From Luxury Estates to Special Needs Homes with Kelly Dixon

You know those conversations that leave you feeling both seen and inspired to take action? That was this week’s episode.

I brought on my longtime friend Kelly Dixon—someone who once managed luxury estates with staff, checklists, and systems that could rival a Fortune 500 company. And even though our lives look very different (hello, special needs parenting and laundry mountains), the way she thinks about managing a household blew me away.

We talked about everything from:

  • Why your brain feels overloaded (spoiler: too much lives in your head)
  • How voice-to-text in Apple Notes can become your new best friend
  • Using Trello to organize your home like a well-run project
  • And yes, why you probably don’t need 14 different bottles of shampoo 🤭

One of my favorite takeaways?
“Once you get the structure out of your brain and into a system, your stress drops—even before anything changes.” 🙌

It was a playful, thoughtful convo with some “oh wow” moments and plenty of laughs. If you’ve been feeling like your house (and head) are in constant catch-up mode, I think you’ll love it.
