Are you someone who struggles with clarity or direction in life and staying organized in your home? Today I'm sharing my thoughts with you on how setting your home up using an assembly line model may help you easily flow from one task to another. By doing so, you won't have to put a lot of thought and effort into what comes next. Sometimes we get really scatterbrained and disorganized in our homes because we are distracted by all there is to do. We jump from one task to another task without completing the task that we were previously working on. An assembly line model can help reset our mindframe to complete one task before moving on to the next. Tune in to hear my three tips for setting up your home like an assembly line so that you are more organized and productive. COACHING Schedule a 15-Minute Consultation | |||

| 03 Nov 2021 | 019 \\ CLIENT CHECK-IN! Declutter the Kitchen with Breast Cancer Survivor Jennifer Herndon | 00:36:40 | |
When I work with a client decluttering and organizing her space, my support and coaching doesn't stop there. I'm always available for follow-up and accountability.
In this podcast episode, I'm checking-in with Jennifer Herndon a month after my in-person session with her as we had decluttered and organized her ranch house kitchen.
In 2020, Jennifer and her husband inherited a family house in which they were beginning to renovate. Unexpectedly she was diagnosed with breast cancer and Jerry had to finish most of the renovations himself. He also had to move them in to their new home because Jennifer was too weak from cancer treatments. Jennifer reached out to me because her kitchen was the only room in the house that was yet to be decluttered and organized.
Tune in as I check in with her, discover how her husband reacted to the kitchen overhaul and hear how her habits have changed since our time together.

Do you have difficulty staying focused on any task you want to complete? Do you start decluttering or organizing your house and you find that you get distracted and never fully finish what you began to do? You may have chalked it up to having "mom-brain" or if you’re not a mom you may have even thought that you have adult ADHD. I totally know how you feel. I have struggled with staying focused as an adult myself, and I have realized lately that my phone actually is a massive culprit in my ability to focus. On today's show, I am bringing on Sandy Cooper someone I highly admire and who has done several episodes on her podcast about social media and our phones and how they affect our mental well-being. I hope that you will hang out with us today and tomorrow as I share with you this two-part conversation about our phones and social media and how they affect our ability to focus. If you want to actually follow through with decluttering and organizing your home, these two episodes are for you!

| 29 Oct 2021 | 017 \\ Reduce Your Stress and Shop for Christmas Gifts with this Three Tier Plan | 00:23:16 | |
I love this time of year with all the holidays and festivities and cooler weather. It definitely touches my nostalgic heartstrings and brings back a lot of childhood memories.
But one thing I struggle with is all the commercialism that accompanies this season. As I've become more of a minimalist over the years and I've downsized the amount of items I can efficiently manage in my home, I've become bitter towards Christmas gift giving. That's not something I want to experience this year and I definitely don't want to feel like a Christmas Scrooge.
So this year I'm planning ahead to keep my stress and overwhelm at bay so that I can fully enjoy the holiday with my family and friends. And I'm sharing my strategy with you on this episode to bring you along with me because, friend, we don't have to let the Christmas season become a burden and we can create precious memories and traditions without the overwhelm. Let's get our act together and create a plan!

Coaching for Cluttered Christian ADHD Mom Have you ever felt that whisper in the back of your mind while you’re decluttering, telling you that what you're getting rid of is good stuff that you could make money off of? We've all been there, caught between the idea of making some extra cash and the desire to just get rid of the stuff that’s taking over our space. It's a tough call, especially when time and energy are already stretched thin. But let's face it, selling things can feel like another full-time job. Photos, listings, messages, meet-ups – it can quickly become overwhelming. And no one wants to pay what you think the item is worth, right? Plus, the time you spend trying to sell each item can add up quickly, leaving you feeling drained and still surrounded by clutter. When you're an ADHD mom, every minute counts. You need to weigh whether the effort to sell your stuff is worth the potential reward or if it’s better to donate and move on. It’s easy to get caught up in the dream of making a little extra money, but the reality is that selling can be a time-consuming and often frustrating process. Imagine the relief of clearing out a whole room in a single afternoon because you decided to donate instead. No haggling, no waiting for buyers to show up – just a cleaner, more peaceful space. It’s tempting to think of the potential earnings, but sometimes the biggest payoff is the peace of mind and the extra time you get back for yourself and your family. In today's episode, my client, Angela, shares her honest experience of trying to make some money from her decluttered items. It was a hard pill to swallow, but she realized she just needed to let the items go and gain back her time instead of her money. Join us as she shares her experience.

