About Savvy Sloth Strategies
We help ambitious women simplify the overwhelm, reclaim their time, and create space for the things that light them up.
Why?
Ambitious, high-achieving women reach their goals and carry the load for everyone in their lives. Sometimes by choice, but mostly because it’s expected. Call it the curse of competency, societal norms, or the patriarchy, but either way, it falls on us ladies! We’re amazing at it, we care, and we get it done!
However, it comes at the cost of our ability to relax and simply be.
I know because I experienced this myself, and it led to severe burnout that I am still recovering from. I don’t think it’s sustainable for women to carry it all in the name of successs! You shouldn’t have to choose between being successful and being at peace.
So enter Savvy Sloth Strategies, a MD-based organizing and strategy firm, to offer support to help you feel lighter—at work and at home.

Meet Renee
Founder & Head Sloth in Charge
In 2022, I found myself where so many of my clients are: overwhelmed, burned out, and craving balance. My career had been a whirlwind of bringing ideas, requests, and projects to life—often solo or in small teams. I mastered the art of juggling tasks, staying organized, and keeping everything running smoothly, but it wasn’t sustainable. Perfectionism left me drained, and I knew something had to change.
I decided to shift my focus to progress over perfection, using structured systems to lighten the load. That decision changed everything. It led to successful marketing campaigns, promotions, advanced degrees, a beautiful wedding, and even some unforgettable travel adventures. But even with those wins, the burnout was real.
I knew I wasn’t alone in feeling this way, so I made a new commitment: to achieve a work-life balance that felt fulfilling and sustainable—and to help other ambitious, overwhelmed individuals do the same. Inspired by my favorite animal, the sloth, I created Savvy Sloth Strategies as a way to guide others to reclaim their time, energy, and mental space.
Now, I help busy professionals, aspiring brands, and entrepreneurs simplify their lives with thoughtful systems, practical strategies, and a calm, intentional approach. Together, we transform the overwhelm into clarity and progress.

FAQs
Do you offer virtual or remote services?
Yes, I do! My project management and marketing services are both available remotely.
How quickly can we get started once I decide to work with you?
After our initial consultation and agreement on services, we can typically begin work within 1-2 weeks. For urgent needs, let us know, and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.
You offer a wide range of services; how do these services relate to one another?
All of my services are connected by one goal: lightening the mental load. I’ve noticed they’re the things that take up the most brain space for women. It starts at home with the clutter that makes it hard to think straight, then shows up at work when we don’t have systems to reach our goals, and finally, in how we talk about ourselves and our brands to get the visibility we deserve. Whether it’s home, work, or business—I help bring clarity and ease so you can focus on what really matters.
