It’s Time You Met :: Monika Nielsen
Pop quiz: if you had to describe your closet in 3 words, would any of them be “messy”?!“ (be honest - you’re not alone!) If so - you really need to meet Monika Nielsen. Monika is a closet organizer who brings calm to the chaos that may be living there, but her style is way more Oprah than Marie Kondo. Read on to learn about the heart + soul of Your Closet Rehabist, and then reach out to find out how she can help you in person or even virtually.
THE INTERVIEW:
Q: What makes you different from everyone else out there who does what you do?
A: I believe there is a place for memories and we honor those. I do not have a slash and burn mentality around organizing! I have a strong belief that the clothing you are ready to let go of can serve others in the community, so I will always donate to smaller nonprofits. You can be sure that we sort it out and set you up efficiently to get ready in 10 minutes-feeling fiercely confident and supremely beautiful!
Q: What is the single most important factor to your business success?
A: Listening and encouraging. Closets are an emotionally messy place (way more than physically messy sometimes!) I help you walk through the "why" of what your keeping, what's holding you back and encouraging you that you are worth showing up for every day!
Q: What are your thoughts on work/life balance? What does that mean to you?
A: Not a fan of the word balance. I like the infinity sign and visualize it often as I bounce between work life/mom life/teacher life/wife life/friend life/community giver life. I mean c'mon, there isn't enough time to do it all and be good at anything! So I try to live between peaceful and diligent. (My two words this year! :-)
THE QUICK + DIRTY:
Favorite TV Series You've Binged: It's a tie between Schitts Creek and Parks and Rec.
Favorite Place To Shop: Local clothing boutiques for the win!!
Favorite Thing To Cook: I make an excellent Thai Coconut Curry Soup (if I do say so myself-haha)
Favorite Makeup Item: Mascara, hands down my deserted island item!
Favorite Podcast: Besides the obvious "She Sells/He Sells' :-), I love "Sharon Says So" because I am such a history nerd!
