Download Tracy's Free File Naming Formula Cheat Sheet:

Are you tired of wasting time searching for files on your computer?

You know the feeling. You're looking for a document you know exists, but all you can find are files named "Final," "Final Final," or "New Document." Before you know it, you've spent ten minutes clicking through folders and opening files trying to find the right one.

The problem isn't your memory. It's your file names.

In this episode, Tracy shares the simple file naming convention she uses and teaches her clients to help them find files faster, reduce duplicate documents, improve team collaboration, and create a more organized business. You'll learn why your computer search is only as good as your file names, when to use dates, how to track versions, and the five rules every Organized CEO should follow.

If you're ready to spend less time searching and more time doing meaningful work, this episode is for you.

What if the reason your business feels so exhausting… has nothing to do with working harder?

My guest today, Vicky Countess, thought she just needed to “get better at tech.” But underneath the cluttered desktop, overflowing files, and piles of paper was something deeper: frustration, wasted time, and the constant feeling of never being able to find what she needed when she needed it.

Vicky first found me through a business program where I was teaching simple digital organization strategies. She downloaded my file organization cheat sheet, started making small changes, and eventually jumped into my Black Friday offer (the Organized CEO Intensive - get now for $250 off) because she was tired of feeling scattered in her business.

Her story is going to sound VERY familiar if you’ve ever spent 20 minutes searching for one file… only to realize you saved it in three different places. 😅

In this episode, Vicky shares what digital clutter was really costing her, why organization felt emotionally heavy, the simple systems that helped her finally feel calm and confident inside her business again, and the new niche that she's not only passionate about but also starting very organized.

If I had to start my business over from scratch today, I would do a LOT differently.

Not because I failed the first time…

But because I’ve learned that organization is not something you “get to later” once your business grows.

Organization is what allows your business to grow without taking over your brain.

In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I would organize a brand new business from day one if I were starting all over today. From digital files to time blocking to dashboards and workflows, I’m sharing the systems I would set up immediately to save time, reduce overwhelm, and create a business that actually feels sustainable.

You’ll hear:

This episode is practical, strategic, and full of the exact systems I use to run an organized business today.

If you’ve ever felt buried in tabs, downloads, scattered ideas, or inconsistent workflows, this episode will help you think differently about what it really means to build a business that supports you instead of exhausting you.

What if podcast pitching (or to media or other collaborations) didn’t have to feel chaotic, overwhelming, or totally inauthentic?

In this episode, I’m chatting with emotions coach Lauren Brown about her experience using my Podcast Pitching Dashboard Bundle and how it completely changed the way she approached visibility and podcast guesting. Lauren shares what podcast pitching looked like before she had a system, why everything felt scattered and stressful, and how getting organized helped her finally show up more confidently and authentically.

If you’ve been wanting to guest on podcasts but keep avoiding the process because it feels messy or too overwhelming, this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale. Lauren’s story is such a good reminder that visibility gets easier when you have systems that actually support you.

We also talk about emotions in business, the ripple effect of referrals, and why your feelings are not the problem you think they are.

In this bonus episode, Tracy shares a visibility strategy that she now sees in a whole new way: authentic connection.

Tracy reflects on a powerful insight from Lauren Carlisle Brown about approaching podcast guesting through the lens of authentic connection, rather than transactional networking or seeking visibility.

After completing more than 100 podcast interviews in 15 months, Tracy realized that visibility is about so much more than growing an audience or getting your name out there. The real magic came through the relationships, conversations, encouragement, and opportunities that developed along the way.

All marketing works when done consistently, but overwhelm and disorganization often interfere with consistency.

In this episode, Tracy talks about:

If you’ve been wanting to get more visible in your business without feeling fake, pushy, or scattered, this episode will encourage you to approach visibility in a more meaningful and sustainable way.

The Podcast Dashboard Bundle is currently 50% off through Thursday at midnight and includes Tracy’s dashboard system, pitch templates, follow-up process, and organization tools for podcast guesting and visibility outreach, as well as your own podcast (if you have one).

