Small Business Voice_Declutter with Dawn

On this episode of Small Business Voice with Jeanette Forni, Jeanette welcomes Dawn and her husband, Ronnie, to the iHeart Studios in Modesto. Dawn calls herself a two-time stroke warrior. After her second stroke in 2021, doctors told her she would never walk or talk again. She spent two months in the hospital, alone because of COVID restrictions. After coming home, she and Ronnie put in ten months of therapy. She started Declutter with Dawn, a business built on years of training and a lifelong knack for organizing.

Dawn shares:

  • Why she earned three professional organizing certifications, plus a life coaching certification specializing in trauma

  • Why she works in short sessions to avoid decision fatigue

  • How she helps clients through downsizing, whole-house resets, ADHD-friendly organizing, craft rooms, and more

  • Why she never makes a client throw away something they’re attached to

Ronnie, a former photographer and business owner himself, talks about being her biggest supporter. Jeanette also encourages listeners who are afraid to start a business to go toward that fear.
