Professional organizing changed my entire life. After 20 years of working at huge companies, I started working for myself, opened an organizing business and grew it to six figures. And now I spend all day, every day at Pro Organizer Studio teaching professional organizers around the world how to grow the business of their dreams.

This podcast gives you ACTIONABLE strategies you can take into your business right now! It’s the go-to pod for great pro organizers and I can’t wait to have you as a listener!

245 | “Sometimes entrepreneurship is just…accidental.” | Building a multi-6-figure business with Cabri Caldwell

Cabri is talking about how she built a multi-6-figure organizing business by realizing she needed great people to help her! She has built a great team and we’re talking through all the key parts of that, including:

  • Cabri’s “accidental team” origin story (spoiler: a huge, fast-moving client project forced the leap)

  • Why hiring is a slippery slope in the best way once you experience less burnout, less emotional load, and more time and bandwidth

  • The profitability reality: how teams shift you from “time for money” to scalable profit

  • The hard parts no one glamorizes, like cash flow and payroll pressure, team emotions and conflict, and protecting your team from difficult clients

244 | Do It Scared (but do it anyway) with my MN organizing besties

In this episode, Melissa is back with her Minnesota organizing besties (Missi, Cori, and Kielyn) for an honest conversation about fear, authenticity, mistakes, and doing business scared anyway.

If you’ve ever:

  • Frozen because you were afraid to make the wrong decision

  • Stayed in a bad situation because you feared a bad review

  • Wondered if you’re “professional enough” to be yourself

  • Procrastinated something small but important (👀 invoices, SEO, phone calls…)

…we FEEL YOU!

This episode is part mindset reset, part business strategy, part group therapy—with a lot of laughs and very honest moments along the way.

What happens when four professional organizers (who are also actual IRL dear friends) finally manage to get on the same schedule… before 2031? 😅

In this episode, Melissa brings on her Minnesota organizing crew—Missi, Cori, and Kielyn—for the start of a longer, multi-part conversation packed with business talk, mindset shifts, team leadership, and the kind of honesty you only get from friends who’ve seen each other’s mail piles.

In this episode, Melissa shares a powerful goal-setting workshop from inside the Inspired Organizer community, led by Cabri. Together, they walk through how to reflect on last year, set goals that actually fit your life and business, and create a plan you’ll stick with—without burnout, guilt, or arbitrary pressure.
