The Organized Coach - Productivity, Business Systems, Time Management, ADHD, Routines, Life Coach, Entrepreneur

Happy Birthday to me! To celebrate, I'm offering three ways I can help you get organized...but these are only available until the end of June! Organized Life Academy - Join for the remainder of 2025 and declutter and organize your home and life. 

Are you delighting in your business or just checking boxes? We're halfway through 2025 (yep, already), and if you're like me, you might be feeling the pressure of those January or Q2 goals whispering, “So... how's that going?” In this episode, I'm slowing things down to share something that hit me on a four-mile walk in total silence (no podcasts, no audiobooks... just me and the Lord). It was this: Delight. What would change in your business, or your life, if you focused less on fixing and more on delighting? If you celebrated the email you cleared, the system you created, the connection you made, instead of shaming yourself for not doing more? I tell the story of a spontaneous fast with my church group, how delight showed up on a walk, and why we as coaches need to tap into this delicious delight more often. (Shoutout to Laura!) We're talking about delighting in the imperfect, the small wins, the unplanned connections, and even the digital decluttering process - yes, even THAT can be delightful. What you'll learn in this episode: A sweet story from my Women to Women group (and why it led to a silent walk) What “delighting” even looks like in your organizing journey How I'm finding joy in visibility and new connections this year The surprising delight in reviewing old digital freebies and files How to shift from self-judgment to self-celebration Creative ways to over-celebrate your organizing wins How delight builds momentum in your organizing and your biz ➡️ Book a call with me to find out what you need to reach your organizing goals: https://simplysquaredaway.com/appointments ➡️ Doors are open to Organized Life Academy!

Or maybe you just zone out. Two hours pass. Nothing's done. You're overwhelmed, discouraged, and the clutter's still staring back at you. That doesn't mean you're lazy. It doesn't mean you're disorganized. It means you're coming up against the real work of organizing—and it has way more to do with your identity than your stuff. In this episode of The Organized Coach Podcast, I dive into what organizing is really about. Yes, it's about decluttering and structure. But more than that? It's about who you're becoming in the process. Key points: Why organizing often triggers emotion, avoidance, or grief What your clutter is actually trying to tell you How identity stories like “I've always been messy” sabotage your progress Why letting go of old items is also about letting go of old versions of you How Organized Life Academy helps you rewrite those stories and become the calm, confident version of yourself If you've ever felt like organization “should” be simple but it never feels that way, this episode will help you feel seen—and supported. Doors to Organized Life Academy are open now for the rest of 2025! Join at half price, get June FREE, and finally become the version of you who feels organized every day.

If you've ever thought, “I'm doing too much and still not getting the results I want,” this episode will hit home hard. Michelle Gauthier—life coach for overwhelmed working women—joins me for an honest, funny, and energizing convo about what it takes to stop the hustle and start living and working from a place of peace. We bonded over our love of organization and our eerily similar life paths (living in the same three states, fate, and a whole lot of serendipity!). Michelle shares the story of her leap from corporate life into coaching, how she built belief in herself from scratch, and the systems she uses to help women achieve more by doing less. We dive into the life-changing power of creating a "To-Don't List,” setting boundaries like a boss, and making business decisions that actually support your life—not steal from it. And yes, you're going to want to make your own To-Don't List right after this.

Ever wonder what's really happening behind the scenes of a coach who's scaling toward a million dollars? In this episode, Debbie Shadid shares the real story—no sugarcoating, no "just work 10 hours a week and it'll happen" myths.  We talk about how she built her business from the ground up (before digital ads even existed!), what she's had to rework to hit her next goals, and why it's not about finding the “perfect” automation—it's about showing up, building skills, and doing the work. Debbie also gets honest about switching industries, embracing tech even when it was hard, and the mental shifts she had to make to stop "dabbling" and step fully into leadership. Plus, she gives practical advice for how YOU can start thinking about your business like a brick-and-mortar boutique—and why that mindset will change everything.

In this episode, I sit down with Kylie Kelly, host of the No Socials, No Worries podcast and founder of The Email Collab, who helps coaches, course creators, and service providers grow their email lists through relationship-based strategies, not reels and DMs. Kylie shares her personal journey from burnt-out wedding photographer to email marketing pro—and exactly how she makes collaborations her growth superpower. We dive into how to ditch social without ditching your growth, how to use bundles, summits, and freebie swaps to grow your list, and how Kylie organizes it all without a team. Plus, we cover her “V2 Collaboration Framework” and how to choose the right strategies for long- and short-term list-building wins. Thinking about quitting Instagram? This is your permission slip.

Do you ever feel like your computer is one big junk drawer? If you're constantly hunting down files, re-downloading things, or wondering where in the world you saved that doc, this episode is your digital rescue plan. I'm sharing the two simple habits I've been coaching on over and over lately—and they'll help you actually stay organized after your initial digital cleanup.

Ever feel like your coaching business is stuck in no-man's-land? You've got your offer, your socials are active, maybe you've even had a few clients—but now it's crickets. No one's buying, and you're starting to question... everything. In this episode, I sit down with business coach Candy Motzek to unpack what's really going on when the clients stop coming. From the real reason people don't want “coaching” (spoiler: no one does) to the mindset shifts that get you back into momentum, this conversation is equal parts strategy and soul-search. Whether you're in a dry spell or just need to reignite your belief in your offer, Candy offers the wisdom, tools, and compassion every coach needs to hear. We cover: How to shift out of discouragement and get back into aligned action Why people aren't buying your “coaching package” (and what they do want) How to market research the right way (hint: use Amazon!) What gamifying your client-getting strategy might do for your energy Mindset hacks to fall back in love with your business again The surprising power of journaling and how to use it to get unstuck When to pivot your offer (and how to know it's the right time) What You'll Learn: Why even great coaches hit dry spells—and how to handle them The #1 shift that will make your offer more sellable instantly What to ask your dream client to uncover irresistible copy The simple journaling prompt Candy swears by How to know if it's time to pivot (or just repackage your offer) For the full transcript, notes, links, and to connect with Candy Motzek, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/106

Mel shares her unique perspective on navigating setbacks with grace and resilience.  Together, we explore how to interpret your numbers without letting them define you, borrow success strategies from other areas of life, and determine what you truly want from your entrepreneurial journey.  Whether you're facing a tough season or simply want to prepare for the ups and downs of business ownership, this episode is packed with wisdom and actionable advice. We dive into practical steps for moving forward when you feel stuck, how to evaluate your current strategies with clarity, and knowing when it's time to pivot. Mel's ability to draw lessons from her personal and professional experiences is both inspiring and empowering. Her strategies will challenge you to rethink your relationship with failure and refocus on what truly matters. Plus, I share an exciting announcement about the Organized Life Academy's 2025 focus and how we're using the 12-Week Year to break our goals into manageable chunks, stay motivated, and achieve remarkable progress.

Do you have an email welcome or nurture sequence set up? Do you need to add any appointments or reminders to your calendar? Does your process create reassurance or safety for new clients after making this big decision? Is it clear to your client what their next step is?
