76 | STOP Waiting To Get Organized – Beverly “Pete” Thornton Shares Her Story

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by clutter or stuck in your efforts to get organized, Beverly “Pete” Thornton’s story will speak directly to your heart.

As a member of the Organized Life Academy, Pete shares the real-life challenges she faced and the major wins along the way. From transforming a chaotic multipurpose room into a welcoming space for guests to tackling her office supply obsession (can you relate?), Pete opens up about the emotional process of letting go—especially regarding her grandmother’s and great aunt’s sentimental keepsakes.

With the support of coaching and our community, Pete didn’t just declutter her space—she transformed her mindset. She found freedom in releasing what no longer served her, and in doing so, she made room for what truly matters.

In this episode, you’ll hear how monthly planning, mindset shifts, and the power of community helped Pete create a more harmonious home and life.

She also shared her favorite things about Organized Life Academy and the live event we had in 2024.

[00:00:00] Tracy Hoth: Get ready. If you’ve been wanting to organize, tried different things, struggled, or aren’t making progress, you’ll want to listen to this episode. An Organized Life Academy member, Beverly “Pete” Thornton, is here to share her amazing thoughts, shifts, wins, accomplishments, and her story. I’m thrilled she agreed to do this and was willing to talk about it, sharing with you.

[00:00:28] I hope it serves as the sweetest encouragement to you, wherever you are in your organizing journey. Ready to work less, feel more organized, streamline repetitive tasks, and implement systems that let your coaching business run smoothly, even without you? You’re in the right place.

[00:00:50] Welcome to the Organized Coach Podcast, your go-to source for practical tips and solutions. I’m your host, Tracy Hoth—professional organizer, certified life coach, simplifying expert, and most of all, a coach. Down-to-earth, just like you. Whether you think you’re missing the organizing gene, have ADHD, or simply love organizing, I’m here to help you become an organized coach with a business that works for you.

[00:01:17] Pull up a seat. Let’s get started. This whole month, I’m doing a series on organizing our home and personal life. As I thought about this and the women in Organized Life Academy, I remembered a story one member shared on one of our calls.

[00:01:42] I want to welcome Pete Thornton to the podcast. Pete, why don’t you introduce yourself?

[00:01:49] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Hi, I’m in Phoenix, Arizona. I’m a wife, a mother, and I work outside the home. Life is busy.

[00:01:59] Tracy Hoth: Let’s start with the story you shared on one of our calls. It was so encouraging. It was a coaching call, and you asked to get coached. Tell us about that. Do you remember?

[00:02:11] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I do. I had a productive July, clearing out a room for a guest who was coming for a short stay. It’s a multi-purpose room, always a work in progress. I’ve been trying to declutter it the whole time I’ve been in Organized Life Academy.

[00:02:32] It turned out great. We made space for our family member, and I felt great when it was done, but it took some heavy-duty decluttering, tough decisions. Eventually, she felt welcomed, and I felt successful.

[00:02:50] Tracy Hoth: Oh, I love that. Can we just take a moment to celebrate? You tackled a room you’d been wanting to do for a long time. I love taking time to recognize that accomplishment. You mentioned a productive July, then what?

[00:03:10] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Then, I got stuck. August came and went without taking on any new organizing projects. It felt like I lost steam, and by the second week of September, when we had our coaching call, I knew I was stuck. I wasn’t doing any of the work, and that’s not where I wanted to be. On the call I shared that, saying I felt stuck and didn’t want to stay in that place. I asked you to coach me through it. I even used my obsession with office supplies as an example.

[00:03:51] I had decluttered them once before during another organizing phase. I shared my frustration and even cried a bit because I wasn’t moving forward. When discussing my office supplies, I kept thinking it would be wasteful to get rid of things. What if I needed something I gave away? That kept me from taking any action. You helped me think through why I was stuck and gave me an assignment to work on, which encouraged me to dive into the process.

[00:04:32] After the call, I told my best friend about my struggle. She immediately said, “I’m coming over Saturday for an hour, and we’re going to tackle your office supplies.” Everything in me wanted to say no, but I said yes, even though I didn’t feel like it. She came over, and three hours later, we ended up with a much smaller collection. She even took some supplies for her office, and I had a bag of trash (mostly packaging) plus two bags to donate. I chose to give them to the YMCA after-school program.

