Conversations with Melissa Smith

Today we’d like to introduce you to Melissa Smith.

Hi Melissa, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
Hi there! I am Melissa, owner and organizing consultant at Neatly Done.  I was born and raised in Minnesota and moved to Nashville a little over two years ago.  I have always had a passion for helping others and for creating functional and beautiful living spaces. My journey began as a clinical social worker, were I was able to help individuals and families navigate challenging situations and improve their daily lives. However, after several years of working in social services, I realized that my true calling was in home organization. As a wife and mother of two boys, I understand the daily challenges of balancing family life, work, and household responsibilities. With my passion for organization and my experience as a clinical social worker, I decided to start Neatly Done Organizing to help people declutter, streamline, and simplify their lives in a more direct and tangible way. My goal is to empower clients to live a more organized, stress-free, and fulfilling life.

We all face challenges, but would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?

Moving across the country, changing careers, and supporting a family during a pandemic was incredibly challenging, but I had the determination to overcome these struggles and come out even stronger on the other side. With hard work, patience, and a positive attitude, I’ve been able build a better life for myself and my loved ones.

As I have settled into my new town, I am reminded that the decision to uproot my family and take a chance to pursue a lifelong passion has been well worth it. My community is supportive, my children are thriving, and I am 100% committed to growing Neatly Done into a successful small business.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My dedication to helping others is at the heart of everything I do! I take pride in my work and am dedicated to delivering the highest level of service to my clients. I don’t think I would be where I am today without my drive and determination, but even more importantly, the love and support of my family and friends.
