Episode notes

In this episode we’re joined by Ann Martin and Emily Schum Terry of lifestyle organization service “Get Organized”. Ann and Emily work with clients to evaluate, simplify and develop sustainable organizing solutions for their lives and homes. Whether it be preparing a home for the market, developing repeatable and accessible organizing systems within a home or going room by room sorting, decluttering and purging, “Get Organized” helps people through the process of letting go. They join Ashley to talk about their journey into the world of home organizing, Ann coming from a background in merchandising and psychology and Emily in forensic investigations. They share a bit about what their “decluttering” process looks like, why decluttering can be such an emotional process and how hiring a professional can help alleviate the stress. They discuss ways of building effective organizing solutions that don’t hurt your wallet, trends in the organizing space, how to strike a balance between collecting fewer better things and letting go of everything else. Ann and Emily also cover why organizing and purging a home, whether it be a single room or the entire house, is a unique, emotional and ultimately freeing process.
