Want to simplify your life?

You’re in luck! It’s my pleasure to introduce you to a husband and wife team of professional organizers, Samantha Kristoferson & Emilio Jose Garcia. They refer to themselves as the personal trainers of organizing.

Since starting their business a few years ago they have helped a few hundred people declutter their lives.

Emilio is originally from Spain and Samantha is from Canada, but they met in New Zealand while both traveling on their own. Talk about fate, right?

When they decided to put down roots in Canada they started focusing on an important lesson from their travels: they didn’t need much stuff to be happy and to feel satisfied.

They wanted to share this lesson with others by starting a professional organizing business.

Some lessons from our conversation include:

How purging your life can help you discover your purpose and transform all aspects of your life.
How traveling abroad for two years showed them how to live with less.
How they built their business using mentors and creating case studies.
