Ever feel like you’re doing all the things and still getting zero results? Like you’re working so hard and wondering… is this even worth it?

Yeah. I was there.

After pouring time, energy, and heart into something I thought would be a win and getting nothing back, I was ready to throw in the towel. Honestly, I felt like a failure.

But then I had a conversation with my friend and coach, Laurie Shopland, that changed everything. What started as a normal Tuesday call turned into one of the most important mindset shifts I’ve ever experienced, and in this episode, I’m sharing it with you.

Laurie walks us through her Truth Model — a simple, 5-step emotional processing tool that helps you go from shame and judgment to peace and clarity. It’s mapped to your hand, easy to remember, and so powerful.

If you’ve been struggling with discouragement, shame, or the temptation to quit, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

Laurie gives us language, grace, and permission to be human, and then leads us gently toward truth. And trust me, you’ll want to write this process down.

Let’s talk about letting go and doing it way faster.

If you're anything like me and my clients, letting go can feel emotionally heavy and unnecessarily hard.

But what if it didn’t have to be?

In this episode, I’m walking you through the three-step decision-making framework that came straight out of a recent Organized Life Academy coaching call. This framework will help you change the way you think about your stuff. Whether it’s physical clutter, digital overwhelm, or outdated business ideas, this process helps you finally make decisions (and stop circling around them for months).

I’ll also share details about a one-time-only secret-room organizing event you’re invited to. It’s part workshop, part BTS (behind the scenes) peek at me decluttering a room that’s gotten completely out of hand (again).

➡️ Register for the workshop on October 17, 2025, at https://simplysquaredaway.com/secret.

If you want to see the organizing steps in action and how I actually make decisions in real life, don’t miss this!  

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why letting go actually gets easier when you do this first

The simple rule one client uses to decide what ideas to keep or let go of.

How to shift your mindset after making a decision so you don’t regret it later

What clutter really is (spoiler: it’s not what you think)

A blunt but freeing perspective on business offers, clothes, and all the “what if I need it later?” items

Exactly how I’m prepping for my second round of decluttering in my infamous “secret room”

Are you feeling burned out but not even sure what that really means?

Martine Williams is here to change that. This conversation completely reframed burnout for me, and I think it’ll do the same for you.

Martine is a Life Alignment Coach who helps mompreneurs win at work without losing at home. In this episode, she shares how burnout isn’t just about exhaustion. It’s about misalignment with your strengths, your priorities, and your joy.

We talk about how to uncover your true strengths, why most of us downplay them, and how to build a business that actually gives you energy instead of draining it. Martine also shares her favorite tool for understanding your personality and energy patterns and how you can use that insight to run your business in a way that works for you.

This conversation is packed with practical ideas and mindset shifts, especially if you’ve been feeling off or like business is harder than it should be.

Do you suck at time management? Let’s fix that...

For the full transcript, notes, links, and more, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/131

What if the real reason you're struggling to manage your time isn’t your calendar, or your to-do list, or your never-ending sticky notes, but what you believe about yourself?

And the fact that you don't have a system for time management?

In this episode, I share the truth behind why saying things like “I’m terrible at time management” keeps you stuck… and what to do instead.

Spoiler: We’re flipping that narrative today and rewiring your brain to believe you are extremely good at time management.

I’ll also walk you through my signature SPACE organizing method (yes, the same one I use for your closet) and show you exactly how to use it for your time.

That means sorting your tasks, purging them (get ready for the 4 D’s), assigning them a home, and finally building a container that energizes you to follow through.

If your calendar looks like a battlefield, this episode is your new system, mindset, and strategy all in one.

You’ll learn:

The one belief that’s sabotaging your time management (and how to flip it fast)

How to use the SPACE method to organize your calendar like you do your closet or your kitchen

What to do before you open your planner or calendar

Why batching, time blocks, and categories simplify everything

The “delay bucket” trick that stops idea overload

How containment creates clarity, calm, and structure for your brain

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working constantly but your bank account still isn’t reflecting your effort… this episode is going to feel like a warm (and slightly convicting) hug.

Today, I’m joined by productivity expert and founder of Daily Success Routine, Jamila Payne, and we’re diving into the kind of productivity that actually moves the needle: Profit-Driven Productivity.

Jamila shares exactly why traditional time management doesn’t work for service-based business owners (hello, coaching calls and client work taking over our calendars), and what we should be doing instead. We also talk about the real reasons we avoid sales-generating work, how to rewire your daily routines, and the sneaky ways we productively procrastinate (yep, it’s a thing - bougie productivity.)

She even walks us through her signature daily routines that help you double your income without sacrificing your evenings and weekends.

This one is jam-packed with golden nuggets, so grab a pen or open your Notes app. You’re going to want to revisit these insights again and again.

In this first-ever co-hosted episode, I team up with another brilliant organizing coach to nerd out about mindset, identity, and systems. We realized we share a foundational belief: it all starts with how you think about yourself.

Do you believe you’re disorganized? That identity could be the very thing keeping you stuck.

We get into all of it, from alter egos and decluttering shame to the reason containers aren’t the solution (yes, even the cute ones from Target). Plus, we each share our own organizing methods: mine is called SPACE, and hers involves the Four P’s and the Amber method.

We also talk about why it feels impossible to stay organized, what to do when your brain rejects “I’m extremely organized", and the tiny tweak that makes a HUGE difference in your environment.

What you’ll learn:

How identity and mindset impact your organizing success

The SPACE Method: A 5-step system to create and maintain order

The Four P’s Framework: Prep, Purge, Process, Protect

The Amber Method for mindfulness while decluttering

Tips for using alter egos to break through mental clutter

The power of linking maintenance to routines you already do

This is a mix of Amber and me, all wrapped up in one conversation.
