10 year ago Sara could not picture today Sara, and I couldn’t be happier for where I am and how I got here. Today, I am the proud co-founder of the Joyful Support Movement; co-host of 2 podcasts, write these blog posts, create helpful courses, and participate in an online village with like minded individuals for 24/7 support. 10 years ago I was in a new state, no job, mom to a very active toddler, not knowing anyone outside of my immediate family and feeling so lost and lonely.
In order to have a flexible job to be the go to parent, I started cleaning houses with a fellow preschool Mom. From there, I started my own business cleaning. That turned in to custom services, beyond cleaning. Then it evolved into home management consulting after seeing a need. Wanting to share the fundamentals of what I say and do with my clients, I envisioned a podcast and creating courses, which is when I joined forces with Lacey. Our partnership turned in to Joyful Support.
I can look back and clearly see that one thing led beautifully to the next. I used to struggle with evolving because I thought it meant my previous step was failure. The old thought was- “Get it right the first time!”. But now I don’t believe there is a ‘getting it right’. I believe there is starting where you are, and seeing what the next possible step is.
Today I am happy to share the next step of this amazing, evolving journey. The original podcast, No Shame in the Home Game, started as a reality based podcast following participants as they altered their homes to feel the way they wanted them to feel. From there we broadened the scope to bring on experts in various fields, and then to Questions and Answers all related to home management. We want to help with more than your home. We want to be there with you for every step to feel better.
No Shame in Our Game is the same great banter and levity of the original, now with an expanded scope.
- How do you clean your fridge? We can help with that!
- How to communicate tasks with neurodiverse house mates? We have an expert for that!
- What’s the best way to tell my family they aren’t staying with me during the holidays? We’ve got healthy boundary phrases for that!
- Is a burger a sandwich? We’ve actually worked this one out!
We don’t have all the answers, but together, we can hear your problem, recommend resources, and find steps that give you the best solution for you. You aren’t alone in this journey. You are helping yourself, with the help of community.
