In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and reintroducing the guy behind the nickname. From being called “Tidy Dad” at the dentist’s office to writing a bestselling book that came out of a mental health breakdown, it’s been a wild ride. I’ll walk you through:
* My backstory (hi, I’m Tyler—aka Tidy Dad)
* Fast facts from my life as a NYC teacher, dad of three, and Enneagram 7
* What Tidy Up Your Life is actually about (spoiler: it’s not just about closets)
* Why I believe tidying is more than just the aesthetics of your home—it’s about making space for what matters
* The propaganda I am falling for in 2025 (Saint Dolly, surthrival, and “Skies out, thighs out”)
Whether you’re new here or you’ve been following since the beginning (circa 2019), this episode is your intro to what Tidy Tidbits is all about—and why tidying isn’t about perfection, it’s about possibility.