What if one visibility strategy could sharpen your message, grow your audience, and bring in clients... without you having to dance on Instagram every day?

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the biggest visibility strategies in my business: podcast guesting. Over the last 15 months, I’ve been booked on over 100 podcasts, and it has completely changed how I show up as a coach and business owner.

But here’s the thing. I did NOT start out organized.

At first, podcast pitching looked like me wasting 30 minutes researching random shows, half-writing a pitch, getting distracted, forgetting to follow up, and then wondering why nothing was happening. I had no system. No process. No consistency.

And because there wasn’t a system, I dreaded doing it.

So I built one.

In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I created a simple, organized podcast pitching workflow that helped me consistently get booked on podcasts and become known as the organizing expert.

But the biggest surprise? Podcast guesting didn’t just grow my visibility. It helped me deepen my message, sharpen my teaching, and get clearer on what I actually believe about organization, mindset, emotions, and what’s really keeping people stuck. Plus, new friendships and new collaboration opportunities.

If you’ve been wanting a visibility strategy that feels more human, more sustainable, and honestly... more FUN than constantly creating social media content, this episode is for you.

What if the reason you feel disorganized… has nothing to do with your systems?

If you keep telling yourself “I don’t have enough time,” or "I should have finished this before," I want you to hear this: that thought might be the very thing keeping you stuck.

In this episode, I’m doing something a little different. I’m taking you inside a real, unpolished coaching conversation where we break down what’s actually happening when you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to follow through.

Because here’s what I see all the time…

But that result didn’t come from your circumstances.

This episode will help you see, in real time, how your self-talk is shaping your actions and results, and what to do instead.

And I’ll be honest… this isn’t perfectly polished coaching.

But that’s exactly why I wanted you to hear it.

Because once you recognize these patterns in yourself, everything about how you approach organization can change.

Have you ever had the experience where your business or career is working… your life is working… and yet something still feels off?

Like the plan you made years ago technically worked. You followed it. You built something meaningful. But now you’re sitting there wondering, why doesn’t this feel the way I thought it would?

If that’s you, this conversation is going to feel like a relief.

Today I’m talking with Suzy Rosenstein about what’s really happening when your old plan stops working, and you don’t yet know what the new one is. So many people hit this season and assume something has gone wrong. But often, it’s actually the beginning of clarity.

Suzy shares her own story of spending five years in that exact in-between place and how she learned that feeling “off” isn’t a problem to fix. It’s information to listen to.

We talk about why it’s so common to lose connection with what you actually want, how people pleasing quietly shapes your decisions for decades, and the mistake most people make when they try to figure out what’s next too quickly.

If you’ve been waiting for certainty before making a change in your business or life, this episode will help you take the next step anyway.

I just got back from 11 days in Poland, and this quarter alone I’ve taken four big trips. Cabo with my girls. Florida for a birthday celebration. Canada for a TEDx talk. Poland for a mission trip. And this week? I’m hosting a live event.

So yes… it’s been a full season.

And whenever life gets this full, travel becomes the fastest way to see whether your systems actually support you.

Do your routines hold?

In this episode, I’m sharing eight habits I rely on during busy seasons with travel, events, and real life happening all at once. These are the same patterns I’ve developed over 17 years as a professional organizer and from watching what works (and what absolutely does not work) in real homes and real businesses.

If your calendar feels packed right now, this episode will help you stay grounded, prepared, and present without trying to keep everything perfect.

Your brand is not your logo. It is how people feel when they experience you.

Most coaches think branding means colors, fonts, and maybe finally choosing a logo they do not hate.

But what if your brand is actually the story your life is telling every time you show up online or in a conversation?

In this episode, I am talking with Jan Touchberry about what branding really means and why so many coaches feel stuck or unsure about whether they are “doing it right.” We unpack what to focus on when you are just starting and what shifts when you are ready for the next level of your business.

If you have ever wondered whether your brand reflects who you truly are or if you should redo everything again this year, this conversation will give you clarity and relief.

Jan shares a simple framework that makes branding feel doable instead of overwhelming. And honestly, it might change how you think about your business entirely.

Here is what we cover together:
