    Jun 24 2025

    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!

    1. Organized Life Academy - Join for the remainder of 2025 and declutter and organize your home and life. 👉 http://simplysquaredaway.com/ola
    2. Business Organizing Intensive - Together, we'll organize three key areas of your business to achieve the greatest return on investment (ROI). This is hands-on, sharing screens, and getting it done! (A best seller during Black Friday last year. Limited spaces. Includes two 90-minute private sessions.) 👉 http://simplysquaredaway.com/boi
    3. Momentum Builder - Work on anything you'd like...home, business, mindset, a project, your time and calendar, Q3 planning, etc. (New offer. Includes three 55-minute sessions.) 👉 http://simplysquaredaway.com/momentum

    What if your clutter isn’t just the stuff on your desk or the pile of old emails in your inbox?

    What if clutter runs way deeper, showing up as fear, indecision, and impostor syndrome in your business?

    In this episode, I’m diving into the psychology of clutter with Samantha Brown, professional organizer, coach, and host of The Pro Organizers Coach Podcast. Samantha and I are both organizers and coaches, and this conversation was a fun blend of mindset and practical strategies.

    You’ll hear us discuss why clutter occurs in the first place, how it infiltrates your business, and, most importantly, how to finally release it so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and freedom.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like your brain is running a million miles an hour… this episode will help you clear the mental clutter so you can get back to doing what you love.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    • The surprising link between physical clutter and mindset blocks
    • How clutter creates “hot spots” in your business (and how to find them)
    • Why perfectionism, fear of the unknown, and overthinking can keep you stuck
    • How to “assign homes” for the thoughts that clutter your mind
    • Why clarity leads to confidence (and more clients)
    • The simple mindset shift that makes it easier to release what’s no longer serving you
    • How failing faster can actually build your business faster
    • Sneaky ways clutter hides in your offers, workflows, and systems

  • 116 | This ONE Habit Boosts Joy and Organization
    Jun 17 2025

    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

  • 115 | Why Emotional Eating Might Be Sabotaging Your Business with Laura Conley
    Jun 10 2025

    I'm opening the doors to Organized Life Academy to celebrate my birthday month! If you want to declutter and organize your home before the end of 2025, join NOW by clicking here 👉 https://simplysquaredaway.com/ola

    In this episode, I'm talking with Laura Conley about how to love your body, lose weight, and still run a bold, visible business.

    Okay… I don’t think I’ve ever had a conversation quite like this one on the podcast - eating, body image, weight loss goals, and running a business with all the visibility that comes with it.

    So, of course, I had to bring in Laura Conley, certified life and weight loss coach and founder of The Yummy Mummy Experience. This episode is packed with real talk, big mindset shifts, and so many mic-drop moments you’ll want to scribble down (or pause and replay ten times like I did).

    We discuss what emotional eating truly is, how to recognize it without judgment, and how to work towards your goals with love and self-trust, rather than shame.

    We discussed:

    • Can you love your body AND want to lose weight?
    • How your food chatter is showing up in your business
    • Why it’s okay to want to feel HOT and what that means for your confidence
    • Emotional eating as a check engine light and not a failure
    • Delicious dopamine vs. detrimental dopamine
    • How two outfits can seriously change your visibility game

    Get ready to laugh, reflect, and walk away with tangible tools (and maybe a few new phrases like “glimmer hunting” and “delicious dopamine”).

    You’ll Learn:

    • How emotional eating impacts your business energy and decision-making
    • The secret to loving yourself and still wanting more for your health
    • Why naming your “diet brain” might be the most freeing thing ever
    • How to shift out of food as your only coping mechanism
    • The power of celebrating yourself like a crazy person (trust us, it works)

    You Thought You Were Just Organizing—But This Is What’s Really Happening

    Have you ever started organizing your house, your office, your email inbox—thinking, “This time I’m going to be SO focused”… and suddenly, you’re crying?

    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.

    We chat about:

    • The belief that kept her stuck (and how she finally questioned it)

    • How grief triggered her desire to declutter—and leave a legacy

    • Why starting small (literally half a shelf!) is her new go-to strategy

    • The moment she let go of her corporate wardrobe (and identity)

    • How organizing is helping her build her new digital product

    What you’ll learn:

    • Why your identity might be sabotaging your organizing efforts

    • How clutter affects your nervous system, productivity, and peace

    • The power of planning and accountability (especially from the other side of the world!)

    • Why letting go of physical stuff often requires letting go emotionally first

    • How mindset work overlaps with organizing—every single time

    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.
