Our story: from bedside nurse to professional organizer

My name is Jaimie Bubb, and I’m the founder of Urge to Purge. I live in Northern Kentucky with my supportive husband and three amazing kiddos.

I’m a nurse by background, so I have always wanted — even needed — to help others. I spent a handful of years as a bedside nurse, then moved into chronic care coaching before eventually landing in Health IT. Mental health has always been at the forefront of my mind: mine, my family’s, my children’s.

My brother adopted a beautiful baby girl in 2023. Between the stress of life, a new baby, and work, he had a mental health crisis that led him to take a leave from work. I wanted to help in whatever way I could, so I decided to tackle all the little areas of clutter that pile up — hoping it would lighten the load just a little.

The experience of helping my brother and his family quickly made me realize that this work isn’t just important, it’s needed. As selfish as it might sound, this work is cathartic for me. I love the before and after pictures, but more importantly, I love the before and after client vibes. Most times when we start a project people are anxious, overwhelmed, even embarrassed. When I leave, you can feel them breathe easier — shoulders back, energy shifted into optimism and excitement.

The biggest compliment to the work I do is when a client still has that “urge” long after I’ve gone, and keeps purging on their own.

My husband, Terry, handles the business side behind the scenes so I can be in your home doing the work. Nearly twenty years of marriage and three kids have taught us that complementary strengths are the whole trick.
