You’re in the right place if...
✅ You’re entering a new chapter.
You’re a woman in your 50s, 60s, or 70s navigating change—downsizing, retirement, a new marriage, or simply craving simplicity.
✅ You’re surrounded by “good stuff”... but it’s too much.
You’re ready to decide what stays and what goes, even when nothing is obviously trash.
✅ You want intention, not just instructions.
You don’t want someone to boss you around ... you want to feel clear and confident in every decision.

You want to leave a thoughtful legacy—not a cluttered mess—for the people you love most.
✅ You’re ready to start—one drawer at a time.
You don’t need to do it all at once. You just want to begin, with guidance that respects your energy and values.
This is not for you right now if…
🚫You want someone to make all the decisions for you.
If you're looking for rigid rules or a list of exactly what to keep and toss, this method isn’t for you.
🚫You’re unwilling to let go ... of anything.
If you refuse to part with items “just in case,” even when they no longer serve you, you won’t get the results you're looking for.
🚫You overthink every item ... but never follow through.
If you’re stuck in analysis paralysis and not ready to take small steps forward, this process will feel frustrating.
🚫You expect instant results or perfection.
If you’re looking for a one-day miracle makeover, you’ll be disappointed. This is about sustainable, meaningful change.
🚫You’re seeking organizing hacks ... not decision-making support.
