Lisa’s Organizational Story In Her 20’s and 30’s

My eardrums are breaking. I’m working on starting a professional organizing business and find the content and personal stories and ideas helpful. But some of the talking is really quiet and then SUPER loud when the speakers change or they laugh. I have to turn it way down in defense, but then miss half of what is said. Please have someone listen to your sound!

Good content, awful sound

Lisa is relatable and easy to follow. Very helpful!!
