Well, hello there listeners and welcome back. My name is Stephanie Safarian and you're listening to episode 261 of sustainable minimalists, a twice-weekly show about intentional and eco-minimalist living. On today's show we are discussing

all things master bedroom related. We're talking decluttering, organizing, and really prioritizing the space for its function.

Today I'm speaking with Amy Myorga. She is my Instagram friend. She is also a certified conari consultant and a professional organizer.

Amy is here to give us her best decluttering, organizing, living tips for our master bedrooms.

Amy, I am so thrilled to talk to you.

How are you?

Great, how are you? I'm great.

We've been following each other on Instagram for many years now and I'm really thrilled to actually

be able to communicate with you off of social media.

Tell us who you are and what you do,

and I should say that I've been so loving your Instagram content

because we tend to talk about the same things.

So I am Immeiorga.

I go by Minimalista mom on Instagram,

but I am a professional organizer, certified Kunari consultant.

So I help people clear the clutter out of their lives and get their spaces organized.

How did you find yourself interested in professional organizing but specifically the Con-Mari method.

I remember, I have three kids now, but when my oldest had a birthday party,

it was his third birthday party, I came home from the birthday party with a trunk full of toys and I just felt

instantly overwhelmed like I was thinking I do not know where we're going to put these toys. I don't know what to do. It was just bringing me a lot of stress and overwhelm and it was like a jumping off point for me and I remembered that I had recently been in my very good friend's house and she had this very organized storage closet and I commented on it and she had told me about Marie Kondo's book.

And so I decided to just take that as a sign

and I downloaded the book on Audible