Coaching for Cluttered Christian ADHD Moms Do you find yourself at the end of the day wondering what you were able to accomplish? Do you bounce from one room to the next but never feel like you finish anything? Do you feel exhausted at the end of the day but your house is STILL A MESS?

Now, of course, bad habits don't go away so quickly. That's where online coaching with me became a tremendous benefit. I was able to hold her accountable while she practiced this new habit, and before too long, she was catching herself bouncing around her house and made herself to stay in one place.

Let me ask you a question, how much time do you think you waste just looking for things in your house? Or even in your car or purse or at work? How many times has those missing items made you late taking your kids to school or getting to work?
PR Newswire reports that Americans spend about 2 1/2 days a year looking for misplaced items. And what's more alarming is that we collectively spend $2.7 billion each year replacing items. That's a whole lotta moola that should be staying in our pockets! This unnecessary spending can easily be remedied with some minor changes in our habits.
In today's episode, I'm sharing with you four reasons it's difficult for you to find things in your home. I'm laying out possible reasons and giving you do-it-right-now action steps to take to optimize your environment and your habits.

Coaching for Cluttered ADHD Christian Moms BOOK A CONSULTATION Do you ever look at the clock and wonder where the day went? Or even what you did that day? If you're like many ADHD moms, time management might seem like a never-ending battle. You're juggling kids, meals, work, and maybe squeezing in a moment for yourself—only to end up feeling like you've barely made a dent in your to-do list. When it comes to how we spend our time, our choice is usually dictated by whatever is needed by our kids and family. It's like spinning plates, right? We rush around trying to keep all the plates spinning at the same time. But the one plate we neglect that sadly ends up toppling over most times is our own basic fundamental needs. So many times we push our own needs to the back burner, thinking we'll get to it "later." By the time we're done taking care of everyone else, it's just more work to focus on taking care of ourselves. But what if prioritizing your fundamental needs could actually help you handle everything else better?

The hard truth is that social media platforms are designed in a way to suck you in and keep you there to keep you looking at ads. It can create addiction and dependency especially if you're someone who has grown a business heavily dependent on the use of social media platforms.
On the show today, I'm chatting with my good friend Chelsea Hurst. Chelsea has 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and 480k Instagram followers and decided to take a month long break from all her social media accounts. We chat about being a new mom, finding your identity and creating new habits and boundaries with social media in our personal lives as well as our online businesses and ministries.
If you've been contemplating taking a break from social media, you will leave this episode encouraged and inspired to take the next step. You can be free from the bondage of social media and walk in free. You can do this! And I'm doing it right along with you during this season of Lent. Let's go!
Always with love and straight truth, Lisa

When you hear the word minimalism what comes to your mind? Do you think of a bare house without any decor or character? Do you think strict rules of not being able to buy or own anything? Or do you think of giving away all your possessions to live in a tiny home? Well, let me tell you that minimalism isn’t any of that. I mean yes it can look like that for some people but the majority of people who choose a minimalist lifestyle do so for this one main reason - to live in a way that is not too overwhelming or beyond their capacity. Most of us do not live minimally. And it’s not just with the number of things we own. We take on too many projects, say yes to too many invites, and cave to too much marketing. The fact of the matter is that we let our lives control us instead of us controlling our lives. In today’s episode, I’m chatting with my friend Camie Wilke as she shares her journey with minimalism as a work-from-home businesswoman who has plans to grow her family through adoption. She shares what led to her decision to become a minimalist and how she was able to get her sentimental husband on board. She also shares her dreams of continuing her minimal lifestyle when she becomes a mom. I hope our conversation inspires you to explore the idea of minimalism a little further. Now before we dive into our conversation, I want to know how your daily resets are going. Are you finding the mindset of simple daily resets to be helpful in managing the mess in your home?

Thanksgiving has become my favorite holiday and it's slowly but surely taken the place of Christmas just for the sheer fact that it is so much easier to celebrate. You cook a side, get together with family, sit around for hours visiting and go home without a holiday hangover.
There's no big build up or much prep for Thanksgiving day other than making sure you have your ingredients purchased early before the grocery store shelves are cleared out.
It's really just a great holiday to celebrate but unfortunately a black cloud still hovers over Thanksgiving Day as people gear up for Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping. It's almost as if those days have become national holidays themselves.
In this episode, I'm sharing with your four non-tangible gift ideas to give someone this holiday season because we all need less stuff in our lives to manage and more time and freedom to live abundantly.

