Spark Joy Ep 150 | From KonMari Client to KonMari Consultant: Tidying with Your Family with Kadra Pixton
KonMari Consultant Kadra Pixton joins us to share how she tidied her family of seven with the help of another consultant, which inspired her to become one herself.
Kadra loves helping overwhelmed families transform their homes into peaceful spaces that facilitate connection. She is a Certified KonMari Consultant as well as Mama to 5 young daughters ages 3-10. She is a writer, an artist, and she loves exploring nature near her home in the Pacific Northwest.

Kadra's favorite organizing tip:
Everyone should have a power spot. Create a space that you control and maintain. If you have a space that’s just yours, a small spot that energizes you, it can begin to spread throughout your entire home.
What's sparking the most joy for Kadra:
Simplicity-the pandemic has forced us to KonMari our time and our relationships. We have become more thoughtful about the time we spend and who we spend it with, because we had to. It has helped us think more clearly.
Kadra's parting words of wisdom:
Make the investment in yourself-find an accountability partner OR better yet, consider a life-changing experience with a KonMari consultant.
