Have you ever asked yourself Why Should I Get Organized?, Why is Getting Organized so Hard?, How Should I Get Organized?, or How Do I Involve/Teach My Kids? Angela O’Brien, Professional Organizer and Certified Enneagram Coach at Your Space Reclaimed will answer those questions and more during this informational session. Angela will discuss the benefits of organization for you and your kids and explain the types of clutter (physical, mental, and calendar) in our lives. She will also lead attendees through the steps to getting organized and strategies for staying organized, including some of her favorite products and resources.

About the Presenter:
Angela is a wife, mother of two, professional organizer and certified Enneagram coach.

After college and graduate school, Angela spent time at several Fortune 500 companies in various sales, marketing, and brand management roles. When her daughter was born with Down syndrome, she made the switch to stay-at-home mom to focus on her daughter’s extra needs.

Thirteen years later, her family again experienced multiple life transitions all at once. Feeling a bit lost and unsure of her next steps amid all the sudden changes in her life, a friend suggested she look into the Enneagram.  This prompted Angela to begin a journey of self-awareness and reflection that helped her realize, finally at 51, the gifts she had to share with the world. 

In 2021, Angela started a professional organizing business and became an Enneagram coach.  She loved doing both and saw so much overlap that she has now combined them into one business, Your Space Reclaimed, where Angela speaks to and coaches busy women through their clutter so that they can reclaim the space, freedom, and energy to do the things they love to do. 

Angela currently lives in Dallas, TX with her husband of 25 years.  Their son is in college in California, but they still keep busy with their 18 year old daughter and two spoiled dogs. Angela has volunteered in various roles at the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas since 2005.  Currently, she loves to hold precious babies when she meets with new parents at the Down Syndrome Clinic at Children’s Hospital in Dallas and serves on the Board of Directors at her daughter’s beloved school, the Notre Dame School of Dallas.
