  • Control That Frees You: Finding Peace, Not Perfection at Home | Christina Lee (EP405)
    What if “control” didn’t mean perfection, but peace? In this episode, Christina Lee, co-founder of Graceful Spaces Organizing, shares how she’s reclaiming the word “control” — not as a path to perfection, but as a tool for peace. We talk about the difference between healthy control and perfectionism, how simple systems can reduce overwhelm at home, and why an organized space should reflect your values, not Instagram standards. Christina opens up about a time she felt completely out of control, the mindset shifts that brought her back, and how parents can take small, doable steps toward a calmer, more empowered home.Links Discussed in This Episode |Diane's Minimalist Moment: Michael Griffin - Escape ArtistChristina Resource: Podcast: Curiosity Lab | Podcast: A Bit of Optimism | Podcast: Under the OaksConnect with Christina:WebsiteInstagramBlogAbout Christina|Christina, co-founder of Graceful Spaces Organizing — a home organizing company rooted in the belief that organization is about more than just tidy shelves.
