❓Do you have ADHD or struggle to stay focused?
My podcast is the perfect resource if you answered yes to any of these questions.
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!

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.

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: • Why most people quit visibility strategies too soon • The hidden mental clutter behind inconsistent marketing • How authentic connection changes the energy of networking • Why organization becomes even more important once visibility starts working • How systems reduce overwhelm and create momentum 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).

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 you’ll learn: Why podcast guesting became my favorite visibility strategy The messy, disorganized way I used to pitch podcasts What changed when I finally created a simple system How podcast interviews helped me become more confident in my expertise Why consistency matters more than “perfect” pitches Why podcast guesting builds trust faster than most content strategies The behind-the-scenes story of how I booked around 100 interviews in 15 months

3w ago00:24:47Tap to summarizeAll links and resources mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/167 Book a call with me here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/appointments 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… You go to organize something simple like a drawer, your calendar, or your task list… and suddenly it feels like too much. You second-guess your decisions. You run away. And by the end of the day, you’ve “proven” to yourself that you didn’t have enough time. But that result didn’t come from your circumstances. It came from your thinking. 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. It’s real, in-the-moment thinking. 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. What You’ll Learn: Why “I don’t have enough time” is a thought, not a fact How your self-talk creates overwhelm, procrastination, and disorganization The difference between an overwhelmed person and a decisive, organized one What more productive self-talk looks like The simple mindset shift that helps you follow through and finish what you start

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. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why feeling stuck often means you’re entering a transition season The surprising reason so many women lose clarity about what they want Why meaning becomes more important as you grow your business and life What to do when you don’t know what’s next yet (and the easiest way to find out...at the end of the episode) Why focusing on the how too early shuts down possibility How you can discover you don’t need a full pivot, just a richer life outside work A simple mindset shift that makes transitions feel less scary and more intentional

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.
