It all started during a big cross-country move. My cousin was relocating from Virginia to California, and I offered to help her unpack and get settled. We spent hours sorting boxes, folding clothes, and arranging her new space. What surprised us both? I was genuinely enjoying every second of it.
About four hours in—with zero breaks—my cousin looked at me, wide-eyed and smiling, and said,
“You should really start doing this as a business – like Marie Kondo! You’ve been working for hours with a smile on your face.”
Those words landed deep. For years, organizing had been something I simply did for friends and family—something I loved. But I’d never once considered turning it into a profession.
