LifeStyled: Your Guide to a More Organized & Intentional Life with Shira Gill

The Jen Marples Show

The Jen Marples Show episode 187 is here!

Ready to strip away the clutter and create a life that actually feels good? This week I'm thrilled to welcome back one of our most popular guests ever, Shira Gill – organizing expert, bestselling author, and total badass who's helping women cut through the BS and design lives they love. Her new book "LifeStyled" takes her minimalist philosophy beyond just organizing our closets (though she's brilliant at that too) and applies it to every area of our overwhelmed lives.

Shira drops some serious wisdom about breaking free from burnout by being "radically intentional" with our time, energy and commitments. She shares game-changing strategies like the index card system for focusing on what truly matters, how to create a minimalist boutique hotel vibe in your bedroom (yes please!), and why it's perfectly okay to say "hell no" to cooking dinner or sending holiday cards if that's not your thing.

As midlife women, we're done with doing all the things half-assed – it's time to do less, BETTER!. Whether you're feeling stretched too thin, craving more calm in your life, or just ready to stop shoulding all over yourself, this episode is your permission slip to let go of what's not serving you.

Shira Gill is a globally recognized home organizing expert and bestselling author with a minimalist philosophy. She has inspired thousands of people to clear clutter from their homes and lives, and developed a process and toolkit that applies to anyone, regardless of budget, space, or lifestyle.

Shira and I discuss:

• How to create more intentionality in all areas of life, beyond just the home.
• Pausing and conducting a "life audit" to evaluate priorities.
• Practical tips for reducing burnout and decision fatigue.
• Embracing the freedom and liberation that comes saying no.
• Only focusing on one or two big goals per year.
• The transformative power of creating a visually pleasing, clutter-free environment.
• Giving yourself permission to be "bad" at certain tasks.

Shira Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to Travel the World Alone!
