144 | 3 Questions I’m Asking to Simplify My Business and My Life

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.

I also share why identity matters so much in this process and why you cannot outperform what you believe about yourself.

And because it’s Black Friday week, today’s deal helps you put all of this into action with full support.

Deal 5 is the VIP Experience, where we spend three hours together mapping out your Organized Year Blueprint so you know exactly where you’re going and how to get there. Today only, it’s available at the Black Friday rate.

If visibility feels overwhelming or inconsistent, you might not need a new strategy.

You might just need a more organized one.

I talk about the Visibility Flywheel and how a repeatable rhythm of researching, reaching out, and following up helped me book more than 70 podcast interviews this year.

I also share how my sister and dad’s love of fly fishing perfectly illustrates why staying in motion matters so much.

141 | The Secret to Get Organized - Deal 3 - Organized Coach and Life Academy

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. You can organize your business in Q1 or buy now and start in Q2 since you have lifetime access.

If your main project next year is your home, Organized Life Academy is also half off this week and follows the same project-based approach for a full year. Join now for 2026 and get December included for free!

Tune in to learn the real secret to getting and staying organized.

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

137 | I Was Ready to Quit. Then I Tried This... with Laurie Shopland

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
