The Jen Marples Show episode 187 is here!

Ready to strip away the clutter and create a life that actually feels good? This week I'm thrilled to welcome back one of our most popular guests ever, Shira Gill – organizing expert, bestselling author, and total badass who's helping women cut through the BS and design lives they love. Her new book "LifeStyled" takes her minimalist philosophy beyond just organizing our closets (though she's brilliant at that too) and applies it to every area of our overwhelmed lives.

Shira drops some serious wisdom about breaking free from burnout by being "radically intentional" with our time, energy and commitments. She shares game-changing strategies like the index card system for focusing on what truly matters, how to create a minimalist boutique hotel vibe in your bedroom (yes please!), and why it's perfectly okay to say "hell no" to cooking dinner or sending holiday cards if that's not your thing.

As midlife women, we're done with doing all the things half-assed – it's time to do less, BETTER!. Whether you're feeling stretched too thin, craving more calm in your life, or just ready to stop shoulding all over yourself, this episode is your permission slip to let go of what's not serving you.

Shira Gill is a globally recognized home organizing expert and bestselling author with a minimalist philosophy. She has inspired thousands of people to clear clutter from their homes and lives, and developed a process and toolkit that applies to anyone, regardless of budget, space, or lifestyle.

Shira and I discuss:

• How to create more intentionality in all areas of life, beyond just the home.
• Pausing and conducting a "life audit" to evaluate priorities.
• Practical tips for reducing burnout and decision fatigue.
• Embracing the freedom and liberation that comes saying no.
• Only focusing on one or two big goals per year.
• The transformative power of creating a visually pleasing, clutter-free environment.
• Giving yourself permission to be "bad" at certain tasks.

The Jen Marples Show episode 186 is here!

In this milestone episode (it’s my birthday!), I get real about turning 55 and share my unfiltered thoughts about aging, self-love, and embracing this stage of life. From finally learning to tell myself "I love you" during a powerful breathwork session (thank you to former podcast guest Sand Symes!) to my unapologetic stance on Botox (you can take it from my cold, dead hands!), I dive deep into body acceptance after menopause and share my fave makeup tips (hello, Bobbi Brown/Jones Road Miracle Balm!).

I also share my movie review of "The M Factor" documentary on PBS, which is sparking crucial conversations about menopause and women's health around the country as well as bringing women together. Fabulous! Menopause is the new HOT club!

The heart of this episode is my birthday gift to you – 10 transformative truths you need to know right now, starting with my rallying cry: You're Not Too F***ing to Old! I share my daughter Gaby's inspiring basketball story and how it gives us the courage to ask ‘why not you?’, break down why surrounding yourself with incredible women is non-negotiable, and get real about letting go of control.

Plus, I dish out a bonus tip about celebrating the wins of women around us because when one of us rises, we all rise. These aren't just feel-good mantras – they're your permission slip to bet on yourself, use your voice, and step into the midlife spotlight. Whether you're 45, 55, or 65, there's no expiration date on your fabulousness, and it's never too late to chase those dreams!

Jen Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to do the damn thing!