[00:05:30] Now, I have a manageable amount of office supplies. I remember one of the things you said, Tracy: “Imagine how good it would feel to use your favorite pens.”

[00:05:52] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I kept thinking that as I sorted through everything. I didn’t need three sets of colored pencils or a pile of Expo markers. It felt freeing in the end. My friend was shocked at the sheer volume, and maybe I was too. We spread a sheet on the floor, laid everything out, and sorted. I kept finding more supplies hidden away.

[00:06:51] As I asked myself questions like “Am I ever going to use this?” and “When was the last time I used it?” I felt like the space we created was in my soul as much as in my house.

[00:07:17] Tracy Hoth: Oh my gosh, there’s the quote for this episode: “The space I created was in my soul as much as in my house.” That is beautiful. There are several important points here. You didn’t hide. You stepped forward, which takes bravery. I’ve been there myself, putting things off, feeling embarrassed because I hadn’t made progress. But just like you, I made myself step forward and face it again.

We all have areas in our life where we feel stuck. It’s important to have a space where we can be real, bring it forward, cry if we need to, and then make progress. I’m glad you shared, and that your friend stepped in to help. Sometimes, even our best friends don’t get to see that side of us, like our stash of office supplies.

[00:08:03] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: My obsession with office supplies.

[00:08:05] I might be a recovering addict of office supplies.

[00:08:07] Tracy Hoth: Yes. There are so many. It’s so fun. When you were little, did you play teacher?

[00:08:12] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Oh, of course. Absolutely. I always wanted to have what was needed for crafts or school projects, or for something I was working on. I’d be at the store and buy things, then realize I might’ve had that already.

[00:08:28] Tracy Hoth: Yeah, that’s good. That reality is common. The other thing that came to mind when you were talking is you had organized your office supplies before and now you’re ready to take the next layer off. I see organizing like an onion with layers. At first, it’s about getting the surface organized.

[00:08:51] The next time, it’s thinking about what we want in our future, how much space we want to take up with certain things, and what we really need. It’s about digging deeper, like you said, into the soul part, versus just learning the steps.

[00:09:12] I’m just learning how to do this, and now we’re going deeper. I don’t know if you felt like this, but when I organized my space, I kept reminding myself, I can keep things and hoard them in case I need them, or I can think about someone else using these things right now, letting go, being generous, and trusting that if I need it later, I’ll have it. That mindset helped me. Do you consider yourself an organized person?

[00:09:58] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I do think of myself as organized by nature. However, I’ve always struggled with having more things than space, leading to overflowing areas in my home. I’d hold onto things “just in case” I might need them. I was always searching for a better way to gain access instead of doing the work of purging. I thought maybe another pretty box would make me feel more organized.

[00:10:28] I’ve learned that I’m a messy worker. While I work, my desk is covered in stuff, but at the end of the day, I clean it up. If someone asks me for something, I can find it on my desk. I may not look organized, but as long as no one touches my things, I know where everything is.

[00:10:52] Tracy Hoth: It’s true. The definition of organized is knowing what we have, where it is, and being able to find it when needed. It doesn’t have to look like someone else’s system. We all make messes. We’ll be busy, unload things, and have stuff in various places. The key is being able to easily put it away because it has a designated spot.

[00:11:35] You say you generally clean off your desk and know where things are. So, you do think of yourself as organized, but you also have a lot of stuff, right?

[00:12:02] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I have more things than fit. That’s where I’d feel disorganized—when things didn’t have a home, even if I could find them. It was messy or stacked, which made me feel disorganized.

[00:12:26] I realized I needed to learn to let go and declutter, making it easier to use and find what I have. Plus, there’s a peacefulness that comes from not having stacks or opening a drawer and having things fall out.

[00:12:50] Tracy Hoth: More people are organized than they think; they just have too much stuff. Even as an organizer, I’ve struggled with this. There’s just too much to fit and maintain order.

