  182 | House Hushing for the Win with Myquillyn Smith 18.08.2026 38min

  All links mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/182 What if decluttering didn’t start with deciding what to get rid of? What if, instead, you could simply experience your home with less stuff and THEN decide what deserves to come back? In this episode, I’m talking with Myquillyn Smith, also known as The Nester, about her new book, House Hushing, and I absolutely love her approach to creating a peaceful home without feeling like you have to become a hardcore minimalist. Myquillyn describes all the things in our homes as having a little “voice.” Over time, those voices add up. The books, plants, projects, pillows, dog toys, decor, papers, and all the other stuff sitting around can turn what was once a lovely melody into a visual roar. And sometimes you don’t even realize how loud it has gotten until you experience your space without it. That’s where House Hushing comes in. Myquillyn walks us through her brilliant concept of “backwards decluttering.” Instead of picking up every single item and immediately deciding whether to keep it, donate it, move it, or throw it away, you temporarily remove all the visible surface items from a room. Then you live with the quieter space for 24 to 48 hours before intentionally choosing what comes back. No giant pile of permanent decisions required. We also talk about cozy minimalism and the idea that you don’t have to choose between a peaceful home and a home that feels warm, beautiful, and full of personality. If traditional decluttering has felt overwhelming, or you’re craving a home that feels a little calmer, you’re going to want to try this. What You’ll Learn: What House Hushing is and how it turns down the “visual volume” in your home Why Myquillyn considers herself a cozy minimalist and what that actually means How to use "backwards decluttering" when you’re overwhelmed by making decisions Why temporarily removing things can help you experience your home completely differently How to experiment with less before deciding what to permanently let go of How to become protective of the peace you create in your home

  181 | When ADHD Finally Explains Everything with Andrea Morton 11.08.2026 47min

  All links mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/181 Have you ever wondered if ADHD could explain more than you think? Maybe you've always considered yourself disorganized, overwhelmed, or someone who just couldn't seem to "get it together." What if there was more to the story? In this episode, I'm joined by ADHD coach Andrea Morton for an eye-opening conversation about what ADHD really looks like in women. Andrea wasn't diagnosed until she was 48, while one of her children was going through the diagnostic process. That one discovery completely changed how she understood herself, her past, and the way she now supports other women. Andrea shares both her personal story and her professional expertise as we talk about why so many women go undiagnosed for years, how ADHD presents differently in women than in men, and why understanding your brain can replace years of self-criticism with self-compassion. Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, are raising a neurodivergent child, or coach clients who struggle with organization and follow-through, this conversation will leave you with a whole new perspective. What You'll Learn: Why so many women don't receive an ADHD diagnosis until adulthood. The common signs of ADHD in women that are often overlooked. How hyperfocus, procrastination, and rumination can all be connected and can look differently than you might think.  What rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) is and why it can affect relationships and confidence. Why understanding your brain leads to more self-compassion instead of self-judgment. Practical ways to work with your brain instead of constantly fighting against it. How ADHD impacts organization, prioritization, and running a business.

  180 | 10 Ways to Resume Quickly (Instead of Starting Over) 04.08.2026 21min

  All links mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/180 Words matter. Have you ever felt like you "blew it" because you missed a few days of your routine? Maybe your house got messy again. You stopped exercising. Your planner hasn't been opened in weeks. Your business routines slipped, or your quiet time in the morning has been inconsistent. What if you didn't need to restart? What if you simply needed to resume? In this episode, Tracy shares a mindset shift that can completely change the way you think about consistency. Inspired by an article from The Optimized Pastor ("Don't Restart, Do This Instead"), shared by a former client, Jason,  she explains why the word resume is far more empowering than restart. You'll learn 10 practical strategies to help you return to the habits and routines that matter—without guilt, shame, or waiting for the "perfect" time. If you've ever felt like you've fallen behind, this episode is your reminder that organized people aren't people who never get off track. They're people who know how to resume...over and over. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why "resume" is a more powerful word than "restart" How waiting for Monday, January, or the perfect moment keeps you stuck The role shame plays in keeping you from moving forward How to build an organized identity through evidence instead of perfection Why reconnecting with your "why" makes consistency easier How curiosity can replace guilt after you've "fallen off track" Key Takeaway Consistency isn't about never stopping. It's about shortening the amount of time between when you stop and when you resume. The people who seem the most consistent aren't perfect; they've simply become really good at coming back.

  179 | Live Better With Less: A Fresh Take on Minimalism with Stephanie Seferian 28.07.2026 36min

  All links mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/179 Have you ever looked around your home and wondered, "How did we end up with so much stuff?" Or maybe you've organized the same drawer, closet, or office over and over, only to feel overwhelmed again a few weeks later. If you've ever thought minimalism wasn't for you because you pictured empty white rooms, getting rid of everything you own, or living with only 33 items in your closet, this episode might completely change your perspective. Today I'm joined by Stephanie Seferian, host of the Sustainable Minimalist Podcast. Stephanie discovered minimalism after becoming a mom and realizing she was spending all of her free time cleaning, organizing, and managing stuff instead of actually enjoying her life. Since then, she's helped thousands of people rethink what it means to live with less. In our conversation, Stephanie shares why minimalism isn't about deprivation. It's about intentionally creating more space for the things that matter most. We also talk about how this mindset shows up in business, the hidden stress that comes from consumerism, and why having less can actually give you so much more. What You'll Learn: What minimalism really means (and what it doesn't) Why owning less creates more freedom, peace, and mental space How becoming a parent completely changed Stephanie's perspective on stuff The surprising connection between minimalism, organization, and happiness How consumer culture keeps us buying things we don't actually need Why experiences and relationships matter more than possessions How Stephanie built a successful podcast around her passion for sustainable minimalism What happened when she chose to prioritize her mission over maximizing revenue Practical ways to begin embracing minimalism without becoming overwhelmed

