Karin and Kristyn wind down the year with a look back at some of the shows that made the biggest impact on them and on you, our listeners!
During the show, we play some of our favorite clips and talk about the impact they have made on us and how they influenced our work as KonMari consultants.
Creating a podcast that focused on the KonMari Method has been our shared vision since the very end of 2016. We spent the first half of 2017 researching, preparing and putting all the pieces together and finally launched on August 31st.
We are so grateful to all of our guests for their talents, wonderful stories and the amazing tips and tools they shared with us.
Our listeners have been amazing. We have learned so much via your questions, comments and feedback. Thank you for being a part of Spark Joy!
