    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.
