Hello! I’m so glad you’re here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me introduce myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a degree in Education and have taught from the elementary through the college level, including a year teaching in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve got three daughters. My oldest is in college at BYU-Idaho, my second is a junior in high school, and my youngest is in 7th grade. My husband and I have been married for 20 years. He works in the telecom industry doing technical things I don’t understand \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have an extremely effective psychology-based home organizing program called “The HOME Girl Organizing Experience” that helps you get your home in order in 90 days or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s enough of that \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to tell you how what I have here can help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been around some people who I love dearly who just confuse the heck out of me. They seem to be so intelligent, yet lack the power to change their own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re mired in negativity, unhealthy thought patterns, and repeated failures. It’s so frustrating to watch the same patterns repeat in their lives, over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh wait. I’m talking about myself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me tell you, I’ve read tons and tons of self-help books over the past 25 years. But I noticed that I was still stuck in the same negative thought patterns and cycles of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past few years, I really started digging into how the brain worked, and what was needed to make lasting change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned two really important things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Environment matters. This includes the home you live in, the people you surround yourself with, the media you consume, and what you put into your body.<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Your subconscious rules your life 90-95% of the time. So if you want to change your life, you’ve got to change your subconscious programming.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    On this website, it’s my aim to help you optimize your environment, and to optimize your brain by helping you install a new subconscious program that will help you actually reach the goals you set for yourself and become the person you’ve always wanted to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So look around, sign up to get your free chapter from my upcoming book, A House of Order<\/a><\/em>, and join the Environmental<\/em> Club<\/a><\/strong> to get small, actionable items you can do each week that will slowly but surely, change your home, your brain, and your life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
