What if getting organized isn't really about the stuff?
In this personal episode, Tracy shares lessons she's learning as she redecorates her home, declutters books, creates more space, and navigates a season of asking bigger questions about life and purpose.
What started as a home project became something much deeper. Through slowing down, making intentional decisions, and creating space, Tracy discovered that organizing can be a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and uncovering what's next.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why organizing sometimes takes longer than you expected
How decluttering can reveal what matters most in your current season
The connection between physical clutter, mental clutter, and creativity
Why creating space can help you hear God's direction more clearly
How organizing can be about becoming, not just doing
The surprising lessons Tracy learned while redesigning her home
If you've ever felt like you're in a season of transition, wondering what's next, or feeling pulled toward something new but aren't quite sure what it is, this episode will encourage you to slow down and pay attention to what creating space might be revealing.
Because sometimes the greatest gift of organizing isn't what leaves your life.
It's what gets uncovered.

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.
We talk about:
Why being “bad at tech” usually isn’t the real problem
The emotional weight of digital clutter and constant frustration
How simple file organization can save hours every week
The bookmark bar system that immediately made business easier
How small changes can create huge relief in your day-to-day work
What finally pushed Vicky to ask for help

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:
The very first decision I would make about where to store everything
Why I would immediately create a simple file structure
The “business brain” dashboard I would build right away
How I would organize my bookmarks, links, and recurring tasks
The way I would structure my calendar and time blocks
Why organizing your mind matters just as much as organizing your files
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.

I’m here to help you organize, systemize, and streamline your life coach business so you can focus on what really matters: helping your clients.
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.
That’s why I created this podcast: to share the strategies, tools, and mindset shifts that have helped me build a strong foundation in my own business and help other life coach clients overcome these challenges and succeed on their own terms.
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!
