This Organized Life: Decluttering Tips for Moms, Entrepreneurs and Professional Organizers

Hi Friends! You guys know how passionate I am about funding research for pediatric cancer and the work I do with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, right? Well, you are in for a treat with this conversation!
As we continue with our series on Men Making a Difference, I am happy to share today’s guest with you–my new friend Matt Coulter. Matt is the president of the BeYOUtiful Foundation, a (501c3) non profit organization dedicated to helping women of all ages who are dealing with the harsh realities of cancer.
Their mission is simple: To provide hope, love and a path to feeling beYOUtiful for girls and women of all ages.
By connecting salons & stylists to local survivors, and providing online education (on everything from cutting, styling, utilizing wigs & dealing with chemo hair), they are here from diagnosis to remission and beyond.
It was such a treat to sit down with Matt and talk about our shared passion of making a difference in the world of families battling cancer.
Since September is Pediatric Cancer awareness month, and October is Breast Cancer awareness month, I could not think of a more appropriate time to shine a spotlight on the incredible philanthropic work Matt and his team are doing.
On this episode we talk about:
● How he got started in the non-profit space
● The power of using your spheres of influence to inspire others
● Walking with families who are battling the unthinkable
It’s a powerful, inspiring and important conversation that I hope leaves you realizing that there’s more to living an ORGANIZED life than just stuff.
P.S. Check out the links below to learn more about BeYOUtiful Foundation and Matt’s other non-profit 143collective.

Hi Friends,
Did you know that you can be part of our show? Each month we take listener questions and answer them on the air. Some folks prefer to remain anonymous (which is totally fine), while others, like today’s guest, want to come on the show and join the conversation!
Joining me today is Precious Burger, from Fairfax, VA. Precious wrote to us with a question about the Enneagram.
“I took an Enneagram assessment a few years ago, but didn’t feel it was completely accurate. I would love to take it again and understand it better- especially to help me grow! Does the enneagram change as you evolve? I have been in a state of transition in my life for the last few years. What are some things to consider when in a period of transition? How can the Enneagram help me build my business and thrive as a professional artist?!”
During the episode,

• I gave her a live typing session, where she uncovered her core Enneagram type
• I explained why she likely mis-typed the first time
• How she can leverage the strengths of her Enneagram type to grow in her business

If you have a question for us, we’d love to hear from you! Simply fill out this brief google form and we'll be in touch! https://forms.gle/Q6utpoVehuA6PSgcA
XOXO-
Laurie
