Welcome to the Organized 365 Podcast. I'm your host, Professional Organizer,

Productivity Expert and Mot speaker Lisa Woodruff.

This podcast will help you embrace progress over perfection and create lasting functional

organizing in your home. I have so much to share with you, so let's get started.

That's what drew me to you because it's so hard first of all to be an entrepreneur but on top of that a female and then kind of going into areas that didn't really exist before you and before me in our independent endeavors.