  All links mentioned in the episode can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/178 How many times have you told yourself, "I just need to be more consistent"? Whether it's working out, organizing your business, sending emails, meal planning, or finally sticking to that morning routine, most of us believe consistency means never missing a day. But what if that's the very belief that's keeping you stuck? In this episode, I'm challenging the way we think about consistency. Because the truth is, consistent people aren't perfect. They don't never miss. They simply restart faster. I'll share the mindset shift that completely changed the way I approach consistency, plus the four levers you can pull to make following through feel easier, even on the days you don't feel like it. If you've ever wondered why you can start strong but struggle to keep going, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn: Why your definition of consistency might be setting you up to fail. The simple mindset shift that makes consistency feel attainable. Why restarting quickly matters more than never missing. The four keys that make it easier to stay consistent. Why willpower isn't enough (and what works better). How systems and habits help you keep showing up. Practical ways to stop relying on motivation and build momentum instead.

  177 | The Flow Habit and the Power of Flow with Laurie Smith 14.07.2026 45min

  All links mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/177 What if the reason you feel stuck isn't that you're lazy, unmotivated, or doing something wrong? What if you're simply out of flow? This episode feels especially meaningful to me because Laurie Smith was last on the podcast back in Episode 105, when she was in the middle of writing the book we're talking about today. We worked together while she was writing, organizing her ideas, and creating space for this project to come to life. And now? She's back with her finished book, The Flow Habit. Laurie has spent years studying, teaching, and experimenting with flow through her coaching, research, and her popular 28-Day Flow Challenges. In this conversation, we explore what flow actually is, why so many of us feel disconnected from it, and how finding your unique "flow formula" can help you experience more focus, creativity, joy, and momentum in your business and life. We also dive into something I found fascinating: how understanding your own flow can actually help you get organized, stay motivated, and make even the tasks you normally avoid feel more manageable. If you've ever thought, "That sounds great, but I'm just not someone who experiences flow," this episode might change your mind. What You'll Learn: What "flow" really means and why it's about much more than "going with the flow" How to identify your own unique formula for experiencing flow Why childhood memories can provide clues to your natural strengths and purpose The surprising connection between flow and organization How to use "flow motivators" to tackle tasks you normally avoid The four-step FEEL framework Laurie teaches to help create more flow in everyday life Why trying too hard to get into flow often prevents it How tiny moments of joy can create powerful shifts in your business and personal life Practical ways to make organizing feel easier, more meaningful, and even fun Why reconnecting with your own joy may be one of the most productive things you can do Connect with Laurie Smith Laurie Smith is an inspirational author, professional speaker, podcast host, and coach, and has worked in the fields of creativity and personal growth for more than 20 years. She is on a mission to spread the word about the transformational power of everyday flow, those experiences we have when we are so absorbed by what we are doing that we lose track of time. Laurie is the author of several books, including The Flow Habit, which was recently published by Hay House, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Since 2020, hundreds of people around the world have participated in Laurie’s free 28-Day Flow Challenge. Laurie is passionate about how flow can help us access our creative spark, uplift others, and help us make our dreams come true.

  175 | How to Organize Your Office with Lisa Griffith 30.06.2026 48min

  Find all the links mentioned in this episode here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/175 Is your office helping you get work done... or making everything harder? When someone recently asked me if I had an episode specifically about organizing an office, I realized I had talked about pieces of it over the years, but never dedicated an entire episode to the topic. So I invited professional organizer Lisa Griffith to join me for a conversation about what actually matters when it comes to creating an organized workspace. Lisa and I go way back to our early coaching days, and she brings such a refreshing perspective to organization. Instead of focusing on perfectly styled desks and Pinterest-worthy office setups, she challenges us to think about something much more important: Does your office support the way you actually work? If you've ever felt guilty because your workspace doesn't look perfect, or you've spent time organizing only to find yourself right back in the same place, this episode will help you rethink what organization really means. We talk about why function always comes before appearance, how to identify your natural work style, and why creating systems that fit you is far more important than creating a picture-perfect office. What You'll Learn: Why Pinterest-perfect offices often create unrealistic expectations The difference between organizing for appearance and organizing for function The one question you should ask before organizing any space How to identify the work style that fits you best Why some people need things visible and others need them hidden Why more organizing isn't always the answer Practical ways to create an office that supports your productivity

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.

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

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.

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

If you have ever wondered whether your brand reflects who you truly are or if you should redo everything again this year, this conversation will give you clarity and relief. Jan shares a simple framework that makes branding feel doable instead of overwhelming. And honestly, it might change how you think about your business entirely.
