Meet Brooke & Amanda
We are two organization-loving friends sharing tips, strategies, and real-life experiences (and fails!) of trying to be Good Enough-ish™… as busy, tired, flawed people, attempting to keep it all together.
We bring our unique professions, experiences, and personalities to the table to help you achieve good enough-ish-ness, too — while adding a little levity to the common threads we all share in this wild ride called adulthood. On each episode we jump in with a relevant topic or issue we’re both facing… and ultimately evolve into banter, semi-related tangents, and lots of laughter.
Brooke Forry
Brooke is a graphic designer, entrepreneur, and podcaster who loves seeking new creative pursuits (and the perfect slice of pizza). In 2010, Brooke co-founded Curious & Co. Creative, a boutique branding design firm where she is still the Creative Director. She loves working with her business partner, Terry, to create striking visual brands that help small businesses stand out from the crowd. Her work has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, awarded a Best of Philly award by Philadelphia Magazine, and won a Philadelphia Design Award from AIGA Philadelphia.
In 2019, combining her design background with her lifelong love of stationery and planners, Brooke spearheaded the launch of the Balance Bound Planner, a line of paper products that help busy people get organized and prioritize self-care.
As an anxious Type A perfectionist, Brooke has found that having organizational systems in place for her personal and professional life — combined with prioritizing self-care practices after years of burnout — are integral to managing her anxiety and showing up as a better version of herself for everyone in her life.
Brooke’s expertise in design means that she brings a unique, design-centric approach to organizing her life and finding creative ways to be Good Enough-ish.
In her spare time, Brooke can be found baking, reading, taking in musical theatre, listening to podcasts and memoirs, or binge-watching her “stories” while staying up too late. She is also often carting her two adorable kids around to dance class and baseball practice in her beloved small town of Media, Pennsylvania.

Amanda is the owner of Indigo Organizing, the creator of the Get It Done Club, and one of the world’s first KonMari consultants.

In Amanda’s well-loved weekly email, called Amanda’s Top 3, she shares bite-sized tips to make your life a little easier and your days a little brighter.
Her brand-new Get It Done Club is a super fun, weekly online accountability group for people who want a little extra support getting things done.
When/if she finds time to relax, you can find her reading a book in Cozytown (aka bed), sitting in an Adironack chair by the firepit, or hanging out in West Chester, PA (or back in her old digs of Media with Brooke and the Mom Squad.) She has one daughter, one husband (just one for now — he’s our producer!), an adorable Cavalier dog named Junebug and two adorable kitties.
