This week, we welcome Lisa Woodruff, Founder & CEO of Organize 365 and host of the top-rated Organize 365 Podcast with over 24 million downloads. Lisa believes organization is not a personality trait; it's a learnable skill. And yet while 87% of Americans believe organization is learnable, fewer than 18% feel organized. In this powerful Environmental Wellness conversation, Lisa will share insights from her new book, Escaping Quicksand: 10 Steps to Overcome the Overwhelm of Modern Homelife, where she will reveal: • Why modern women feel buried in invisible work • The truth about "adult self-care" (it's NOT bubble baths) • How systems reduce mental clutter • Why "Swiss Cheese Organizing" doesn't work • How the Sunday Basket system pulls you out of overwhelm • Why organizing your personal spaces first changes everything As Lisa says in Escaping Quicksand, "Organization is an outward manifestation of the inner organization of a person." Environmental wellness isn't just about nature - it's about the environment you live in every day. When your home supports you, your mind can breathe. 🌿 If you've ever felt stuck in survival mode, this episode is an invitation to move toward healing and wholeness. 🔗 Website: http://organize365.com/ 📸 Instagram: http://instagram.com/organize365 🎙 Organize 365 Podcast   🎧 Listen, subscribe, and join the conversation: 🌐 https://womenconnectedinwisdom.com 🌐 Connect With Us: 🎙 Podcast Website: https://womenconnectedinwisdompodcast.com/ 📸 IG: @WomenConnectedInWisdom 📘 Facebook Group: Women Connected in Wisdom Community   ✨ Glo from head to toe by joining the Shealo Glo Club at www.shealoglo.com!
