Once upon a time, I remember hearing Oprah Winfrey say, “Your home should rise up to meet you.”

I muttered under my breath, “Oh yeah? Well my house rises up to SLAP me. How ‘bout that?”

At the time, I was a new mother, a newly(ish)wed, and an “organized, beautiful space” wasn’t yet in my self concept.

But a lot has changed since then.

I’ve become far better at executing a vision of sanity and calm for my home, which has been due in no small part to the work of my guest on today’s show: the Magical Ms. Shira Gill.

Shira Gill is a globally recognized home organizing expert and lifestyle creator with a less-is-more philosophy. Over the past decade, she has helped thousands of people around the world reduce clutter and create more space for what matters.

Shira’s work centers around the intimate relationship between people’s homes and lives and how they inform and inspire each other. She is the author of Minimalista and her newest book Organized Living, and has been featured in Vogue, Dwell, Better Homes & Gardens, House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, Domino, Forbes, Goop, Harper's Bazaar, HGTV, Today, InStyle, Parents, Real Simple, and The New York Times.

Shira and I talk about her gorgeous new book, which features the home spaces of some of the world’s top home organizers. We also talk about practical and REALISTIC ways to bring more sanity, calm, and beauty to our homes.

Shira is a dream to talk with, and our conversation left me feeling inspired and energized. May it do the same for you, my friend.
