For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/146 Ever felt like your body is screaming at you, and your business is too? This episode is going to change the way you think about your health and your systems. I’m joined by the amazing Rachel Carta, registered nurse, functional nutrition counselor, and life coach, for a conversation that connects the dots between what’s going on in your body and what’s going on behind the scenes of your business. Rachel and I dig into why your symptoms are actually signals, how everything is connected (yes, even your gut and your To Do list), and why simplicity is the key to healing both your health and your chaos. If you’ve ever felt like you were in constant survival mode, or like you’re always behind, always pushing, and your body just isn’t keeping up, this one’s for you. Rachel shares her story of chronic migraines, burnout, and the breakdown that led her to completely change the way she lived and worked. She teaches how to listen to your body, recognize patterns, and implement small, simple habits that lead to massive shifts. We also talk about perimenopause, blood sugar, fiber, breathwork, and how to stop organizing your grandmother’s trinkets instead of doing what matters in your business (ahem…can you relate?). This is not your typical health episode. Get ready to feel seen, empowered, and maybe finally ready to slow down and pay attention to what your body is telling you. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your symptoms aren’t random, they’re signals The 3 roots of health Rachel focuses on with every client How to know if what you’re dealing with is emotional, medical, or stress-related The nervous system’s role in organization, focus, and digestion Why your brain thinks “organizing grandma’s trinkets” is just as urgent as launching your offer 3 small, doable shifts to feel better in your body and more focused in your business How deep breathing and fiber can change your life Why organizing your business lowers stress in your body Simple signs you’re stuck in fight or flight and what to do about it

145 | Want More Clients? Try These 3 Instagram-Free Strategies with Ria Zervos

For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/145 If you're a woman over 40 and want to declutter, downsize, and organize your home, join us in Organized Life Academy for half off right now! --> https://simlysquaredaway.com/yes Think you need to be glued to social media 24/7 to build a successful coaching business? Think again. Today, I’m showing you a completely different and way simpler path to building a thriving fitness‑coaching business without living on Instagram. On this episode, I talk with Ria Zervos, a longtime fitness pro turned business coach for health and fitness coaches. After 22 years in the gym industry (from the towel desk to managing large corporate group‑exercise programs, running trade shows, coordinating presenters - she’s done it all), Ria now lives in Costa Rica and helps fitness professionals build legit online businesses without depending on social media algorithms or daily posting. We dig into why so many fitness pros struggle to get paid what they deserve, how they often overlook the goldmine sitting right under their noses (their existing network), and Ria walks us step‑by‑step through how she helps her clients build real businesses by talking to real people. No cold DMs. No burnout. Just real conversations, clear programs, and smart positioning. We cover: Why social‑media fame doesn’t equal financial success. How to use your everyday network, from your hairdresser and doctor to the barista at your favorite cafe, to build a client base. The three critical things every fitness coach’s profile (on any platform) needs: who you are, who you serve, and what you offer. How to craft and test a simple, logical coaching program before trying to sell it online. Why collaborating with other coaches (even those you view as “competition”) can help you both grow. Small offline/low-tech marketing tactics that actually work (think coffee‑shop chats, spa tables, even flyers in a chiropractor’s office). Whether you’re a fitness pro ready to quit the treadmill of social media or just a coach who wants to simplify how you get clients, this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn Why relying on social media alone won’t pay the bills, and what will. How to turn everyday people you already know (or bump into) into clients by simply talking about what you do. The three messaging questions every coach’s profile needs to answer (even if you don’t use social media). How to build a coaching program with clear steps and tangible outcomes that sell (without confusing or overwhelming people). How to collaborate strategically with other coaches, even those who seem like competitors, to expand your reach. Simple, low‑tech ways to get your first clients (flyers in waiting rooms, spa or yoga‑studio events, bringing snacks, yes, snacks!).

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.

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.

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 Join the waitlist for my Black Friday: 5 Days. 5 Deals to get early access to the deals and to be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/bf For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/137
