Meet Cathy Orr
I own The Uncluttered Life, Inc. and Life Hack Decks® with my daughter. I am a mom of two adult children, grandma, cat mom, wife, daughter, sister and close friend.

All these things got me where I am today.

I have been practicing the art of simplified living for many years. In the course of doing so, I became a professional organizer through Marie Kondo (KonMari Method®). I have also paid a lot of attention to and follow Karen Kingston. Karen is focused on decluttering and the effects decluttering and letting go have on a person’s energy.

Conversations With Cathy Orr and Danica Carson
I became a Marie Kondo consultant in September 2019, and since that time have risen from the “green” level to Certified Master. A certified Master is the culmination of client hours equal to 1500+hours of organizing. In fact, I have many more than the 1500 required for this certification. I have been organizing, in one form or another for the past twenty years.
