Our Chief of Chaos to Calm recently ran into a former client from December 2024. Beth spent 2 mornings helping her declutter and let go of a lot of her family keepsakes, as well as do some reorganizing of the overall space. In the course of their time together, Beth happened to mention that she was going home to make hundreds of potato latkes for the upcoming Hanukkah holiday to distribute to friends and a few longstanding clients. When she said it had been a long time since she had latkes, Beth knew that she was going to need to make sure she made enough for her and promptly dropped off a dozen a few days later.
Fast forward to June 2026 at a Superior Chamber speed networking event, and while it took a minute for Beth and Andrea to realize their former connection, they are now preparing to do an IJS Messy Business Happy Hour to discuss Andrea's new business as a grief coach for those struggling with the loss of a loved one. Grief's Companion
While most would not necessarily associate the work of a professional organizer with death, the reality is our clients are going through all different stages of life and often turn to us for resources.
Stay tuned for the upcoming interview, but in the meantime, if you or someone you know is going through any form of grief and wants to reach out to Andrea, here is the link to her website.
