Something different is happening here today. I'm Jennifer Ford Barry, and welcome back to the Make Room Show. Usually, we talk about lighter stuff, but today, I'm bringing you a message that's been weighing heavily on my heart. It's about something serious happening right here in New York State. It's the NYS prison strike, and it's time the nation knew what's really going on. To help me unpack this, I've invited Bernadette Singer, a corrections officer's wife. Together, we want to clear up some misunderstandings, share the facts, and get this story the attention it deserves.-------------------------If you are ready to clear the clutter and organize your life, check out Jennifer's website for tons of resources including her monthly membership: The Created Order Neighborhood.

Jennifer Ford Berry discusses the chaos of the holiday season, misconceptions about perfection in homes, and the importance of intentional living.Highlights🏡 Everyone believes others have perfect homes, but perfection doesn’t exist.✨ More stuff doesn’t equal more happiness; it complicates life.🧹 Organization requires consistent effort; there’s no magic fix.🎁 Thoughtful gift-giving is better than cluttering others’ spaces.🗑️ Purging items you no longer use creates physical and mental space.🤝 Asking for help is crucial for personal well-being and family dynamics.📅 Plan for your desired future now, rather than waiting for “someday.”Key Insights🧐 Perception vs. Reality: Many women feel pressured to maintain a perfect home, leading to feelings of inadequacy. Recognizing that perfection doesn’t exist can relieve stress and promote acceptance.📦 The Burden of Excess: Accumulating items often complicates life rather than enhances it. Streamlining possessions can lead to greater clarity and ease in daily living.🛠️ Effort Over Expectation: Achieving organization and cleanliness takes work. Acknowledging this can shift the mindset from disappointment to empowerment, fostering a proactive approach to home management.🎉 Intentional Gifting: Gifting with thoughtfulness rather than obligation can enhance relationships and reduce waste. Experiences often create lasting memories over material possessions.🧘 Mental Clarity Through Purging: Letting go of unused items not only frees up physical space but also contributes to mental well-being. It allows for a fresh perspective on life and priorities.🤗 The Importance of Support: Women often hesitate to ask for help, leading to resentment and burnout. Open communication about needs can foster healthier family dynamics and personal satisfaction.🔮 Future Planning: Taking action now to shape your desired future helps avoid stagnation and regret. Setting intentions can create a roadmap for personal growth and fulfillment.-------------------------If you are ready to clear the clutter and organize your life, check out Jennifer's website for tons of resources including her monthly membership: The Created Order Neighborhood.

In this lively and insightful episode of The Make Room Show, Jennifer Ford Berry is joined by fashion expert Shari Braendel, author of "Help Me Jesus, I Have Nothing to Wear" and founder of the "27 Hanger Closet" system. Together, they share expert tips on simplifying your wardrobe, finding clothes that make you feel confident, and why it’s essential to let go of clothing items that no longer serve you. Shari’s unique approach of limiting your wardrobe to 27 pieces offers a fresh take on capsule wardrobes, making room for the items you truly love while decluttering the rest. They also dive into color analysis, how to pick the best handbag, and Shari’s "game-changing" tip for jeans shopping.Key Learning Points:• 27 Hanger Closet: Simplify your wardrobe by curating 27 key pieces—6 bottoms, 12 tops, 4 layering pieces, and 3 special items—allowing easier outfit planning and less clutter.• Color Analysis: Wearing the right colors makes a significant impact on how you look and feel. Avoid black as it can make you look tired and older. Instead, pick 1-2 neutrals and a pop color that suits you.• Handbag Hack: Match your handbag color to your hair color for a versatile, go-to bag that coordinates with everything.• Seasonal Closet Swaps: Even in warmer climates like Florida, it’s beneficial to rotate your wardrobe seasonally to refresh your look and keep things current.• Cost Per Wear: Invest in high-quality pieces you’ll wear frequently rather than splurging on items for special occasions.• Jeans Shopping Hack: Measure the rise of your favorite jeans to find the perfect fit every time you shop.• Letting Go of Guilt: Release clothing that doesn’t fit, feel good, or serve your current style, even if it cost you a lot. Donate to shelters where your items can benefit others.• Trend Awareness: Staying in style doesn’t mean constantly buying new clothes; it’s about curating what works best for your body and lifestyle.• Seasonal Planning: Be strategic about shopping; know what you need and build your wardrobe intentionally.• The Emotional Closet: Clothes hold memories, but learning to detach and move on can bring freedom and space for new possibilities.--Free Denim Guide!: https://www.stylebycolor.com/denimShari Braendel, founder of Style by Color, inspires women to new levels of confidence through her digital products, style programs, and YouTube channel.As the author of *Help Me, Jesus, I Have Nothing to Wear*, and creator of the Color Code System and Closet Outfit Planner, Shari has been featured on ABC News, Focus on the Family, and More To Life Christian TV Network.She’s spoken at over 500 churches and women's conferences worldwide, drawing from her many years in the color analysis industry to challenge women's beliefs about themselves.Since 2010, Shari has certified over 400 women through the Style by Color Academy, providing comprehensive training for future Color Analysis specialists and Christian Image Consultants.She also founded the Women’s Matter Initiative, offering Color Confidence Workshops to nonprofits serving women coming out of distress and abuse.
