Summary

What does it mean to be naturally, inherently messy? What's it like to want to be someone who's good at cleaning, but just... isn't? Consider this a sort of confessional episode with Tsh. Dana White calls herself a slob—this is what she writes about, and where she's ultimately found her people. Last fall, she released her book, How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind, and has a gracious, laid-back, enlightening attitude about who she is and how she's learned to make life work. If you feel like you're always wondering how people keep their houses clean—or you live with a messy person—then this episode is for you.

0:04.5	something new I'm doing, a Facebook group. I know, I know, Facebook. We all have mixed feelings
0:10.3	about the Facebook. But if you're like me, groups are the one way Facebook really shines,

0:54.9	able. I hope to see you in there. Make Facebook an encouraging thing in your life instead of the

1:17.7	I have three regular co-hosts, but every now and then I have a special guest.
1:21.9	And that's what this episode is.
1:23.8	I'm talking with someone who has a special slice of wisdom she's gained from containers and why she couldn't defy the laws of physics by keeping a thousand crayons in a bucket that holds 400.
