Ever felt like your clutter was more than just stuff—it was a story about who you are?

That’s exactly what Kerstin Sheppard realized after joining Organized Life Academy. In this heart-opening interview, Kerstin shares how her journey from childhood beliefs of being “messy” to becoming an organized CEO transformed more than just her home—it shifted her identity.

She’s a content strategist from Melbourne who used to feel stuck in her clutter, even though she could plan complex vacations like a pro. You’ll love hearing how her mindset, motivation, and home radically changed when she stopped believing she didn’t deserve to be organized.

Get ready for insight after insight, relatable truths, and the kind of shift that just might change the way you see your own clutter...and your own identity.

We chat about:

• The belief that kept her stuck (and how she finally questioned it)

• How grief triggered her desire to declutter—and leave a legacy

• Why starting small (literally half a shelf!) is her new go-to strategy

• The moment she let go of her corporate wardrobe (and identity)

• How organizing is helping her build her new digital product

What you’ll learn:

• Why your identity might be sabotaging your organizing efforts

• How clutter affects your nervous system, productivity, and peace

• The power of planning and accountability (especially from the other side of the world!)

• Why letting go of physical stuff often requires letting go emotionally first

• How mindset work overlaps with organizing—every single time

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing too much and still not getting the results I want,” this episode will hit home hard.

Michelle Gauthier—life coach for overwhelmed working women—joins me for an honest, funny, and energizing convo about what it takes to stop the hustle and start living and working from a place of peace.

We bonded over our love of organization and our eerily similar life paths (living in the same three states, fate, and a whole lot of serendipity!).

Michelle shares the story of her leap from corporate life into coaching, how she built belief in herself from scratch, and the systems she uses to help women achieve more by doing less.

We dive into the life-changing power of creating a "To-Don’t List,” setting boundaries like a boss, and making business decisions that actually support your life—not steal from it.

And yes, you’re going to want to make your own To-Don’t List right after this.

What you'll learn:

• What Michelle did before she had belief in herself—and how you can do it too

• Her “To-Don’t List” concept (and why it’s so freeing!)

• How to stop recreating your corporate job in your business

• The truth about working more to solve overwhelm (spoiler: it doesn’t work)

• Why you should never make your kids' lunches (ha—seriously, you’ll see)

• The Sunday system Michelle swears by to keep her week on track

• Tips to finally stop overbooking your calendar and start feeling peace!
