Meet Our Guest Rachel Lewis
Rachel Lewis is an adoptive, foster, and biological mom and lives with her family in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She experienced five pregnancy losses and writes about them on her blog, The Lewis Note. She is the founder of the online support group Brave Mamas and the author of Unexpecting: Real Talk on Pregnancy Loss.
For more from Rachel, connect with her on Facebook and Instagram.

Unexpecting is a comprehensive resource explaining what to expect from your body, heart, mind and soul following the death of your baby during pregnancy or after birth. What you need during this time is not a book offering easy answers. You need a safe place to help you navigate what comes next, such as:
· Coping with a postpartum body without a baby in your arms.
· Facing social isolation and grief invalidation.
· Wrestling with faith when you feel let down by God.

Listen in to find out about Part 2 of the important 90 percent and how these three principles will help you actually get organized for good:
10 percent is choosing the systems that work for you30 percent is decluttering30 percent is pre-deciding

477 A Place for Everything How to Actually Get Organized for Good Part 1

Kathi is talking with Tonya Kubo today, and they’re cracking the case on perhaps the most common topic in Clutter Free Academy: just how in the world do we get more organized? Organization is really about getting ahead and thinking about where things will be when we need them. Kathi simplifies this process by reminding us that everything has a cost of space, time, energy, or money. Then she helps us prioritize the systems and things we really need in this season, teaching us about the first 30% of organization:
Don’t let it into the houseKick it back into playLessen the amount of things we manage

Do you constantly compare yourself with others? On social media, in your neighborhood, at church, or in the school drop-off lane, do you push yourself to prove that you measure up . . . and then feel ashamed when you don’t? Measuring yourself against others isn’t healthy. And it isn’t God’s plan. In fact, the way of Jesus is completely upside down from this measure-up world. He invites us to follow him and be restored to freedom, confidence, and joy.
