About this episode

Most people (me!!) have not super fond memories of middle school--but for Nancy and Tina, a junior high friendship blossomed into a business partnership in a wildly successful organizing business. I am talking to them about their partnership, organizing, life, and so much more--it's the PERFECT way to end 2024 on the Pro Organizer Studio Podcast!
