My Story
In 2009 I was a divorced single mom struggling to make ends meet. At one point I was working five jobs. (For the whole story check out this blog post, How Mindset and the Container Store Changed My Life.)
Exhausted, discouraged, and unhappy about the quality of life I was providing for my daughter I knew there had to be more - I was more. I wanted to experience a better life.
​
I decided to take seriously the things I had been reading and listening to for years about abundance mindset and manifesting. Through various mindfulness tools, I started putting into practice these concepts. And it changed my life.​​
I created my business, Bee and Peacock Organizing, from scratch in 2017. Starting a business was definitely a powerful result of all the inner work I had done. But like many solopreneurs starting out, I struggled to get clients, keep up with social media posts, price my work correctly, and make sure I did all the business and legal stuff right.
Then there was the interaction with clients. Providing good customer service, trying to assess what they truly needed, being emotionally supportive, and making my schedule available for them while keeping my own personal boundaries. In some ways, I was still in a lack mentality and it showed in every area of my business.
​
I continued to hone those mindset skills and become more consistent in my focus and intent. Since then I have been able to make the inner work a daily habit that has empowered me to grow myself along with my business. It has been a profound and transformative journey giving me a new and deeper view of my own self-worth, tangible abundance, and more effective service to those around me.
​Through my years of working with organizing clients I have seen so many people struggle with maintaining their organized spaces. They want so much to live a different life, but they have mental and emotional blocks that keep them from establishing the habits and motivation needed to achieve their goals. Sometimes just helping them organize their spaces wasn't enough.
But, I knew from experience that thoughts and habits CAN change. I survived growing up in a hoarder home, two divorces, and years of financial insecurity. I not only survived but learned to thrive.
I became a Certified Life Coach so I would have the tools and understanding to continue to help myself and to help those who struggle with both inner and outer clutter. ​I founded The Conscious Organizer to provide inspiration, coaching, and resources for all of us who strive to live a balanced healthy life. It is my joy to see people achieve their goals for a peaceful beautiful space where they thrive and can relax.
I spent the first half of my life in the music industry as a teacher, performer, and arts manager, primarily focusing on the classical music genre, specifically on piano, violin, and voice. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Music Education from Hardin-Simmons University.
​
Music and teaching have been and continue to be important aspects of my life.

Other things that light me up are being outside, tai chi and qi gong, good friends, good architecture, good food, my two cats, and my fabulous daughter.