I’m gonna share with you something that I only share with my coaching clients. Decluttering is NOT the answer! WHAT?!! Nope, it’s not. You may have typed in "decluttering," "organizing," or "minimalism" to get you to this show. Yes, I do talk about all of those topics, but more importantly, I have a learned that no matter how little you own in your home, you will not love your home or experience peace of mind, unless you establish simple and sustainable home management habits. Sure, we're going to clear the clutter, and yes, we’re going to get organized, but more importantly, we want to create systems so that we have sustainable home management habits. In today's episode, we're going to discuss some reasons why decluttering is not the answer and how creating systems in your home is going to help you build those home management habits. We're covering it all from decluttering to time blocking to better self-care. Let's dive in! If this episode blesses you, share it with a friend and leave a review!

A couple months ago I shared a podcast episode on How to Overcome Travel Exhaustion and Stress and bounce back quicker to be a productive mom after taking a trip.
What I love about what I shared is that it provided a great pre-travel checklist and it's what I refer back to anytime I'm about to travel. Things such as making sure the kitchen is stocked with food for when we return and hiring a housecleaner to come clean while we're away. Click HERE to listen to or read all the tips on preparing for a trip.
Today, I wanted to touch on the same topic of traveling and how to avoid travel burnout and exhaustion by answering the question, "Is it okay to stop my habits and routines while on vacation?"
We're actually vacationing this week in Destin, Florida on our annual Lizotte family vacation trip with Jered's family and I thought I could give you first hand feedback on my experience with sticking with my habits and routines instead of completely throwing them out the window and taking a break for the week.

That’s why I encourage you to do a weekly refrigerator reset and on today’s episode, I’m walking you through the exact steps I take to make that happen every weekend in our home.

Hey friend! Let me ask you something that you're probably not thinking about and you probably won't ever think about until you're in the thick of the moment. Do you have a backup plan for when sickness strikes in your home? I found myself answering this question last week with a big fat no as my response. Jered and I were sick as dogs last week. Unable to even get off the couch for a couple of days. Thankfully our kids are 9, 11, and 13 and are able to take care of themselves fairly well but through our sickness, I discovered that we could brush up on some habit training for our kids and that it would be extremely beneficial to have a plan established for when sickness strikes again. I mean it's rare that both parents are sick at the same time but it would make it so much easier to think through these things ahead of time so it easier for everyone regardless of who is sick or well. Sickness just throws off all rhythms and routines in the home so having a plan is going to help keep the home more in order and help everyone bounce back quicker. On today's show, I'm sharing with you three steps I'm taking to prepare us ahead of time for sickness. I encourage you to take some notes and join me in getting this system nailed down in your home as well. COACHING Schedule a 15-Minute Consultation | |||

| 04 Oct 2023 | 137 \\ BIRTHDAY EPISODE - 40 Life-Changing Lessons I’ve Learned Becoming a Minimalist | 00:17:01 | |
Minimalism isn’t just about decluttering your living space, but rather about refining your life to its essence. It’s about determining what truly holds value, meaning, and purpose, and letting go of the superfluous. It’s a philosophy that transcends mere possessions, touching upon the core of how we live, how we think, and how we relate to the world around us. Over the years, I've gleaned countless insights from this intentional journey of living with less. To celebrate turning 40, I’ve penned down 40 of the most significant lessons that minimalism has taught me. Some may resonate with you, while others may challenge your current beliefs. Either way, I invite you to journey with me as I share these transformative insights, hoping that they might inspire, provoke thought, or even catalyze your own journey toward a more mindful existence. From understanding the profound impact of our environment on our well-being to the beauty of intentional shopping, these lessons aren't mere observations but lived experiences. So, whether you're new to the concept of minimalism or have been walking this path for years, I hope my journey and its lessons provide both reflection and inspiration as you navigate your own.

