Confession -

I am not a naturally organized person.

I admire organization. I really do. And I truly love the way it feels when I’m in a very organized and harmonious space.

But I’ve come to realize, some people just have a knack for organizing. Like my husband, for example.

He doesn’t have much free time, but when he does set his mind to an organizing project, it looks fantastic afterwards 🙌

Me on the other hand?

If I try to organize something by myself, there will be lots of time spent looking at it helplessly, wondering where to be even begin 😩

Our surroundings have a big effect on our emotional wellbeing.

In fact, a study at Indiana University found that people with organized homes tend to be healthier overall than those with messy or cluttered homes.

And while generally, my home is pretty organized (thanks hubby!) - my closet definitely was not.

As a flight attendant, I’m constantly traveling.

And I’m frequently traveling back-and-forth between hot and cold places. Thus lots of clothes constantly being unpacked and subbed in with clothes for a different climate.

And when I’m not flying, I’m pretty busy as a mom, a health coach and a creator.

Thus despite my best intentions -

My closet was becoming more and more chaotic.

I knew that my closet had so much potential and yet every time I walked in - I had a sinking feeling.

Even worse, I would spend ridiculous amounts of time trying to find things that I needed because everything was all over the place.

I knew something needed to be done, but the scale of organization needed was getting to be way too much for my very limited organizational talents.

Additionally, I had the bright idea to build a mini filming studio in my closet.

While I like to film my videos in many different places - depending on the theme of the video - I felt that it was important to have a space that I could always turn to if I needed to film something quickly.

Since I live in an apartment building, there is often random noise from outside and my closet actually has the most soundproofing of any room in the house.

Also, since I live in sunny Miami, we have lots and lots of sunlight in our apartment (terrible problem to have, I know 🤣). It was important to me to have a space where I could control the lighting completely, so I could film at any time of day.

I realized that I was in need of some serious help with the state of my closet.

Enter my friend Jerome - professional organizer and space planner extraordinaire!

Jerome lives In New York City but I managed to convince him to fly down to Miami (the fact that It was the the dead of January over there definitely helped to persuade him!) to do this project and video with me.

Here it is! I'm pretty proud of the transformation.

​

While I may not be great at organizing, I am good at maintaining a system.

Now that I have a great system in place (and an awesome recording space!), I feel soooo much more at ease.

And honestly, it's such a load off my mind to be able to find everything so easily!

If you're In need of some organizing inspiration (and Jerome shares tons of amazing tips in this video!)

Or you just love to watch organizing videos (apparently that's a thing?) -

I hope you enjoy watching this transformation! 🙌

Oh and if I could ask a quick favor?
