Hi, I'm Lauren Pearl, and welcome to Let's Unpack It, where we talk about physical, mental, and emotional clutter. It's easy to see physical clutter, not so easy to see the mental and emotional clutter that we have. packed away, but we can feel it and it's a heavy load to carry. Want to talk about how you can become aware of what you've packed away? How to let go of it to find your calm, joy, productivity, organization, and a lot more. I'm a huge fan of organizing. I started organizing when I was about six years old. I loved putting my books in descending height order. It was very calming for me. Growing up in a chaotic home that wasn't calm at all, organizing felt good to me and I came to turn it into a business. Fifteen years ago I founded Pearl Concierge Services and I have since helped hundreds of clients, primarily female clients. To get unpacked, to get decluttered and organized. So there's so many interesting conversations that we're going to be having. And I really look forward to you sharing in all of it. So let's unpack it. A few months ago, about three months ago, I decided to start a podcast and now I just did my fifth episode. And, um, we are on Apple podcasts. I'm very excited. I'm very excited. I'm loving my conversations. I'm really excited about the next conversations to come and excited to share them with you. And I feel, I'm sure there's a lot of feelings. Going on in me because it's era of Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is fasting day, and the day of reflection, and the day of tshuva, going back to yourself, back to really before creation. Yeah, I'm feeling so myself doing this podcast and having these conversations with such amazing people and it feels so like me to me, um, and I've really pushed myself so much way beyond comfort zone, way past it. I'm not even sure exactly where that's coming from, but I have, I've been enrolled in. And still am in several classes. I'm learning so much. I am pushing myself. I am reading directions. I am going step by step by step. And I have a podcast that I'm really proud of. And I only just really first thought of doing it. First thought of it was in March when I was on someone else's podcast. And I thought that was so much fun, so much fun and so interesting. So anyway, here I am and I have this podcast and I do feel really, really proud of myself. And then I just, I miss my mom. I miss my mom so much. She would be so proud of me. And um, she died when I was 25, so it's been a really long life without her. And she was such a fan. I just, I can hear her saying, Lori, I'm so proud of you. I'm so, I'm feeling her hug. It's hard. I miss her. It's a very sad thing for me that she never met in person, my children and my grandchildren. But I feel her with me. I wish I had her with me in person, but I don't. But I feel her goodness and kindness, which is just, um, parts of some of the really good stuff in me. And then there's the stuff to let go of. It could be a different conversation, generational trauma, it's real, but mostly I miss my mom and I wish she was here with me, but I know she is, and I wish you, if you are fasting, I wish you an easy fast, and may you and your loved ones be inscribed in the book for a healthy, happy, meaningful, beautiful, unpacked, and organized new year, And we'll look forward to talking again soon.
