150 | Want to Work Less? Do This with Jenna Harrison

For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/150 I'm kicking off 2026 with a conversation about how to work less. Sounds desirable, right? Jenna Harrison is my guest and the founder of The Uncommon Way. She is a coach whose own business evolution went from frantic hustle to a thoughtful 24‑hour workweek that supports her creativity, family life, and joy. In this episode, Jenna shares how she overcame burnout, what shifted for her personally and professionally, and the mindset and framework she now uses to help other coaches reclaim their time and create more purposeful impact (without working more hours). We unpack the sneaky thoughts that pull us back into overworking, why constraints spark creativity, and how to stop doing things “just because.” We get into nervous system patterns, tactical boundaries like scheduling CEO time, and how creative business results come from resonance, not hours. Whether you feel overwhelmed, guilty for trying to take breaks, or stuck thinking “I’ll just finish one more thing first,” this episode is going to shift how you think about time, energy, creativity, and productivity — and give you permission to design the life you actually want instead of the one you inherited from hustle culture. What You’ll Learn Why Jenna shifted to a 24‑hour workweek and how she maintained business growth in the process The deep thoughts that keep coaches working more than they want to How constraints (like limited hours) actually boost prioritization, intuition, and strategic thinking Jenna’s three‑pillar framework: Offers • Systems • You (CEO mindset) The role of nervous system regulation in creative business output Practical ways to reclaim time + stop the “I’ll just do this first” trap What real CEO time is and why it’s non‑negotiable A simple starting question to shift your time and results

148 | How to Make a Decision Using the DONE Framework

If you often find yourself stuck in indecision or spinning in your thoughts long after a decision should have been made, today’s episode will feel like a deep exhale. I teach a simple and powerful process called the DONE Framework that helps you make confident choices without overwhelm or second-guessing. Women often think they have a decision problem when, in reality, they have a swirl of emotions and past evidence clouding their thinking. The DONE Framework brings you back to clarity by helping you define the real decision, observe it from your future self, notice what aligns with your values and identity, and execute the simplest next step. In this episode, I explain the framework step by step and then walk through four common scenarios so you can hear exactly how the method works in real life. You will learn how to use the DONE Framework to decide whether to join Organized Life Academy, where to begin organizing your home, how to handle sentimental items, and whether to bring in support to lighten your load. You will also hear why decisions create energy, how identity plays a major role in follow-through, and why past attempts do not determine your future success. You Will Learn... How to use the DONE Framework to make any decision Why naming the actual decision immediately reduces confusion How your future self gives clearer answers than your past self How to choose in a way that aligns with your values and identity What it looks like to execute a decision without drama or pressure For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/148

147 | Not Organized? Five Organizing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Join Organized Life Academy today and get the Time Blocking Training for free! Go to: https://simplysquaredaway.com/yes  If you have tried again and again to get organized and it still feels hard, discouraging, or inconsistent, this episode will show you why. Most people think they struggle because they lack willpower or skill, but the real issue is that they are approaching organizing with a hidden mindset and process mistakes that sabotage them before they even begin. In this episode, I walk you through the five biggest organizing mistakes I see over and over in homes, businesses, and life. When you understand these patterns and use the simple shifts I teach today, getting organized becomes easier, more doable, and surprisingly peaceful. Here is what you will learn: Why starting from the identity of a disorganized person keeps you stuck The missing step almost everyone skips: planning The belief that you should feel like organizing when the time comes Expecting to be good at organizing from the beginning Looking at everything instead of focusing on one project at a time And a little bonus: you're not celebrating your progress, which keeps you in a state of discouragement. Celebrating the gain transforms your motivation and helps you see yourself as someone who follows through. By the end of this episode, you will understand exactly why you have struggled in the past and how to approach organizing in a way that works for your brain, your schedule, and your identity. You 100% can become an organized person. These shifts will help you get there. For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/147

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.

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.
