If you often find yourself stuck in indecision or spinning in your thoughts long after a decision should have been made, today’s episode will feel like a deep exhale. I teach a simple and powerful process called the DONE Framework that helps you make confident choices without overwhelm or second-guessing. Women often think they have a decision problem when, in reality, they have a swirl of emotions and past evidence clouding their thinking. The DONE Framework brings you back to clarity by helping you define the real decision, observe it from your future self, notice what aligns with your values and identity, and execute the simplest next step. In this episode, I explain the framework step by step and then walk through four common scenarios so you can hear exactly how the method works in real life. You will learn how to use the DONE Framework to decide whether to join Organized Life Academy, where to begin organizing your home, how to handle sentimental items, and whether to bring in support to lighten your load. You will also hear why decisions create energy, how identity plays a major role in follow-through, and why past attempts do not determine your future success. You Will Learn... How to use the DONE Framework to make any decision Why naming the actual decision immediately reduces confusion How your future self gives clearer answers than your past self How to choose in a way that aligns with your values and identity What it looks like to execute a decision without drama or pressure For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/148

Go to: https://simplysquaredaway.com/yes  If you have tried again and again to get organized and it still feels hard, discouraging, or inconsistent, this episode will show you why. Most people think they struggle because they lack willpower or skill, but the real issue is that they are approaching organizing with a hidden mindset and process mistakes that sabotage them before they even begin. In this episode, I walk you through the five biggest organizing mistakes I see over and over in homes, businesses, and life. When you understand these patterns and use the simple shifts I teach today, getting organized becomes easier, more doable, and surprisingly peaceful. Here is what you will learn: Why starting from the identity of a disorganized person keeps you stuck The missing step almost everyone skips: planning The belief that you should feel like organizing when the time comes Expecting to be good at organizing from the beginning Looking at everything instead of focusing on one project at a time And a little bonus: you're not celebrating your progress, which keeps you in a state of discouragement. Celebrating the gain transforms your motivation and helps you see yourself as someone who follows through. By the end of this episode, you will understand exactly why you have struggled in the past and how to approach organizing in a way that works for your brain, your schedule, and your identity. You 100% can become an organized person. These shifts will help you get there. For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/147

For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/146 Ever felt like your body is screaming at you, and your business is too? This episode is going to change the way you think about your health and your systems. I’m joined by the amazing Rachel Carta, registered nurse, functional nutrition counselor, and life coach, for a conversation that connects the dots between what’s going on in your body and what’s going on behind the scenes of your business. Rachel and I dig into why your symptoms are actually signals, how everything is connected (yes, even your gut and your To Do list), and why simplicity is the key to healing both your health and your chaos. If you’ve ever felt like you were in constant survival mode, or like you’re always behind, always pushing, and your body just isn’t keeping up, this one’s for you. Rachel shares her story of chronic migraines, burnout, and the breakdown that led her to completely change the way she lived and worked. She teaches how to listen to your body, recognize patterns, and implement small, simple habits that lead to massive shifts. We also talk about perimenopause, blood sugar, fiber, breathwork, and how to stop organizing your grandmother’s trinkets instead of doing what matters in your business (ahem…can you relate?). This is not your typical health episode. Get ready to feel seen, empowered, and maybe finally ready to slow down and pay attention to what your body is telling you. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your symptoms aren’t random, they’re signals The 3 roots of health Rachel focuses on with every client How to know if what you’re dealing with is emotional, medical, or stress-related The nervous system’s role in organization, focus, and digestion Why your brain thinks “organizing grandma’s trinkets” is just as urgent as launching your offer 3 small, doable shifts to feel better in your body and more focused in your business How deep breathing and fiber can change your life Why organizing your business lowers stress in your body Simple signs you’re stuck in fight or flight and what to do about it

Think again. Today, I’m showing you a completely different and way simpler path to building a thriving fitness‑coaching business without living on Instagram. On this episode, I talk with Ria Zervos, a longtime fitness pro turned business coach for health and fitness coaches. After 22 years in the gym industry (from the towel desk to managing large corporate group‑exercise programs, running trade shows, coordinating presenters - she’s done it all), Ria now lives in Costa Rica and helps fitness professionals build legit online businesses without depending on social media algorithms or daily posting. We dig into why so many fitness pros struggle to get paid what they deserve, how they often overlook the goldmine sitting right under their noses (their existing network), and Ria walks us step‑by‑step through how she helps her clients build real businesses by talking to real people. No cold DMs. No burnout. Just real conversations, clear programs, and smart positioning. We cover: Why social‑media fame doesn’t equal financial success. How to use your everyday network, from your hairdresser and doctor to the barista at your favorite cafe, to build a client base. The three critical things every fitness coach’s profile (on any platform) needs: who you are, who you serve, and what you offer. How to craft and test a simple, logical coaching program before trying to sell it online. Why collaborating with other coaches (even those you view as “competition”) can help you both grow. Small offline/low-tech marketing tactics that actually work (think coffee‑shop chats, spa tables, even flyers in a chiropractor’s office). Whether you’re a fitness pro ready to quit the treadmill of social media or just a coach who wants to simplify how you get clients, this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn Why relying on social media alone won’t pay the bills, and what will. How to turn everyday people you already know (or bump into) into clients by simply talking about what you do. The three messaging questions every coach’s profile needs to answer (even if you don’t use social media). How to build a coaching program with clear steps and tangible outcomes that sell (without confusing or overwhelming people). How to collaborate strategically with other coaches, even those who seem like competitors, to expand your reach. Simple, low‑tech ways to get your first clients (flyers in waiting rooms, spa or yoga‑studio events, bringing snacks, yes, snacks!).

