The Business Edit: Declutter and Organize your Business

If you’ve ever felt like your business success hinges on doing all the things — client work, marketing, content creation, sales pages, admin, launches, and trying to do it all perfectly — then this episode is going to feel like a deep breath of fresh air. In this week’s episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast, I’m joined by the incredibly honest and insightful Megan Yelaney to talk about what it really takes to scale your business in a sustainable, aligned, and life-giving way — especially if you’re a mom or a service-based business owner craving more structure, flow, and ease.Megan scaled her coaching business to seven figures by leaning into her "distinctive edge" — a term she coined to describe the unique blend of your story, approach, personality, and signature framework. She shares how getting crystal clear on her unique method (and trusting it enough to scale it) allowed her to expand her business with ease, stay true to herself, and avoid burnout. And as a mom of twins, she knows firsthand what it looks like to balance ambition with a life-first business model.If you’ve been asking yourself, "What makes me different?" or wondering how to scale without burning out, you’re going to love this conversation. Tune into this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast to learn how to uncover your distinctive edge and scale with confidence.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/scaling-your-distinctive-edge-with-megan-yelaneyLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Megan Yelaney’s InstagramPretty Awkward Entrepreneur Podcast (soon to be renamed!)Megan’s Free Business Story BlueprintEpisodes 110 and 114 | Interviews with 9 moms running businesses while keeping kids at home CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast Archive

Feeling overwhelmed by your endless to-do list? You’re not alone — but what if you’ve been tackling it all wrong? In this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast, we’re diving into the Pomodoro Method — but not the way you’ve heard about it before. If you think Pomodoro is just about setting a timer for 25 minutes and cranking out as much work as possible, you might be missing the point (and the real productivity boost).In this episode, I break down how to actually use the Pomodoro Method to avoid burnout, stay focused, and create a rhythm of work and rest that fits your life — whether you’re running a business, managing a household, or both.You’ll learn how to adapt Pomodoro for longer, more creative tasks (hint: 25 minutes isn’t always enough), how to stack Pomodoros effectively, and why the breaks — not the work sprints — might just be the most important part of this strategy. Plus, I’ll walk you through planning active and passive breaks that actually recharge your energy and boost your focus — no more scrolling through Instagram and calling it a “break.”Tune into this episode to discover a new, more effective way to work — one that’s flexible, realistic, and designed to help you stay productive without sacrificing your well-being.

Have you ever felt like you’re constantly chasing an impossible ideal—trying to be an amazing mom, run a thriving business, maintain a fulfilling marriage, stay healthy, and somehow find time for yourself? If so, you’re not alone. The question of whether women can “have it all” is a hot topic, and in this episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I’m sharing my honest take on it. Spoiler alert: my answer might not be what you expect.This conversation is deeply personal for me. I’ve wrestled with this question for years—long before I became a mom—but especially now, in this season of life. There’s so much conflicting messaging out there. On one hand, we’re told we can (and should) do it all. On the other, we hear that something has to give, and we have to choose between our personal and professional lives. Neither perspective has ever fully resonated with me, and I’ve spent a lot of time processing where I land on this.In this episode, I’m sharing a more sustainable way to think about balance, trade-offs, and building a fulfilling life that aligns with your values and current season.If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at both business and motherhood, or if you’re tired of feeling like you need to do more to keep up, this episode is for you. I hope you walk away with clarity, encouragement, and practical steps to redefine success on your terms.
