What if your marketing didn’t need to be so complicated?

I LOVED this conversation with Melissa Kellogg Lueck because it brings us back to what matters most --> connection.

If you’ve ever felt like you were trying all the things and none of it was working, or if you’ve found yourself constantly learning about marketing instead of actually doing it… this one’s for you.

Melissa is a marketing coach for women entrepreneurs and the host of the Doing Business Like a Woman podcast. With 20 years of experience running her own marketing business, she knows how to help you simplify and finally create a sustainable strategy that gets results.

In this episode, Melissa breaks down the three core marketing activities that apply to EVERY business, how to build your own one-page marketing plan, and why your energy matters more than any algorithm ever could.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels and second-guessing every marketing decision, this episode will help you refocus, simplify, and finally take aligned action.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why all marketing works—and what really makes the difference
• The truth about overlearning and under-earning
• How to build a one-page marketing plan (yes, for real)
• The 3 essential marketing activities you should be doing right now
• What to do when your marketing "isn't working"

Most people think decluttering happens when things get out of control. A closet is too full. The kitchen feels messy. The inbox is overwhelming. So we react. We grab a bag, throw things away, and hope it helps.

But real peace does not come from panic purging. It comes from having a plan.

In this episode, Tracy shares how she creates the declutter plan for Organized Life Academy every year and how you can use the exact same process to organize your home, your office, and even your digital life. Whether you feel overwhelmed by physical clutter or buried in emails and files, this episode will help you see decluttering as a simple, doable project instead of something that never ends.

You will hear how breaking your year into focused months removes overwhelm, how choosing your destination before you start makes decision-making easy, and how even small fifteen-minute sessions can create massive progress when you are working a plan.

This episode is for anyone who wants a calm home, a clear workspace, and a life that feels lighter instead of heavier.

• How to create a declutter plan for the year using twelve monthly focus areas
• Why decluttering works better when it is planned instead of rushed
• How to use the same system for your home and your business
• Why choosing your intention before you start makes everything easier
• How to use fifteen-minute sessions to stay consistent without burnout
• What questions to ask so you know what to keep and what to let go of

Decluttering works best when it is planned, not when it is panicked.

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.
