Summary
Ever wonder what the homes of professional organizers actually look like? In this episode, organizing expert Shira Gill joins us to share a sneak peek into her new book, Organized Living—a behind-the-scenes look at how professional organizers design and maintain their own spaces.
Shira reveals some of her favorite takeaways from the book, including:
- Common organizing mistakes (and how to fix them)

- How to stay organized while living with kids
- Why simplicity matters more than perfection
With warmth, wisdom, and plenty of real-life examples, Shira reminds us that getting organized isn’t about being flawless—it’s about creating a home that truly supports your life.

| 0:00.0 | If you're pregnant postpartum or planning to be, or you've got a friend in that season, listen |
| 0:04.3 | up. There's a lot in motherhood that we can't control, but your nutrition, that's a powerful |
| 0:08.9 | place to start. That's why I've been raving about the company needed. I wish I'd had needed |
| 0:13.8 | when I was in that chapter. Their starter plan is a total game changer, a comprehensive prenatal |
| 0:19.4 | multi, plus the high quality omega-3 designed to meet |
| 0:22.7 | the real nutritional demands of pregnancy and beyond. It's not the bare minimum stuff that most |
| 0:27.3 | prenatals offer. This is optimal evidence-based nourishment that actually supports mom and baby. |
| 0:32.9 | Trusted by over 6,000 women's health practitioners from midwives to obese, they're raising the bar for women's |
| 0:38.6 | wellness. And personally, because I'm out of the prenatal and postpartum, I love their women's |

| 1:12.2 | into your home. But it's also like who you bring into your life, who you spend time with, |
| 1:17.0 | what energy you choose to put out into the world. And so I think that the reason people get so |
| 1:23.2 | freaked out about the word minimalism or minimalist moms and they kind of recoil in fear is that |
| 1:28.9 | there's this idea perpetuated that minimalism is about breaking up with all the things you care about. |
| 1:34.8 | But you and I both know minimalism really is about making your life better and creating more |
