She candidly disclosed that she was once burdened with a staggering $150,000 in debt and felt disconnected from both her work and family life.

🏡 Organizing Journeys and Life Impacts

In November 2022, she took the leap to start her business, aiming to help others organize their lives. However, Christina candidly admitted that she faced challenges on the business side. She emphasized her passion for helping people, particularly those grappling with ADHD, and detailed her daily practice of reading, writing, and applying the knowledge she gains.

📦 Organizing Home and Grocery With Dewey App
