Dashboard: She Built a Business by Learning to Run Her Home

In her thirties, Lisa Woodruff hit a breaking point—overwhelmed, overweight, and depressed, as she puts it. So she made a radical decision: she quit her job as a school teacher and set out to get her own life in order. What started as a personal reset became a business—Organize 365—built around a simple but powerful idea: running a household isn’t all that different from running a company.In her new book, Escaping Quicksand, Lisa argues that households, like businesses, need systems, delegation, and intentional leadership. But she also makes a point that may resonate with a lot of listeners: for women especially, the stakes—and the expectations—are different. This week, Lisa explains what she’s learned about escaping overwhelm and why treating your home like a business might be the key to getting your life back.
