A Pleasant Solution: Embracing an Organized Life

By: Amelia Pleasant Kennedy
  • Summary

  • Our home is a reflection of our internal experience. When we’re feeling frazzled, busy, and overworked, it shows up all around us as cluttered spaces, overcommitted schedules, and judgment that we’re never doing enough. This podcast aims to tidy up all the clutter that has you spinning in circles. If you’re a woman with a to-do list, running one household (or more!), or caring for others, this podcast is for you. We will go beyond the basics of home organization to talk about why a clutter-free mindset is essential to an aligned and sustainable lifestyle. I’ll invite you to get curious about the standards and expectations women feel pressured to uphold, and together we’ll ditch the idealized destination of domestic perfection for a more comfortable, realistic, and restorative way of living.

    Have you ever felt like your work is never truly done? That after a long day, you come home only to face a second shift of chores and emotional labor that no one seems to acknowledge? You're not alone, and it’s up to us to shift the narrative.


    Dive into this eye-opening episode where Dr. Regina Lark, a TEDx speaker, author, and founder of a seven-figure organizing company, joins me to dissect the cultural narrative that perpetuates the endless cycle of emotional labor and burnout for women.


    With a PhD in women's history, Dr. Lark expertly intertwines her academic background with practical wisdom, offering strategies to identify, mitigate, and redistribute the unseen, unnoticed, and unwaged work that women shoulder at home.


    We discuss the importance of acknowledging the value of this labor and how to unleash women's full potential in the paid workforce. Don't miss these invaluable insights that could change the way you perceive and handle your daily tasks.

Whether you're a friend, past client, silent listener, or a fellow professional, your voice matters.

  • 66 | Defining Your Minimum Standard
    May 1 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Do you find yourself re-washing dishes or re-doing laundry because it wasn't done 'your way?’ It's time to redefine your home life. In this episode, we’ll explore the concept of a 'minimum standard of care'. It's something that many of us live by without even realizing it—a baseline set of expectations for how our living spaces should look, feel, and function.

    I'll guide you through understanding your own standards, how to communicate them, and how to negotiate with your loved ones. No more silent battles over unfolded laundry or the 'right' way to load the dishwasher. Tune in to learn how to create a shared vision of a tidy, functional home.

Whether you're a friend, past client, silent listener, or a fellow professional, your voice matters.