[00:13:13] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: That was probably my biggest challenge—maintaining it. If friends came over, I’d think, “I need to move this stuff,” because I didn’t want them to see it. Sometimes I’d put it out of sight, filling up a closet, or I’d have to bring it back out because I needed it. Now, I’m working on getting rid of enough things so everything has a home, and I don’t just hide it.

[00:13:51] Tracy Hoth: Right, and it has to fit within our homes. Dana White wrote about this in one of her books. The house is the container for our things, and we need to fit our belongings into that container.

[00:14:45] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: That was a key thought for me after reading her book. I have a small home, which means a small container. I need to live within that space instead of acting like I have a big container.

[00:15:11] Tracy Hoth: That’s good. What made you want to get organized initially? And how did you find Organized Life Academy?

[00:15:22] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I was tired of feeling overwhelmed by all the stuff and constantly trying to find better ways to store it. I wanted my home to run more smoothly and feel peaceful, spacious, and ready for company anytime. I didn’t want to panic if someone knocked on the door.

[00:16:04] I actually found you through an article on Proverbs 31—no, Club 31 Women, that’s it. At the end of 2020, after living at home 24/7, working from home, I visited your Simply Squared Away website. You were about to launch Organized Life Academy, and I was intrigued by the mindset aspect you were emphasizing.

[00:16:48] I decided to do it for myself. It was time to get serious about this, and I was worth the investment. I obviously believed that since I’ve kept signing up each year.

[00:17:12] Tracy Hoth: Now we have such a great community. It’s like we want to stay here and keep growing.

[00:17:17] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: It’s been a fun part for me, getting to know everyone and following each other’s stories, challenges, and struggles. I always think, “I don’t want to let go of these people” when I consider whether to join again.

[00:18:05] Tracy Hoth: You’ve said mindset is key for you. Can you share some things you’re learning?

[00:18:18] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I’m learning to use a process for sorting, purging, assigning homes, setting limits, and maintaining. When we do our planning calls, you have us apply this to our monthly plan, which has helped me. It took a couple of tries to understand how to use it to plan my time.

[00:19:04] Tracy Hoth: To plan your time?

[00:19:06] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Yes, and it’s also given me permission to let go of things that I don’t have time for or don’t want to do. It’s taken away the pressure of those things. In the room we’re working on each month, I can sort out what’s not going to happen and what I don’t care about, then put the things I want to do on my calendar.

[00:19:18] Okay. In this room that we’re working on this month, I’ve got all these things. I sort them out, then I purge. It’s what’s not going to happen or what I don’t really care about. I can put those items I do want to do onto my calendar. That’s been super helpful. I have been most successful in the months that I’ve done that.

[00:19:43] When I don’t, it doesn’t happen.

[00:19:47] Tracy Hoth: That’s why I keep the planning call because I feel like, yes, people can tell themselves to plan, but if you don’t plan, having that time set aside—like, okay, I’m going to show up, we’re going to plan—gives you a better chance of success, obviously. You’re seeing that.

[00:20:07] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Yeah, for sure. One of the other things that has been a real growth area for me is learning to let go. We had such a great guest speaker earlier this year around April about letting go, asking myself if and how I’m using something, and learning to trust that I’ll have what I need when I need it.

[00:20:30] Realizing that I rarely think about the things I’ve let go unless I purposely think about them. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

[00:20:40] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: That’s been good for me for sure. The things I’ve decluttered, including the sentimental items, are often harder to let go of. That’s been really good.

[00:20:53] Tracy Hoth: Well, it’s good too for everyone to see what other people are saying. Others say, “I let go of that, and I haven’t even thought about it,” and then someone else will say, “Oh, I let go of that; I haven’t thought of that,” you know? You keep building up this evidence all around us that people are letting go, and they’re not thinking about it.

[00:21:14] You realize you’re doing that.

[00:21:16] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: It’s good to have my own evidence because when I come up to something new I need to decide on, I have to remind myself, “Remember you let go of, and really have you missed it?” That has been a real growth area, just learning to let go.

[00:21:34] Tracy Hoth: You mentioned the guest speaker. We have a guest speaker every month.

[00:21:37] This year we started that, and I have loved it. It is so fun. I’m learning so much from the guest experts on different topics. Yeah, it’s been good.

