Electric Ideas with Whitney Baker

Feeling overwhelmed by the juggling act of keeping all the trains running as a mom? You're not alone. But guess what? There's a way to lighten that mental load.

Today on the podcast, Whitney connects with Amelia Pleasant Kennedy, a certified life coach, Fair Play facilitator, professional organizer, and the brains behind A Pleasant Solution. She's all about helping busy women reclaim control over their chaotic lives.

During their conversation, Whitney and Amelia discuss the mental load women often bear in managing their families and households, and the transformative power of decluttering both your physical and mental space. They cover a clutter-free mindset, which involves being intentional about how one's day is spent and making conscious choices about prioritizing tasks.

Amelia also explains what the Fair Play Method is and how to use it to distribute responsibilities and have open conversations about household tasks. It’s a powerful system that helps moms prioritize self-care and set boundaries.

By addressing this invisible load many of us hold and engaging in Fair Play at home, we can create a more balanced and fulfilling life that supports us and ripples out to those we love.

Here’s what to look forward to in today’s episode:

• What it means to cultivate a clutter-free mindset
