Today I'm joined by Ashley Murphy, co-founder and CEO of NEAT Method and author of The NEAT Method Organizing Recipe Book. Ashley started her career as an in-home personal trainer, and it was there that she first noticed something surprising: a client's disorganized space could quietly undo the progress they were making everywhere else. That observation eventually grew into a national organizing brand with a community behind it that she's incredibly proud of.

We talk about why the kitchen (not the closet) tends to be the biggest source of stress in a home, why she never recommends buying bins and baskets first, and the simple mindset shift — renaming your "junk drawer" — that can change how you feel about a space entirely. If you've ever felt like your home is working against you instead of for you, this conversation is for you.

In this episode:

• How a personal training client taught Ashley that a disorganized home was affecting more than just her space
• Why the kitchen and primary bedroom hold the most stress in a home
• The "quick win" to try before you buy a single organizing product
• Measuring your "prime real estate" before you buy bins or baskets
• What The NEAT Method Organizing Recipe book is really teaching
• How a side hustle grew into a 100+ market organizing community

Your bedroom should be the room you can't wait to walk into at the end of the day, not just another room on your to-do list. In this episode, I'm sharing my simple four-part method for creating a bedroom that actually feels like a retreat: starting with the foundation of your bed, layering with intention, choosing colors and textures that calm your nervous system, and finishing with the small details that make it feel unmistakably yours. These aren't big renovations. They're small, doable shifts you can start this week, whether you're craving a little more softness in your everyday or just ready for better sleep.

I get two questions all the time: “Lisa, how can you possibly help me if you’ve never set foot inside my home?” and “Wait, how does an energetic space clearing even work from far away?” In this episode I’m pulling back the curtain on both sides of my virtual work.

First, I walk you through how a remote consultation actually happens. I share a story about a client in Savannah, Georgia, and how a floor plan, a few photos, and about 25 minutes together on Zoom told me almost everything I needed to know about her home, and her finances, before she said even a word.

Then I go even deeper into distance space clearing itself. I’ll explain what it actually is, why I believe (and have seen) that it can be even more powerful than an in-person clearing, and I’ll share a story involving a gong that still gives me chills.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to work with Lisa, but I’m not local,” this episode is for you. Location has never been a barrier to either a consultation or a clearing, and I want you to understand exactly why.

Also in this episode: I share an update on the Aligned Sanctuary retreat — it’s officially sold out, but there’s still a way to get on the list.

Have you ever walked into your home this summer and just... stopped? Not because anything's wrong exactly, but because it feels like chaos. Shoes multiplying by the door, mail piling up on the counter, half-empty water bottles on every surface.

If that's you, I want you to hear me say this: it's so normal for this season of life. Summer connects to the fire element in Feng Shui, high energy, in and out the door, schedules that change every single day. Of course your home reflects that.

In this episode, I'm sharing five simple, doable ways to regain control of your home this summer. No major cleaning day, no overhaul, no remodel required.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why trying to fix the whole house at once leads to freezing instead of progress, and how to pick just one zone to start
• How to create a landing pad for keys, sunglasses, and everything else that comes in the door with you
• The two-minute fresh air reset that shifts both the feel and the energy of your home
• A five to ten minute nightly surface clear ritual that changes how your whole morning feels
• How to notice when a system that worked for another season no longer fits where you are now

This is a short and sweet one you can come back to anytime you're feeling overwhelmed. Save it for those busy weeks.

I'm back in the mailbag this week, answering three of your favorite kinds of questions, the raw, real-life ones. But first, I have to share something that filled my cup completely. Recently, I went home to my hometown for a talk and got to hug two of my elementary school teachers and reconnect with my very first friend, Wendy, who surprised me in the crowd. It was one of those days I'll hold onto for a long time. Going home to celebrate and share something I'm so proud of may have made my year!

Then we dive into your questions:

• Adrienne wants to know how to bring more money and abundance into her home and life. I share my favorite way to start (a little everyday luxury), plus how to find and activate your wealth and abundance corner using the Bagua map.
• Marta is feeling frozen and stuck and wants to know what to do first. I walk her through a simple visualization to find the one thing that's holding her back.
• Jill asked one I hear all the time: how do you create a home that works for two people who like completely different things? I share my favorite tricks for blending styles.

Whether you're craving more abundance, feeling stuck, or navigating decor with a partner who sees things differently, this episode has a little something for you.

I've talked a lot on this podcast about how our homes hold energy, but this week I wanted to bring in someone who sees it from a completely different angle: functional systems.

My guest, Julianna Strickland, is the creator of Space Camp Home Organizing. She's organized thousands of homes, and what she shared completely lines up with what I see energetically... a space can look clean on the surface and still feel completely off, because it isn't actually functioning for the life you're living.

We talked about why so many organizing systems fall apart within a few weeks, the difference between a space that looks good and one that actually supports you, and why buying bins before you measure your space (guilty!) is one of the most common mistakes people make.

A few of my favorite moments from our conversation:

• Why a "clean" room can still be quietly stressing out your brain
• The 20% rule — why leaving breathing room in a drawer or closet is what actually makes a system stick
• Julianna's simple trick for measuring your space using your phone
• Why you should get donations out of the house immediately, not "eventually"
• How to figure out what belongs in your easy-to-reach spaces vs. your hard-to-reach ones

If you've ever organized a space, only to watch it fall back into chaos a month later, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do instead.

I've been dreaming of this for a long time... and it's finally happening.

This week, I'm not sharing tips or answering questions. I'm talking directly to you about the Aligned Sanctuary Retreat, something I've been building toward for over 20 years of doing this work. And this September, I'm opening the doors of my home to eight women.

Not a hotel. Not a rented retreat space. My actual home . The one I've spent years intentionally designing, arranging, and aligning to feel like a true sanctuary.

In this episode, I walk you through:

• What the retreat is and why I kept it to just eight women
• The three pillars of the Intuitive Home Method and how they shape the entire weekend
• A full breakdown of the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday experience
• Our special guests — including Jen Heller, Maggie Kitch, and a couple of surprises I'm keeping close
• The gifts you'll go home with, the 15-acre property, the heated saltwater pool, and yes — the fire pit evening I won't be spoiling
• Who this retreat is for, and who it isn't
• All the practical details: dates, pricing, how to apply, and your special listener window

September 25-27, 2026 | Fort Wayne, Indiana | By application only | 8 spots total

Early bird pricing extended for podcast listeners through July 8th.
