Episode 58: Christy Linn: Management Consultant to Home Organizing Entrepreneur
In this episode of Clocking Out, we meet Christy Linn, founder of Second Nature Home Organizing, whose career journey proves that some of the biggest pivots happen quietly, one small decision at a time.
Christy grew up just outside Baltimore in a close-knit childhood shaped by sports, Girl Scouts, and weekends with family. Her mom stayed home when she was young and later rediscovered her own passion as a school photographer. Her dad was an accountant, and the path he modeled was simple and practical: go to school, study the thing, then go do the job. That mindset stuck with Christy early on.
In high school, she decided she would become a lawyer and never looked back. She joined a mock trial, loved reading, writing, and debating, and headed to Syracuse with a clear plan. But during college, after studying abroad, something shifted. She realized law was not the future she wanted after all, and suddenly she had no backup plan. That uncertainty created real tension, especially with her dad, who worried she would graduate with a liberal arts degree and be unemployable.
Determined to prove she could still build a stable career, Christy leaned into recruiting and landed a job offer with Accenture before graduation, a turning point that eased her dad’s fears. From there, she spent years in consulting, including a long chapter at Booz Allen.
As she became a mom, the pressure of balancing career demands with family life grew heavier, especially in roles with little flexibility. Eventually, Christy made a choice many people don’t talk about openly: she stepped away from the corporate world, not to jump into another job, but to fully step into life at home. For a season, it worked beautifully.
Until life changed again.
A cross-country move during Covid brought loneliness, boredom, and a new restlessness. Christy found herself asking: What now? What began as an itch for purpose grew into something bigger. Drawing from the organizing systems she’d built for her own family, she began helping others create homes that support real life.
Today, Christy helps families create realistic systems that reduce stress and make everyday life feel easier through Second Nature Home Organizing, turning life experience into a business that finally feels like the right fit.
