Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s episode is all about the other “Big O” and why it’s important to get organized in midlife with Gayle Gruenberg.
Gayle is a woman in the middle entrepreneur who specializes in serving clients who are living with Chronic Disorganization. This interview was originally featured in Episode 27 of the podcast, Women in the Middle Entrepreneurs: The Reality of Running a Business in Midlife, published on June 4, 2024.
Before becoming a PO (professional organizer) Gail was a Certified Public Accountant, and she was not happy…in fact, she was miserable.
I love interviewing women like Gayle who have the courage to listen to that whisper about what it is that they really want in their lives and act on it. It can be so difficult to honor yourself like this. Because so many people have regrets that they didn’t allow themselves to be happy. You’ll also hear this part of her story. This just breaks my heart.
You’re going to love hearing Gayle’s story about not only her personal journey to finding her purpose, but also how she helps amazing women with organizing in midlife.
Please enjoy this interview.
