Hi everyone, I’m Monica Argandoña, and welcome back to Path Found.
Today’s guest, Kristina Marler, shows us that sometimes the path forward starts with cleaning out more than a closet — it starts with clearing space for a new chapter.

Kristina’s story begins with a dream of teaching, a homemade fortune cookie she once mailed to Martha Stewart, and a whirlwind career in New York’s high-end event world. But after becoming a mother and stepping away from the workforce, she faced the question so many women do: how do I start again — on my own terms?

What began as helping a friend unpack during the pandemic turned into a thriving business, Neat Freak SoCal, where Kristina helps people simplify their homes — and often, their lives.

We talk about creativity, courage, and how taking chances (and even stepping back) can open doors you didn’t know existed. Kristina reminds us that you’re never starting over — you’re just bringing all your experiences forward into something new.
