What’s What BR Podcast - Olivia Parks

How Professional Organizers Help Busy Families   In this episode of What’s What BR, first-time guest Olivia Parks, owner of Professional Organizers, explains how her team helps individuals and families declutter and organize homes to make daily life easier and reduce stress. She discusses how clutter impacts productivity and mental health, the difference between cleaning, decluttering, and organizing, and why organizing addresses the root problem by creating systems. Olivia shares how sessions typically run for five hours, when clients need to be present (decluttering) versus not (organizing), and how her team brings supplies and can recommend products without unnecessary spending. She also explains their donation process, common mistakes like trying to tackle too much at once, and how they support clients facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, downsizing, or loss of a loved one.   00:00 Meet Olivia Parks 00:36 What Organizers Do 02:30 Why Clutter Stresses Us 04:27 Declutter vs Organize 06:45 How Decluttering Works 07:59 DIY Mistakes and Small Wins 10:26 Supplies and Product Planning 12:13 Donations Made Easy 13:28 Sessions Scheduling and Surprises 17:26 Final Tips and Wrap Up
