Preview

Home continues to be the place where many of our listeners find common ground. Keeping the home clean and organized is important not only to our listeners but to people all around the world. One of the most influential people in 2015 by Time magazine is a cleaning expert. In the story “Could Organizing Your Home Change Your Life?” we share Marie Kondo’s advice. Kondo got everyone talking about getting rid of anything in your life that does not “bring joy.” Her name became a movement and it even became a verb. Social media was alive with the question, “Do you Kondo?” At the heart of being human is perhaps trying to make the happiest life possible. For those who may not feel secure or confident that is sometimes not easy. That is again where our listeners from different backgrounds and different languages met. Many listeners found Amy Cuddy’s research in the story, “Your Body Posture Can Change Your Brain” helpful and interesting.
