Merging function with flair.
Using organization not just for the sake of tidiness, but as a way to enhance your everyday experience. Like having more enjoyable or efficient mornings and creating space for relaxing and connecting in the evenings.
The power of our external surroundings to influence our internal well-being.
Paying attention to the details.
Crafting solutions that not only solve problems, but do so in unique and engaging ways.
Infusing personality and fun into otherwise mundane tasks. And approaching life with a mix of pragmatism and imagination.
Making life easier for others.
Weirdly awesome at baking chocolate chip cookies.
Will order a dirty martini with Beefeater and blue cheese stuffed olives at every opportunity.
Always buying hair elastics.
Currently living in a little town by the sea in Portugal.
Love any film with Meryl Streep.
Or Sandra Bullock.
Or Colin Firth.
Or Russell Crowe.
I work with professionals who are relocating for work.
And digital nomads (relocating for fun?).
And retirees who are moving into a smaller space. Or going wild and moving abroad because ... why not?
I also work with families who are moving a loved one in to a retirement, assisted living, or care community.
As an adult, I’ve have moved house 20 times (crossing state lines 4 times, crossing international boundaries 6 times). This is not counting the 27 months I spent caring for other people's homes in 9 different countries in Europe and managing an AirBnB for some friends in Vietnam.
I know how to start a new life in a new home. In a new city. In a different country.
I know how to pack everything up, then go and set it all up again.
I know how to take everything with me and I know how to carry with me only the things that I truly want in my life.
And I'd love to be part of your journey.
A new newsletter coming in February 2025, sharing stories from people who have packed up and moved to another country. Every week you’ll get to see what moving from one home to another, one country to another, was like for someone just like you. Why they moved, how they prepared, what their experience was like, and (sometimes) why they moved on or returned to their original residence.
Sometimes it’s funny. Sometimes it’s full of helpful advice. Some stories will break your heart and some will inspire you to have your own adventure abroad.
If you’re contemplating or in the middle of a life-changing overseas move, you’re gonna want to read this.
A weekly conversation about all the stuff we bring into our homes (and our lives).
Why it brings us joy. And what to do if it doesn’t.
Let’s talk about the things that make our lives better and how to deal with anything that’s keeping us from experiencing the pleasure of just being at home.
Because don’t we all want more style, ease, and FUN in the part of our life that isn’t taking place at work?
Yeah. I think we do.
