Organizing with Intention | Jenny Albertini (EP350)

In today's episode, Diane interviews Jenny Albertini, a former global health practitioner turned professional organizer. Jenny shares her journey from working in public health to embracing the KonMari method, a minimalist approach to decluttering that emphasizes joy and usefulness. She discusses the biological, behavioral, and structural factors that contribute to clutter and how understanding these elements can help people manage their spaces more effectively.About JennyJenny Albertini has been organizing health systems and closets around the world for more than two decades. At 36, she left a high-flying career in international health to train under Marie Kondo and become one of her first certified KonMari MethodTM consultants, where she focused on finding joy within piles of clutter. While putting in thousands of hours of professional organizing Jenny has been featured on PBS, NBC, in the Washington Post, Apartment Therapy and many other media outlets. Recognized for her work fighting the AIDS epidemic while waging war on clutter, she has found a unique way to infuse public health into the professional organizing field. Now, nearly a decade into her career transition, Jenny's first book guides readers through how decluttering mindfully can improve our well-being. She lives in Washington, DC.-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityResource: Mel Robbin's 5,4,3,2,1 Countdown to SuccessResource: The NokboxCan’t Stop Talking About: The Consequences of Clutter | The US Senate Special Committee on AgingConnect with Jenny:WebsiteInstagramBook: Decluttered: Mindful Organizing for Health, Home, and BeyondEpisode Sponsors |The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.