[00:21:48] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Also, it’s coming to the realization that being organized and having a peaceful, simple home is more about my mindset. Then it is about how I store what I have. In the beginning of Organized Life Academy, the mindset work just didn’t really resonate with me.

[00:22:08] I wasn’t quite getting it. Because I stuck with the program and listened to the coaching models where you went through intentional and unintentional models with someone while doing thought models and different things like that. When I allowed myself to be coached and used those practices, I could see and feel a shift in my thinking.

[00:22:35] That began to show a difference in how I was able to get a project done, whether it was a monthly project or a small thing I had chosen to do. I was using what I learned, and I could see it. It definitely makes a difference.

[00:22:55] Tracy Hoth: Is there any thought that you have or any area where a shift stands out?

[00:23:04] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I think probably the one that makes the biggest impact for me would be when we do an unintentional/intentional model and realize that something is just a fact. My feelings are driven by my thoughts, and my actions and results come from that. When I stop and look at that, I ask, “What am I thinking?”

[00:23:34] Not creating what I want, then I turn that around and say, “Okay, how can I think about this?” I love the way when you coach us, you say, “What if it’s not?” When we say something, like I say, “I have a small home,” you said to me once, “What if it’s not? What if someone would look at your home and say it’s not a small home? They’d love to have a home your size.” Those kinds of things make you stop and think, “Oh, okay, let me think about that differently.” Then you begin to feel differently, and I can produce different actions and results. That’s probably the most significant thing that I’ve taken away regarding mindset.

[00:24:18] Tracy Hoth: It’s so cool because it’s real in you. You just taught the model, and you explained it perfectly.

[00:24:27] You could think of models in your head and see them on the board as we’ve done them in calls. That is so fun. I’m just so proud of your consistency sticking with it. Saying it didn’t really make sense in the beginning, but you stuck it out, and now it’s like shifted your whole outlook.

[00:24:52] I know. What is the word? Home, life, outlook. Yeah.

[00:24:57] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Outlook, I think, is good. I feel like it’s helped me not just in organizing, but in other areas. If I have a relationship issue or anything like that, I can use thoughts. In fact, you did coaching recently where you coached somebody through a situation with their work and their thoughts about it and their feelings about it.

[00:25:21] It was just so good. I like to think about how you can use these mindset things in a different way. Yeah, and just be beneficial.

[00:25:33] Tracy Hoth: Yeah, for sure. When I talk about organizing our businesses, I think, “Oh, that overflows into your whole life.” But you talk about organizing and the mindset piece of it.

[00:25:44] You start by wanting to organize your home, but that mindset piece overflows into your whole life.

[00:25:51] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: It really has.

[00:25:53] Tracy Hoth: Okay. Tell me some of your wins. I

[00:25:55] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: want to hear your wins. Okay. Letting go of items that were my grandmothers and my beloved great aunts took up valuable space, valuable real estate.

[00:26:06] I was keeping them for sentimental reasons, even though they didn’t really fit into my lifestyle or style. That mindset work we’ve been talking about helped me let go of those things. I still have my memories of both of them, but I don’t have to hold on to their things. That was a win for me.

[00:26:26] Tracy Hoth: The memory is not in the stuff. Someone said that, and it was like, “Oh,” I think that was Amelia Pleasant Kennedy. She shared that on the call as a guest expert.

[00:26:38] Turning that catch-all room from clutter to a space that feels welcoming—someone could stay in and not just be squeezed into a room with all my junk.

[00:26:51] Tracy Hoth: Oh, and then using your house as a ministry, as a gift to others to have that space now available. Love it.

[00:26:51] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: That feels like a win and something that’s been high on my list for a long time. There’s still more work to do, but that’s okay. There’s always more work to do. One of my other wins would be having my husband tell me he can tell a difference. When we started, we did the kitchen. He enjoys cooking and does most of it in our household, which is a blessing to me. We went through it together, and he helped decide what we use and what our favorites are as we sorted and what we could give away. Bringing him into the mix in an area where he had a vested interest helped him see that the Academy was worth the time and money spent. He supports me in it even if he doesn’t totally understand.

