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.

What if there is one sentence that could change everything?
Before you declutter your closet, desk, or digital files… there’s one step you absolutely can’t skip.
I mean it.
You could follow every system I give you to the letter, but if you don’t do this one thing first, nothing will stick.
In this episode, I walk you through the single most important mindset shift that will supercharge your organizing efforts. It’s what I recently talked through with a client who was resisting change hard, and it’s something I’ve been testing on myself, too.
I also share the new version of my 5-step organizing method (goodbye, SPASM… hello, SPACE), plus a fun 15-minute declutter challenge you can do right now to create instant momentum.
Because... if you keep arguing for your limitations, you’ll stay stuck.
But if you’re willing to step into the identity of someone who’s organized, even if it feels like a stretch, you can change everything.
Are you ready?
What you’ll learn:
The one sentence that can change how you organize your life and business
How to use an alter ego to override limiting beliefs
Why sorting before purging saves time and mental energy
The five-step SPACE method for organizing anything
Why you don’t buy containers first (seriously, stop that)
How to maintain your newly organized space long-term
Real-life before/after stories from the 15-Minute Declutter Challenge
Why arguing for your limitations is keeping you stuck (and how to stop)

What it’s really like working with your sister (including who’s the boss)
Why Kris identifies as “organized” even with piles
The mindset shift that helped her get started

For the full transcript, notes, links, and more, go to: https://simplysquaredaway.com/126
You don’t need a viral story; you just need this strategy.
When I was introduced to Megan Yelaney and binged her podcast, I immediately knew we had to talk. She’s built multiple million-dollar businesses, all by leaning into one thing: her story.
In this episode, Megan walks us through her entrepreneurial journey, the pivots she’s made (from network marketing to health coaching to business coaching), and how she finally found alignment in her message by doubling down on her unique approach.
But the part I really wanted her to unpack for you? How your personal story, yes, even the one you think is “boring,” can become the most powerful tool in your business.
We dive into her 5-part storytelling framework (The Business Story Blueprint), how to craft your story in a way that gets clients saying “I need to work with you,” and why sharing it every single week is the simplest way to create demand.
If you’re a coach who struggles to stand out or second-guesses whether your journey is “inspirational enough,” this one’s a must-listen.
We also chat about:
Megan’s million-dollar group program strategy (and what she’d do differently now)
The behind-the-scenes of separating and reconciling her marriage, and how that impacted her business
Why she deleted offers, cut income, and got hyper-focused after becoming a twin mom
The exact script to share your story with a strong call to action
Why repetition is the key to a thriving business (even if you’re bored with your own message)
What You’ll Learn:
How to identify your “catalyst moment” and make it relatable
The 5-part storytelling formula that converts followers into clients
The biggest mistake most coaches make when telling their story
The two tools Megan swears by to stay organized (and how she uses them)

As a 15-year veteran professional organizer and certified life coach, I understand the unique challenges of being an entrepreneur, running a successful business, and serving clients. I’ve helped hundreds of people get organized. However, organizing my own business was more challenging than I thought. I had to figure out what worked, how to create processes, what software programs to use, how to track clients and leads, schedule social media consistently, and so much more.
My journey hasn’t always been easy. I’ve faced my own share of obstacles and setbacks, and I know how difficult it can be to navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, keep things organized, and create systems and procedures, ALL while doing everything else in my business.

Through my podcast, you’ll learn how to:
🌟 Streamline your business processes and automate repetitive tasks
🌟 Build a solid foundation for scaling and growth
🌟 Develop a healthy, organized mindset that supports your success
🌟 Prioritize and create an organized calendar so you can work less and make more money
🌟 Reach more people and make a bigger impact
🌟 Organize your office, paper, digital assets, Canva, and anything else to help you.
Whether you’re just starting or have had your coaching business for years, my podcast has something for you. If you are diagnosed with ADHD or feel like you’re missing the organizing gene, I can help. If you love all things organizing, join me to learn more!
So, if you’re ready to take your life coach business to the next level, join me on this journey. Let’s organize, systemize, and streamline to become Organized Coaches!
