Time for What Matters

How is clutter, whether in your home or office, making you feel? In this episode, Gayle Goddard (The Clutter Fairy) joins us to dig into why clutter accumulates, how it can affect our mental health, and what we can do to conquer it.About Gayle: Gayle doesn’t possess magical powers for making order out of chaos — just a natural sense of organization, a lot of empathy, and a keen insight into the relationships between people and their “stuff.” She spent more than 20 years organizing financial data as a CPA before turning her skill and passion for conquering clutter into a professional organizing business. As owner of The Clutter Fairy, she offers organizing services and ongoing support to help clients conquer clutter and focus on what they really want to be doing. She is also an enthusiastic public speaker and records a weekly webcast/podcast called “The Clutter Fairy Weekly.” You can find more information and connect with Gayle here:  Website: Clutterfairyhouston.comYouTube:  Cfhou.com/YouTubeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheClutterFairyPodcast: “The Clutter Fairy Weekly” on most podcast platforms Want answers to questions like: “What are three habits to develop right now to be ahead of the game?” and “What can you do if you are discouraged, but trying to restart a decluttering or organizing project?” Get tips on how to manage your digital clutter in addition to physical clutter. More About Gayle: Gayle’s philosophy: “Clutter steals time, energy, material resources, and attention away from the things that are important to you. Achieving clarity in your physical surroundings—clearing away clutter—creates mental clarity.” In her organizing work, Gayle cultivates an atmosphere free of the guilt and shame that often plague chronically cluttered people. She works closely with clients to design action plans grounded in what they want from their spaces, and then provides the tools, techniques, and support to help bring those plans to life. “I believe every client can do more than just clean up the mess. With clutter out of the way, there’s room for more of everything else—more fun, more passion, more joy. There’s room for more life!”  Gayle is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers and past president of its Houston chapter. In fall 2011, she earned her credentials as a Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO). This prestigious certification recognizes Gayle’s organizing knowledge and experience and demonstrates our commitment to serving our clients with the industry’s highest ethical standards and best practices. In 2022, she joined NAPO’s Board of Directors and is currently serving as NAPO’s Treasurer. Listen to this entire, uncut interview, including an exclusive Q&A session by joining our Facebook Group: www.realconnectionsmedia.com/timeforwhatmatters If you haven't already, subscribe to this podcast and make sure that your auto-downloads are turned on on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you like to get your podcasts!
