The Birth of Organized Academy
When I first started my business, I'd been married for a little over a year, I had a six month old and had just gone back to work after being on maternity leave for almost four months. Needless to say my time was extremely limited.
My ability to navigate all the things going on in my life and business led others to begin to pay closer attention to the things I was doing. I began to get questions on how to organize and handle major transitions, which quickly evolved into me helping others navigate their business, relationships, motherhood and home management as well.
As I began to teach others how to organize, I realized there was a higher demand than I could fulfill in the limited amount of time I had on a daily basis. In an effort to reach more people, Organized Academy was born.
