Who knew food and business had so many things in common!

Today, I talk with binge-eating specialist Amber Abila to explore the powerful parallels between overcoming binge eating and overcoming procrastination in business.

Amber shares her transformative journey from food struggles to becoming binge-free and offers insight into her six-step method for rewiring habits. Together, they unpack how identity, urges, mindset, and even rewards can impact not only eating behavior but also how we show up in our work.

Whether you find yourself procrastinating tasks in your business or reaching for snacks to avoid discomfort, this conversation will help you shift your perspective and take aligned action.

• The game-changing thought that binge eating is just a habit—and how this mindset applies to procrastination.
• Why labeling yourself (e.g., “a procrastinator” or “a binge eater”) holds you back from change.
• How food noise parallels mental clutter and business disorganization.
• The role of scarcity vs. abundance mindset in both food and business.
• Amber’s six-step process to becoming a confident eater—and how it mirrors the habits needed for entrepreneurial success.
• Why it’s okay to rest and how using food (or productivity) as a break may be masking emotional needs.
• How to start trusting your intuition through body awareness.

Let’s talk about letting go and doing it way faster.

If you're anything like me and my clients, letting go can feel emotionally heavy and unnecessarily hard.

But what if it didn’t have to be?

In this episode, I’m walking you through the three-step decision-making framework that came straight out of a recent Organized Life Academy coaching call. This framework will help you change the way you think about your stuff. Whether it’s physical clutter, digital overwhelm, or outdated business ideas, this process helps you finally make decisions (and stop circling around them for months).

I’ll also share details about a one-time-only secret-room organizing event you’re invited to. It’s part workshop, part BTS (behind the scenes) peek at me decluttering a room that’s gotten completely out of hand (again).

➡️ Register for the workshop on October 17, 2025, at https://simplysquaredaway.com/secret.

If you want to see the organizing steps in action and how I actually make decisions in real life, don’t miss this!

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why letting go actually gets easier when you do this first

• The simple rule one client uses to decide what ideas to keep or let go of.

• How to shift your mindset after making a decision so you don’t regret it later

• What clutter really is (spoiler: it’s not what you think)

• A blunt but freeing perspective on business offers, clothes, and all the “what if I need it later?” items

• Exactly how I’m prepping for my second round of decluttering in my infamous “secret room”

Martine Williams is here to change that. This conversation completely reframed burnout for me, and I think it’ll do the same for you.

Martine also shares her favorite tool for understanding your personality and energy patterns and how you can use that insight to run your business in a way that works for you.

This conversation is packed with practical ideas and mindset shifts, especially if you’ve been feeling off or like business is harder than it should be.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What burnout really is and how to recognize it
• Why burnout often comes from doing too little of what lights you up
• How to stop comparing your strengths to someone else’s

What if the real reason you're struggling to manage your time isn’t your calendar, or your to-do list, or your never-ending sticky notes, but what you believe about yourself?

And the fact that you don't have a system for time management?

In this episode, I share the truth behind why saying things like “I’m terrible at time management” keeps you stuck… and what to do instead.

Spoiler: We’re flipping that narrative today and rewiring your brain to believe you are extremely good at time management.

I’ll also walk you through my signature SPACE organizing method (yes, the same one I use for your closet) and show you exactly how to use it for your time.

That means sorting your tasks, purging them (get ready for the 4 D’s), assigning them a home, and finally building a container that energizes you to follow through.

If your calendar looks like a battlefield, this episode is your new system, mindset, and strategy all in one.

You’ll learn:

• The one belief that’s sabotaging your time management (and how to flip it fast)

• How to use the SPACE method to organize your calendar like you do your closet or your kitchen

• What to do before you open your planner or calendar

• Why batching, time blocks, and categories simplify everything

• The “delay bucket” trick that stops idea overload

• How containment creates clarity, calm, and structure for your brain

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working constantly but your bank account still isn’t reflecting your effort… this episode is going to feel like a warm (and slightly convicting) hug.

Today, I’m joined by productivity expert and founder of Daily Success Routine, Jamila Payne, and we’re diving into the kind of productivity that actually moves the needle: Profit-Driven Productivity.

Jamila shares exactly why traditional time management doesn’t work for service-based business owners (hello, coaching calls and client work taking over our calendars), and what we should be doing instead. We also talk about the real reasons we avoid sales-generating work, how to rewire your daily routines, and the sneaky ways we productively procrastinate (yep, it’s a thing - bougie productivity.)

She even walks us through her signature daily routines that help you double your income without sacrificing your evenings and weekends.

This one is jam-packed with golden nuggets, so grab a pen or open your Notes app. You’re going to want to revisit these insights again and again.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What “profit-driven productivity” actually looks like
• Why traditional time blocking fails coaches and service providers
• The ONE simple mindset shift that will change how you plan your day
• How to build time-based to-do lists that set you up for success
• Why outsourcing (even just a few hours) is part of your revenue plan (and a unique resource)
• 4 daily routines that help you reclaim time and increase income
• How to identify your productive procrastination habits and overcome them
• The key levers that helped Jamila’s clients grow from $500 in sales to consistent $10K months

What if you could become more organized just by shifting how you see yourself?

In this first-ever co-hosted episode, I team up with another brilliant organizing coach to nerd out about mindset, identity, and systems. We realized we share a foundational belief: it all starts with how you think about yourself.

Do you believe you’re disorganized? That identity could be the very thing keeping you stuck.

We get into all of it, from alter egos and decluttering shame to the reason containers aren’t the solution (yes, even the cute ones from Target). Plus, we each share our own organizing methods: mine is called SPACE, and hers involves the Four P’s and the Amber method.

We also talk about why it feels impossible to stay organized, what to do when your brain rejects “I’m extremely organized", and the tiny tweak that makes a HUGE difference in your environment.

What you’ll learn:

• How identity and mindset impact your organizing success

• The SPACE Method: A 5-step system to create and maintain order

• The Four P’s Framework: Prep, Purge, Process, Protect

• The Amber Method for mindfulness while decluttering

• Tips for using alter egos to break through mental clutter

• The power of linking maintenance to routines you already do

This is a mix of Amber and me, all wrapped up in one conversation.
