The Happy Gal Way

Our unique framework for success is what we call The Happy Gal Way. Through our signature systems and programs, we’ll show you how to:

  • Simplify your life by organizing your home.

The Happy Gal is more than just a website – it’s a community.

I invite you to connect with us, join the conversation, and start your journey toward a more organized life. Let’s work together to create a life you truly love.

Hi, I'm Jenny Layton.

I started The Happy Gal 12 years ago when I realized the high quality of life I enjoyed came from being organized.

As a coach and a leading expert in organization, time management, and mindset, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of women achieve their goals without sacrificing what matters most.

When I’m not helping women like you transform their lives, you’ll find me living my own organized life in beautiful Utah with my husband and our five amazing kids. I love spending my free time hiking, boating on mountain lakes, or hitting the pickleball court.

Rebecca Holbrook

Rebecca received a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Utah and for the past 20 years has run a floral design business specializing in weddings. She also worked as a secretary and administrative assistant in a law office before transitioning to being a full-time stay at home mom and raising her five children.

Shortly after the birth of her fourth child, Rebecca began working with Jenny and it was there that she realized the difference between living life and reacting to it. The idea that she held the power to create the life she wanted spurred her desire to discover the tools necessary to create a life she loves. Rebecca has since certified as a Creation Coach through the Creation Coach School, and now works behind the scenes at the Happy Gal as a virtual assistant to help women organize a life they love.   

In her free time Rebecca enjoys reading, painting, and spending time with family. She also loves hiking and traveling – especially when those two things take her into the mountains.

Kimball Romney

After child number 3, with her husband traveling weekly for work, Kimball Romney realized she had a gap that needed bridging in order to find peace as a mother and home manager. That’s when she discovered the Happy Gal, and her life changed beyond simply being organized. Living the Happy Gal Way has helped Kimball find peace and increased energy for everyday life.

Getting organized lit a fire to participate in this work. As the Happy Gal social media manager, Kimball is excited to share principles that really do make a difference. 

Kimball received a Bachelor ‘s degree in History and Theater education from BYU-Idaho and worked as a high school teacher before coming home to raise her 4 children. She leads multiple church groups, plays the flute, and loves being creative and spending time outside on a run or a hike with her family. She’s so grateful to be part of this work to help women discover how they can truly live their best lives!

Renee Charbonneau

After a career in the medical field and after the birth of her 3rd child, Renee jumped into online business so she could be home with her young family. Juggling working from home and managing a home proved to be massive challenge resulting in late nights and little sleep.

Renee started working as a Digital Marketing and Operations Manager for The Happy Gal in 2017. Little did she know at the time that the Happy Gal Way was the missing link she had been looking for to organize her busy and sometimes chaotic life and business into an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.

Renee graduated from BYU with a bachelors in Athletic Training and has since received certifications in digital marketing and business management. Though her professional focus has shifted, her love of sports still runs deep and she watches them any chance she gets! She also loves cooking, baking and playing the piano.

What Happy Clients Say

I have met with many life coaches, counselors, and self help experts over the years and no one has been able to help me as much as Jenny Layton. Her approach to organizing both physical and mental environments has created lasting change in my life. Her catchphrases come to my mind often and help me stay on track. She has been a pivotal force in helping me reclaim my life from clutter and overwhelm.

Jenny, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to thank you enough. In three days, your bootcamp has already profoundly impacted me. I know I will use these tools for the rest of my life and they will help me achieve my dreams. I am a single Mom, and I’ve found it so challenging to make time for myself while just maintaining a home and raising my child. It dawned on me yesterday that I can create an entire cycle of daily habit hooks that will enable me to craft the most beautiful, balanced, productive and fulfilling life. It brings me to tears! I’ve never felt so inspired in my life! Thank you with all my heart, Jenny!
- C.C.
I wish I had done this a long time ago! I'm starting to put my boys through the bootcamp too--right now I have them sorting out art supplies.
- K.N.
Wow. I love how much more in control I feel of my life and my home. I’m actually excited each night to list the 1-3 things I’m going to focus on the next day. My husband and kids have even started helping out in little ways without me even asking since they see me cleaning up home base and keeping things more in order. I feel so much more prepared to take on this summer and can’t wait to make memories with my family while still feeling like we have some sense of order at home. Thank you so much, Jenny!
- J.S.
I love Jenny’s approach. She sets you up for success, and not only clearly explains what to do, but also why it’s important. I have been to various trainings and enrolled in other group mentoring programs that spanned over months, but in just one week she showed me some key foundational principles I had been missing. In other programs I felt at times like I was drinking from a fire hose as I tried to take it all in and do everything all at once, but Jenny’s method of giving small, simple steps that slowly build on each other made implementing these strategies so much easier. No matter where you are at on the organizing spectrum, I believe Jenny can add value to everyone!
- C.W.
Jenny has helped give me time back for meaningful activities like spending time with family and friends, without feeling stressed that I don't have time for it. She has given me peace that everything is under control and will get done in because it's known and scheduled. The only surprises now are normal life surprises instead of many appointments and due dates and someone needing a uniform that was hiding in a laundry bin somewhere. It's amazing how streamlining and planning a routine for daily living creates such peace in our home!!! Can't say enough good about working with Jenny!
- M.C.
I'm so grateful for Jenny. She has honestly changing my life in more ways than just being organized. I feel like a better human being overall. I'm less stressed and angry. I'm the happy, easygoing person I used to be before having kids. I'm enjoying my time with my kids more. I was just telling my husband I'm so amazed at how much more productive I've become yet I'm less tired! In the past he and I have had conversations about how I can see who I want to be but don't know how to bridge the gap between my current self and that potential self. Jenny’s organizing strategies seem to be the bridge I've been looking for.
