Description

If you’ve ever felt buried under to-do lists, school planning, paperwork, and the constant pressure to do it all — today’s episode is your breath of fresh air. 🌿


In this deeply personal and transformative conversation, I sit down with Lisa Woodruff, the brilliant founder and CEO of Organize 365, and the woman who completely changed the way I structure my life, home, and business.


Lisa is a former teacher turned successful entrepreneur, bestselling author of The Paper SolutionOrganization is a Learnable Skill, and How ADHD Affects Home Organization. Through her podcast and training programs, she has guided thousands of women, educators, and business owners to take control of their homes and work through simple, repeatable systems that bring peace and purpose.


In this episode, we talk about:




  • 📚 How Lisa’s journey from classroom teacher to CEO can inspire any educator or microschool founder




  • 🧺 Why organization isn’t about perfection — it’s about freedom, confidence, and control




  • 🗂 How the Sunday Basket® System helped me personally transform my school, home, and mental space




  • ⏰ Practical strategies for teachers and parents to organize paper, time, and routines




  • 💡 The connection between organization and leadership — and how systems can multiply your impact




  • ❤️ Why learning to manage your time and environment is actually an act of self-care and calling




I share openly about how Lisa’s work gave me clarity during one of the busiest seasons of my life — running Lighthouse Learning Microschool, leading staff, and raising a family. Implementing her methods didn’t just help me tidy my spaces — it gave me margin to lead with peace, create with focus, and live more intentionally.


This episode is for you if you’re:

✨ A teacher dreaming of launching a microschool or homeschool hybrid

✨ A mom or educator juggling multiple responsibilities and craving simplicity

✨ A visionary who knows you’re called to lead — but need systems to sustain your success