[00:27:56] Tracy Hoth: That’s a blessing right there—to have the support of someone, because many people don’t. What a gift; that’s sweet of him.

[00:28:05] I like him. I’ve never met him. I think I’m going to keep him.

[00:28:08] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: It’s been 42 years. I think he’s a keeper.

[00:28:11] Tracy Hoth: Oh, that’s great. It’s fun to hear your wins. Those are just some of them—the big ones.

[00:28:19] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: There are definitely more pets. That’s a few.

[00:28:21] Tracy Hoth: I love it. Okay. I wanted to mention that this year, 2024, we had a live event.

[00:28:28] We had our first live event, and you came. I just wanted to see, and you got coached. I think everyone was able to get coached at that event, but you got coached. It was so good. What takeaways do you have from the live event?

[00:28:43] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: First of all, I was excited to go because having been in the academy for three years at that point.

[00:28:49] I wanted to meet the women we’d been Zooming with because they felt like friends. Those of us who were there really are friends now. That was really fun seeing you face to face because we’ve shared our joys, emotions, and challenges. We’ve celebrated our wins together.

[00:29:09] I was excited to go and a little nervous because you’re going to a place where you really don’t know people. They tell you, you don’t really know the people on social media, but this is more than social media, and people are

[00:29:25] Tracy Hoth: flying in. You flew to Kansas City from Arizona.

[00:29:29] There was someone who flew from Canada, and two people drove from Minnesota. What? I don’t know where else. There were a few people in Kansas City, but Nevada. Yes.

[00:29:41] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Was somebody from California?

[00:29:43] Tracy Hoth: Wyoming. Yeah. Barb’s in Wyoming. I’m sure we’ve missed someone, but it was so fun.

[00:29:49] People are flying in, and I don’t think any of, oh, two of them met. They were strangers when they started Organized Life Academy too, but they traveled and met up together. Other than that, I don’t think anybody had met each other. It is scary. It’s like putting yourself out there to go to this event, and you’ve never met someone in person.

[00:30:10] It was fun.

[00:30:11] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: It was fun. It really was fun. Not only was it fun; it was productive. It was beneficial. We went through workshops, which provided a concentrated time to work through different things. You brought things together and had us work. We had journaling, which I think is really good. The whole thing gave me a renewed commitment.

[00:30:37] When I returned home, I decided to just keep going and do the work. I’ll tell you the big revelation for me was when we did my model, and we did the loosening thought model. My big thing is I’m an obsessive reader, often reading two to four books a week. As we talked about that, I knew it was keeping me from doing things I wanted to do in my home to create the environment I wanted for my family. I really realized how sad that was. That’s the feeling I got when we talked about it. I felt sad that I would put my desire to read above my family and the home I wanted.

[00:31:34] After going through that, I cut back on my reading dramatically. It’s been good because I’m not reading. I can do little projects, even if it’s cleaning out a drawer, instead of picking up a book to read. It’s not that I don’t still read; I definitely do, but not as obsessively.

[00:31:57] That came out of doing the loosening thought model.

[00:32:00] Tracy Hoth: Yeah. We did your before model, your unintentional model, then we loosened that thought up, and then we created an intentional model. You decided, while getting coached, how many books you wanted to read.

[00:32:16] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I said, no more than two weeks. I’m doing it. It’s been great.

[00:32:24] Tracy Hoth: Remember your thought in that model, like your intentional thought?

[00:32:28] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I want to create the home that I want for my family. That’s my thought.

[00:32:33] Tracy Hoth: Mm-Hmm.

[00:32:34] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Reading keeps me from doing that.

[00:32:38] Tracy Hoth: Mm-Hmm.

[00:32:39] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: Reading excessively keeps me from doing that.

[00:32:41] Tracy Hoth: Right. Ooh, that’s good. Yeah.

[00:32:43] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: That was good. I think my favorite part in the end was the letter we wrote to our future self.

You had us take the time to really be specific and write to our future self. You took those letters and mailed them to us several months later. When I got mine in the mail, it was a nice little surprise. I had forgotten what I’d written, and it was so sweet. It just blessed me. It was a letter to myself.

