filing bankruptcy, a recession, and just life! There was a lot of invisible work being accomplished by me of which no one else was aware.
• 2011-2012 - The year I decided that if it was to be, it was up to me! I started Organize 365® in an effort to get my life under control and help others to do the same. I just love the American spirit, immigrant risk takers with passion, and how we can all pursue what we want in the way we want to because you all know traditional is not what you would call my business sense.
• 2020…Need I say more? This was a time of immense fear and uncertainty. We were home so we organized. Now that we are not home as much, it's even more important that we stop, plan, implement. Stop doing 800 thousand million trillion things. Get off the treadmill to nowhere.
Your home is THE business that powers the American economy!
The pandemic pointed out how important small businesses are and today the American home as a business is flexing its muscle. We power America from 123 Main St. And we are really feeling it in the grocery stores. I noticed the ways I have solved this issue in the past are not effective this time around due to my family needs. I stopped (how did I solve this in the past?), planned (took a look at my family and our needs), and now I want to implement it with the Organize 365® community.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Organized 365 Coffee Chat. These coffee chats pop up when I have something fun or important to share with you about what is going on at the organized 365 company. |
| 0:18.0 | Coffee Chats share time sensitive information, so when the coffee has gone cold and the information is no longer relevant, |
| 0:27.2 | these episodes will disappear from your podcast cue, keeping the organized |
| 0:32.0 | 365 podcast feed current and relevant. |
| 0:35.0 | I think our coffee is ready. My fellow Americans, Americans, I bring to you the state of the American household economy, brought to you by household managers which are mostly women. |
| 0:58.6 | Now I could say it's mostly women because I've done the research. |
| 1:01.4 | I know that it is mostly women and as the 31st |
| 1:05.1 | largest female-owned business in Cincinnati I could tell you the majority of |
| 1:09.1 | businesses in Cincinnati are male-owned. There is some things that women have done for a long time |
| 1:15.0 | and there are some things that a men have done for a long time. |
| 1:18.2 | But female household managers do not have a voice in the media |
| 1:22.0 | and so I'm holding my own press conference. I'm going to tell you the |
| 1:25.8 | state of the American family economy that we are the American economy and that what we are experiencing needs to become visible so that we all do not feel so isolated so that ultimately we can solve it. |
| 1:41.0 | So I started to realize that this was something that needed to be addressed that needed to have a voice probably last October. |
| 1:49.0 | But like other household managers and women at the holiday time. |
| 1:53.0 | I kept shoving it down thinking there's really nothing going on, |
| 1:56.2 | Lisa. |
| 1:57.1 | You've been through this before, okay, money's a little tight, |
| 1:59.8 | time is a little tight, |
| 2:01.2 | you've got a lot of things going on, but it's the holidays, it's the fall, it's the fact that the |
| 2:07.2 | hustle is back after these years of not having it because of the pandemic. |
| 2:12.0 | But yet this feeling didn't go away. Like why is |
