The Heart of Organizing

Welcome to the Heart of Organizing. In this podcast, the word "heart" has two meanings. First, as in the "heart of the matter," it means the most central and important part. Second, it is a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to organizing. It’s an approach that comes from the heart and empowers you to have a better life. Join Andy Hartman as he shares insights from his eleven years of experience as a Professional Organizer.
