[Rerun] KonMari Kontroversy

Today’s episode is a rerun of one of our greatest hits from Year One!

You’ve more than likely heard the chatter about Marie Kondo, the creator of the KonMari method of organizing, supposedly “giving up”… but as we all know, there’s always more to a story than a clickbait-y headline leads us to believe. As one of the world’s first KonMari-trained and -certified organizers, Amanda shares her personal reaction to this media coverage, she and Brooke dive in to what it really means to have a space and life that sparks joy while giving up on the idea of perfection, and they reflect on why organizing and decluttering can be particularly important when facing loss.

Amanda then shares a joy-sparking budgeting tool that’s giving her a better view of household spending, and Brooke passes on another handy tip courtesy of Fran that is great to remember when you need to de-fog, stat.

Please note: Amanda is speaking as herself and of her own experience in this episode, and not as a representative of Marie Kondo or the KonMari organization.

About the Podcast

Good Enough-ish
A podcast from two organization-loving friends trying to be Good Enough-ish at all the things we juggle in life.
Good Enough-ish is a podcast from two organization-loving friends sharing tips, strategies, and real-life experiences (and fails!) of trying to be good enough-ish at all the things we juggle in life.

Co-hosts Amanda Jefferson & Brooke Forry love systems and organizing... but we are NOT perfect. (#notevenclose) We are busy, tired, flawed people, attempting to keep it all together with some joy and fun in the mix.

Amanda is the owner of Indigo Organizing and one of the world’s first KonMari consultants. She helps people have less stuff, less stress, more space AND more time for what MATTERS.

Brooke is a graphic designer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of the Balance Bound Planner, a line of US-made products that help busy people get organized and prioritize self-care.

We have LOTS to discuss, rant about, and laugh about, amidst also sharing some hopefully helpful tips for our listeners. New episodes drop every Thursday.