Cyber Monday is here which means all five Black Friday deals are open for one more day. Find them at --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/blackfriday Instead of doing a typical “deal rundown,” this episode is really about something deeper: Simplicity. Over the past year, I realized I’ve unintentionally complicated my business. Too many downloads. Too many ideas. Too many programs. Too many strategies. Too much noise. And now? I feel this strong pull to simplify everything — my business, my routines, my decisions, my focus. So I’m taking five mornings in December to do a personal “simplification retreat,” and in this episode, I walk you through the three questions I’m asking myself each day to reset, clear the clutter, and refocus on what actually matters. 1. What creates results? Identify the essential actions that truly moved your business forward this year. 2. What creates clutter? Uncover the tasks, tools, habits, offers, and routines that created confusion instead of clarity. 3. What is the simplest way to do the essential thing? Once you know what matters, simplify how you get those actions done. These questions can transform the way you run your business and your life, and you can use them alongside me. I also walk through each of the five Black Friday deals (open for 24 hours!) through the lens of simplicity, showing you how each one removes complexity and helps you build an organized, peaceful foundation for 2026. Whether you’re simplifying your business or your home, join me through one of the Black Friday offers IF you think it will aid you in simplifying your life.

Get today’s deal, the VIP Experience, and all five Black Friday offers here → https://simplysquaredaway.com/blackfriday Most people start a new year without a clear direction, which is why they end up repeating the same patterns. In today’s episode, I’m teaching the simple but powerful concept of setting your destination, just like using a GPS, and how this one step makes planning your year easier, calmer, and more intentional. You will learn why having a destination brings clarity to your goals, your time blocks, and your routines, and how designing a repeatable year removes decision fatigue and creates consistency.

Get today’s deal, Organized Coach Academy, and all five Black Friday offers here → https://simplysquaredaway.com/blackfriday There is a real secret to getting organized, and it is probably not what you think. In today’s episode, I share why organizing anything, your business, your home, your digital life, only works when you treat it like a project. Projects have a start date, an end date, clear steps, and a plan you follow through on. I walk you through how to plan your organizing project for Q1 using my SPACE method and a few simple habits, including color-coding your project on your calendar so every related task is easy to see at a glance. We also talk about identity, because the truth is, you cannot outperform what you believe about yourself. As Sarah Arnold-Hall says, we cannot outperform our identity. If you believe you are disorganized, you will keep recreating disorganized results. That is why, in both Organized Coach Academy and Organized Life Academy, we focus on shifting your identity before you ever organize a single file or closet. And because it is Black Friday week, today’s deal gives you everything you need to set up this project with clarity and structure. Deal 3 is the Organized Coach Academy at half off (!!!) and the full project plan is already built for you.

Join my Black Friday 5 Days 5 Deals Waitlist --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/bf I'm sharing the belief that's been holding me back. This one’s personal. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a belief I’ve carried with me for decades: “I don’t do things I’m not good at.” Oof. It’s shaped my business, my confidence, and even how I approach organizing. But recently, something powerful shifted, and I’m sharing exactly what helped me change that belief and what it opened up for me. I want you to think about the identity statements you might be carrying around and how they’re showing up in your life and business. Whether it’s “I’m bad at tech,” “I’ve never been organized,” or “I’m not a morning person,” it’s time to gently challenge those beliefs and unlock new possibilities. This episode is a heart-to-heart and a pep talk rolled into one. Let’s go there together. What you’ll learn: How a volleyball memory from high school shaped my identity for decades What a failed launch taught me about self-worth The difference between ability and aptitude—and why it matters so much Three real-life examples where I did things I wasn’t good at (and succeeded) How to rewrite your identity statement so you can organize and grow Why coaching matters when you’re stuck in your own beliefs A simple exercise to challenge limiting beliefs and create new ones For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/138

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. What you’ll learn • Why naming your emotions is 80% of the work • The difference between noticing a feeling vs. judging it • How to use Laurie’s Truth Model hand analogy to shift out of shame • What Scarcity Street sounds like in your mind (and how to move to Abundant Avenue) • How to identify the lie you’re believing and replace it with truth (even if you have a lot of evidence that the thought "the lie" is true) • What it means to forgive yourself for forgetting and why that changes everything Join the waitlist for my Black Friday: 5 Days. 5 Deals to get early access to the deals and to be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/bf For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/137

The role of scarcity vs. abundance mindset in both food and business. Amber’s six-step process to becoming a confident eater—and how it mirrors the habits needed for entrepreneurial success.
