This event has passed. You can watch the replay below! Does your partner’s stuff drive you crazy? Or maybe your kids leave things out all over the place as a visual cue? Is your partner a militant minimalist and you’d like to see your maximalist aesthetic respected?  We’ll delve into the dynamic of opposites attracting and exploring the art of sharing spaces. Whether it's between couples, family members, or housemates, this virtual workshop will provide insights into maintaining harmony in environments where minimalists and maximalists coexist. Featuring Karen Chenier, a seasoned therapist from Leading Light Counseling, the session will cover essential topics such as setting boundaries, fostering respectful communication, and other practical tools to bridge the gap between sparse and abundant living styles. Come prepared to learn, share your experiences, and ask questions. This is a perfect opportunity to gain perspective on balancing personal preferences in shared spaces, ensuring everyone feels at home. Whether you lean towards minimalism or love to embrace maximalism, this event promises to offer strategies that help everyone live together more peacefully and productively.  General description:  Our “Ask the Organizer” series is a forum where you can ask Big Rocks founder and Certified Professional Organizer (CPO©), Whitney Zeigler, and special guests your burning organizing questions!