[00:33:20] Tracy Hoth: It’s so nice to ourselves. It’s such a blessing. Why aren’t we nice to ourselves more often?

[00:33:27] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: It was really great. If I can, I would go again.

[00:33:33] Tracy Hoth: Ooh, I know. We’ll see. Okay. in Organized Life Academy, let’s just close by asking, is there something that’s your favorite part, or what would you say to someone who wants to get organized?

[00:33:49] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I especially like the coaching calls where you walk us through challenges, mapping out the models and all of that. Learning to plan has been great.

I like being coached, but I always learn when you coach someone else. There’s always something in that, either an aha moment for me or, gee, I should think about that for myself.

[00:34:17] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I could use that in a situation. That’s one of my favorites—when you do that coaching. Seeing the community of women on the calls is important. As I said, making connections with these like-minded women who want to create a home that feels right to us. We’re committed to that. I loved the year we did book club because I’m a reader.

[00:34:31] Tracy Hoth: I know. I was thinking about that this year. I don’t know if I want to do a book every month for 2025, but what if we did one every other month? There is one sitting here that I think would be great to start with.

[00:34:54] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I think some of them, because it’s been a couple of years, I would reread and probably get something different out of them. That’s a part of it too. What is the art of death cleaning?

[00:35:08] Tracy Hoth: The Swedish art of

[00:35:10] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: death cleaning. That, when I think about it, it’s so funny. Dana White’s books? Yes, I am sentimental.

[00:35:21] Yes, those were great. I really enjoyed that, getting an author’s different take on organizing, and choosing just something like a container. Yes, you have a container. You can only keep what fits in the container. That’s a key thing. I also really like the monthly assignments. One year you left it to us to choose whatever we wanted.

[00:35:46] For me, I felt less focused; I needed somebody to give me direction.

[00:35:52] Tracy Hoth: I always like, just tell me what to do. I’ll do that.

[00:35:56] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: It was better for me when you came back to giving us a specific assignment. This year, you added the calendar with suggestions, and that’s been really fun to mark off things I don’t need to do and have a win.

[00:36:11] Tracy Hoth: Yeah. Just to have very specific tasks to do in an area.

[00:36:11] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: That’s been really good, and I’ve liked that quite a bit. The mindset work—I’ve said this already, but I feel like that’s been the most beneficial for me personally, all the way around.

That’s something you include every month. There’s something for us to think about, something for us to shift, and just practice.

[00:36:38] Tracy Hoth: You basically listed every aspect of it. They’re all your favorites.

[00:36:43] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: They’re all my favorites. Did I mention I love Organized Life Academy? I love it. If someone’s struggling with organizing, or they have clutter overload, like I do, or they want to simplify their home, I’d encourage them to join Organize Life Academy.

[00:37:00] Because we do have a community of like-minded women. They’re going to cheer you on. You’ll start learning the new mindset and skills to let go, declutter, organize, and change emotionally. They can be freed up, not just physically from stuff, but emotionally too. I think that’s been super helpful for me.

[00:37:24] All that excess stuff keeps you from having the life you want to live.

[00:37:28] Tracy Hoth: If you show up to the calls, do the work, and engage with the group, I think they’ll find that the money spent and the time invested is well worth the value they get from it.

[00:37:39] Tracy Hoth: Yeah, you said you had tried to get organized. You’d been trying to organize or whatever, you know, I think one of the big things I hear is, “I should be able to do this.” I should be able to do this on my own, or your spouse or someone in your life will say, “Oh, you can do that. You should be able to do that.” That’s one of the things—why? Why do we tell ourselves that we should be able to do it?

Do what it takes, get into a community, have support, follow some steps, learn the skills, practice the skills, so that you can do it and have victory in that area. I invite people that are listening, get on the waitlist. We open the doors on October 29th. We’ll have some special bonuses if you’re on the waitlist.

Pete, I want to say thank you so much first for coming on, but thank you for really being open and vulnerable, sharing your story and parts of your story.

[00:38:49] It was really good. I really, really appreciate you. You’re welcome. You have inspired me. You’re going to inspire many.

[00:38:57] Beverly “Pete” Thornton: I hope that it makes a difference for someone because it certainly has for me.
