What if organization wasn’t about spotless rooms, but about a life that works when it counts? We sit with Janet Taylor—organiser, corporate trainer, and host of “Got Clutter? Get Organized”—to unpack how a layoff became a launchpad, why safety and boundaries protect both client and pro, and how one small step can reset a day, a home, and even a career. Janet takes us behind the scenes of corporate webinars, reveals the simple habits that fight burnout, and shares the moment a surprise email led to a crown on the Rachel Ray Show!
Janet’s philosophy flips common myths: neatness isn’t the goal—function is. She explains how to build systems that help you find things the first time, save money by stopping duplicate buys, and reclaim attention for what matters. We get real about hoarding boundaries and ethics, why she partners with mental health pros in those cases, and how a “gentle nudge” builds trust without judgment. From repurposing heirlooms—a travel trunk turned coffee table—to creating a monthly bill routine that paid off debt, her stories show how clarity eases stress, grief, and decision fatigue.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a gentle nudge, and leave a quick review—what’s the one small step you’ll take today?