| 16 Jul 2024 | 182 \\ Summer Decluttering with Real Moms - Bedtime Routines and Systems for Your Kids | 00:18:59 | |
Coaching for Cluttered Christian ADHD Mom Are your evenings a chaotic free-for-all, with kids running around at all hours and you collapsing into bed, exhausted and craving just a moment of peace? Without a consistent bedtime routine, many parents find themselves trapped in this cycle, sacrificing their own well-being and personal time. But what if there was a way to reclaim your evenings while also benefiting your children's development? Establishing a bedtime routine isn't just about getting kids to sleep—it's about creating structure that supports their growth and your sanity. Children thrive on predictability. A consistent bedtime routine helps regulate their internal clocks, leading to better sleep quality and duration. This, in turn, supports their cognitive development, emotional regulation, and physical health. Regular sleep patterns can improve attention spans, boost learning capabilities, and even strengthen immune systems. Moreover, a well-structured bedtime creates opportunities for meaningful connection. Whether it's through reading stories, sharing the day's events, or simply cuddling, these moments become cherished rituals that strengthen your bond. By implementing a bedtime routine, you're not just setting your kids up for a good night's sleep—you're laying the foundation for better behavior, improved academic performance, and overall well-being. And as an added bonus, you might just find yourself with that elusive personal time you've been craving. My student Bethany didn't know how beneficial a bedtime routine could be for her four girls until she joined The Accountability Club. Now she's implementing systems and routines that provide more peace throughout her day as a stay-at-home mom.

| 11 Jul 2024 | 181 \\ Summer Decluttering with Real Moms - Letting Go of Toy Clutter & Play Rooms | 00:20:25 | |
Coaching for Cluttered Christian ADHD Mom Is your child's playroom overflowing with toys, making you feel overwhelmed and your little one unable to focus? Many parents face this common challenge, where an abundance of playthings leads to chaos rather than creativity. When children have fewer toys, they tend to engage more deeply with each item, developing concentration and creativity. Moreover, a decluttered space can significantly reduce stress for both parents and kids. My client Gloria had to face some tough truths about her kids' playroom. By having a designated playroom, she realized her children weren't taking ownership of their toys. The playroom had become a dumping ground instead of a place where her children could explore and use their imaginations. She came to the conclusion that it was time to let go of their playroom and move their belongings to their bedrooms. Tune in as Gloria shares her story about decluttering and downsizing her kids' toys and playroom and teaching them how to better care for their toys! If this episode blessed you, leave a review!

| 21 Feb 2024 | 158 \\ Executive Function #5: Organization - Declutter and Systemize Your Home to be a More Organized ADHD Mom | 00:22:54 | |
As an ADHD mom, managing the clutter in our homes often feels like we’re trying to hold water in our hands—no matter how hard we try, it just keeps slipping through. We see the endless piles of laundry, the kitchen counters buried under who-knows-what, and the kids’ rooms that look like mini tornado zones. This constant state of disarray affects our mental space, our energy, and our ability to enjoy time with our families. Here’s the reality: our brains are wired a bit differently, and traditional organization methods that work for others might not cut it for us. But that doesn’t mean we’re doomed to live in chaos. It means we need a tailored approach, one that understands the unique challenges ADHD brings to the table. This is where decluttering and systemizing come into play. By simplifying our belongings and implementing systems designed to support our ADHD brains, we can create a home that feels more manageable and less overwhelming.

| 01 Sep 2022 | 072 \\ I Gave Up Procrastinating for One Year - 5 Things I’ve Gained From Not Procrastinating | 00:24:28 | |
My life is different now that I don't procrastinate. Today marks the one-year anniversary of my podcast, The Habits and Home Show, and also signifies the day I decided to stop being a procrastinator. On the very first episode of the podcast on September 1, 2021, I shared my personal struggle with procrastination and how I had felt led to start the podcast months earlier but I kept putting it off. I shared that perfectionism and a fear of failure had been holding me back from launching the podcast but that I was done with my overthinking and worrying about doing it "wrong" so I forced myself to JUST. LAUNCH. THE. PODCAST. That declaration and overcoming the need for perfection was a turning point for me. I no longer identified as a procrastinator and my actions this past year have solidified that belief about myself. Anytime there was an opportunity to put a task off, my inner belief about myself wouldn't let me. It kind of felt off. Like I was going against the very nature of my being. Anytime I thought about putting a task off until later, I found anxiety starting to creep in and I refused to let myself get into that state again because I just wasn't a place that I was able to thrive and be my best self. That "off feeling" became the trigger for me to take action and because of me developing that constant action taking habit this past year, I have reaped many rewards and today I'm sharing 5 simple but powerful five things I've gained from giving up the habit of procrastination this past year.
