Hello!

I love it when a conversation on the podcast validates something I already believe in my bones. This week's guest, Ashley Murphy, co-founder of NEAT Method, did exactly that.

Ashley started as an in-home personal trainer, and one day she noticed something...her client's disorganized kitchen wasn't just an eyesore. It was quietly working against everything they were trying to accomplish together. That observation grew into a company that's now in over 100 markets.

We got into why the kitchen (not the closet, not the garage) tends to hold the most stress in a home, and why she tells people not to buy a single bin or basket until they've done one simple thing first.

This week, try this: Before you organize anything, just walk the space. Open every drawer and cabinet you use daily and notice how far you have to reach or walk to put something away. That alone will tell you where to start.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it.

Warmly, Lisa Morton

The best review I could have recieved 🏡

Hello! On the last afternoon of the Aligned Sanctuary retreat, I planned our closing ceremony for 3pm. I wanted everyone to have plenty of time to catch flights or get on the road well before dark. So we closed the circle, I opened up a little extra free time... and fully expected the women to start packing up. The next time I looked at my watch it was 5:15. Every single one of them was still here. At some point my husband went out and fired up the lawnmower, which I'm fairly certain was his...

A little rest (and a listener favorite)

Hello! The Aligned Sanctuary Retreat was every bit as special as I'd dreamt it would be. I'm still coming down from the excitement (and resting my feet!). What a lovely experience it was to host eight special women in my home, share knowledge with them, and actually see the shifts and a-ha moments happen right in front of me. There's really nothing like watching someone look around a room and suddenly see it differently. And of course, there was plenty of spoiling, too. Good food, good...
