say YES to yourself!
Saying yes to yourself is not about being selfish, it's more about self-preservation, self-care, self-compassion. It’s a practice and it’s like any muscle that needs exercise - it’s awkward until it’s elegant. Each week on the say YES to yourself! podcast you’ll hear stories from women just like us who are adding this practice to their daily lives in big and small ways and as a result are experiencing the truth that everybody wins when you say YES to yourself!

Saying YES to Owning Your Power and Thriving Beyond Expectations with Lisa Woodruff (Pt.1)
In this powerful episode, Wendy sits down with Lisa Woodruff, the visionary behind Organized 365, to dive deep into how she’s unapologetically saying "yes" to herself—just as much, if not more, than she says yes to her family. Lisa opens up about taking control of her life in her 40s, launching her business, and stepping boldly into her purpose, all while continuing to support her loved ones. She shares how she kept asking herself, “What more do you want, Lisa?”—a question that led her to pursue bigger dreams, like earning her PhD in her 50s, and building her business beyond anyone's expectations. Lisa speaks to the courage it takes to prioritize your own growth in the face of societal pressures and reminds us that women are already running the world—we just need to own it. From shifting household dynamics (like passing cooking duties to her husband) to embracing the fact that we all have more capacity than we think, Lisa’s journey is a masterclass in self-empowerment. Get ready to be inspired, and stay tuned for part two of this transformative conversation next week!
About Lisa:
Lisa, along with 87% of Americans, believes organization is a learnable skill. Yet less than 18% of those same Americans feel they are organized. Through Organize 365®’s courses, Lisa aims to teach Americans young and old the skill of organizing and unlocking their time for what they are uniquely created to do.
Under Lisa’s direction, Organize 365 has conducted academic research, establishing the definitions of housework, home organization, and the weight of paper in the American home. This ongoing research is making the invisible work at home visible to all. Now in pursuit of her PhD, Lisa is moving our collective experience into the field of academia.
She is the author of four books, including "How ADHD Affects Home Organization" and "The Paper Solution". Lisa’s understanding of the lived female American experience has helped her to articulate why women are overwhelmed, tired, and what to do about it! Through The Sunday Basket®, Lisa helps externalize the routine tasks that take up the executive functioning capacity of our brains; freeing us up to think and create again!
