Meet Mika Perry

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mika Perry.

Mika, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I’ve pivoted careers several times – with previous roles in wealth management, elementary education, and running a professional organizing business. Each of these careers strengthened my skills in time management, organization, managing people, and teaching what I know to others.

I decided to step away from my professional organizing business in 2016 to become a stay at home mom. I found myself craving a creative outlet, and began to share my personal home organization on Instagram and on my blog. This quickly transitioned into a lifestyle brand and blog, where I enjoy sharing about health, family, faith, organizing, and travel! I love to share and utilize my creativity in a variety of ways, create community, and promote positivity in everyday living.

Has it been a smooth road?
It has not always been a smooth road, which makes me feel immense gratitude toward where me and my family are today! My husband and I built a healthy, happy, thriving life that we love, but that hasn’t come without challenges and road bumps. Right after our first daughter was born, I discovered my husband was having an affair. He was in the middle of a failing business and was struggling in many areas of his life. It shook my whole world, but Russ was immediately remorseful and decided to quit drinking in his pursuit to turn his life around and change the future of our family tree. Russ and I have chosen to be very open about this part of our story and even covered it in our first ever podcast episode. We want others to know what we’ve been through, and that it is possible to recover, and even thrive, after challenging seasons of life.

We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I run a lifestyle brand, blog, and podcast focused on helping women live a beautiful, happy, organized, and well-traveled life. I am especially known for sharing tips and tricks on getting and staying organized- both in the home (this is where my past experience as a professional organizer comes in) and in everyday routines. I’m all about helping people organize and simplify their lives so they can focus on what’s important! I am most proud of the community Russ and I have built through our podcast, Good To Be Home. We love sharing about our lives- from small things like my beauty routine to heavier topics like our path to sobriety and how we strengthen our marriage.

What are you striving for, what criteria or markers have you set as indicators of success?
I am a huge believer in setting goals for yourself in all areas of life, personally and professionally, and using them as drivers to learn and grow as a person. But success to me is when you have a peace and contentment within yourself and have arrived at a place where you can live a deliberate and purposeful life.
