create and keep a fabulously simple home and the extraordinary life that comes with it.
We help Type-A,
perfectionist women
TAKE The Quiz
Type-A Lazy Girl is all about simplifying your home without lowering your fabulously high standards.
This means your space makes your daily life a bit easier and doesn't cause a panic attack anytime a charging cable is left on the counter or a pillow is left in dire need of a karate chop.
Supporting women in creating a beautiful home and life they love.
"We're taught that everything deserves our constant best or else the world will fall apart, which is total B.S."
Your perfectionism is your superpower (NOT a horrific trait you have to cut out of your life like that awful ex-boyfriend).
When you learn to aim it, you make intentional decisions, repeat them often, and you let the little things just be.
We keep things very simple around here.
There's no cutting corners, losing sleep, or any of that nonsense. Standards remain sky high but how we live them is a bit different because sometimes good enough is good enough.
And that's just...fabulous.
We know no one is coming to save us and that completely changing how we think about our homes, lives, and OURSELVES is not an easy or comfortable task.
But in true Type-A perfectionist form, we go ALL IN on this way of life, and we go 60% in on some of the finer details (wink).
The Type-A Lazy Girl Life is for you if...
You crave help and results in your home now, not six months from now, without deep psychology exercises, never-ending courses, or massive renovations.

DISCLAIMER: Type-A Lazy Girls Own Their SH*T.
You've tried the planners, meditations, redecorating, life coaches, career coaches, and so much more yet you always end up right back at square one (and more exhausted for it).
You crave help and results in your home now, not six months from now, without deep psychology exercises, never-ending courses, or massive renovations.
Your home doesn't feel like you but can't figure out what's missing.
You need the permission and the know-how to stop white-knuckling through life and stop losing sleep over stupid stuff that doesn't deserve your worry.
You live very area of your life at 100% (or more) and you're, stressed, tired, and running on empty because of it.

Your spaces look and feel like you (and not a fantasy version of yourself and your life).
Your stuff serves your life, instead of ruling it, with intention, beauty, and purpose.
Your home functions smoothly, without you anxiously fussing over everything every day.
You know, with unwavering certainty, that you deserve a beautiful space that makes your big, full, extraordinary life possible.
The ability to stop giving 100+% to things that deserve 60% and save the good stuff for what needs it.
Support in comfortably saying no without apologizing, asking for help without guilt, and letting some things be perfectly imperfect on purpose.
A way to use your perfectionism as the superpower it always was, just finally aimed in the right direction and without the stress, frustration, and exhaustion carried from your space into your life.
The capacity to create, innovate, and lead at work; connect, nurture, and have fun with your people; and live your purpose while building an incredible, meaningful legacy.

Hey there, gorgeous!
Meet THE founder & CEO:
the original Type-A Lazy Girl
Welcome to this amazing community of women we're building!
I started Type-A Lazy Girl to help high-achieving women, like you, create and keep a fabulously simple home and the extraordinary life that comes with it.
I know how it feels to aim that perfectionist superpower everywhere thinking you’ll earn a trophy for going all-in on everything all the time.
I’m a Gen X change strategist and consultant (and life-long perfectionist, obvi) who has spent 26 years inside Fortune 500 companies guiding complex, multi-billion dollar business transformations. I know change, what makes it stick, and I know what keeps brilliant, capable people from getting there even when they want it more than anything.
I truly believe you can reclaim your perfectionism as the amazing superpower it is, simplify your home without lowering your fabulously high standards, and create the life you want without the stress and exhaustion that comes from Type-A-ing all the time.
This is the Type-A Lazy Girl, perfectly imperfect life I live every single day and I'm on a mission to help other women live it, too. Let me help you simplify your home and tap into a community that will change your life in the most beautiful ways.
You don’t have to sacrifice your sanity for a beautiful home that requires (relatively) little effort and that makes the wonderful life you’re living possible.
xo, Melissa
