If you've ever felt completely overwhelmed by the state of your home and the mental load that comes with it, you're not alone. Whether you’re constantly managing toys, laundry, paperwork, or just the general chaos of motherhood, it can feel like a never-ending task list with no breathing room. In this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast, I’m joined by Megan Smith of Stress Less Organizing to talk about how to simplify your home and reclaim your energy—especially if you're juggling ADHD, parenting, business ownership, or all of the above.

Megan is a South Dakota farm wife, mom of three, elementary teacher, and the voice behind The Stress Less Podcast. She’s also the founder of Stress Less Organizing, where she helps busy, overwhelmed moms—especially those with ADHD—declutter their homes and build simple, sustainable systems that actually work. Her 4-step method to organizing any space is rooted in real life, not Pinterest perfection. As someone who’s learned how to make her home work with her brain instead of against it, Megan brings a fresh, judgment-free approach to home organization—focused on making motherhood more manageable, one reset at a time.

Whether you're drowning in toys, struggling to find the energy to declutter, or just want to feel a little more in control of your environment, this episode is for you. Megan brings so much clarity, compassion, and real-life strategies that will help you reduce home stress and make space for what really matters.

What if the key to your next big breakthrough in business isn’t in hustling harder, but in actually slowing down? If you’ve been caught in the cycle of go-go-go, pushing toward the next goal while ignoring how exhausted you feel, then this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast is one you need to hear. I’m joined by Sarah Watson, leadership consultant and self-proclaimed "Creator of Calm" at The Restoration Project, to talk about the power of pause in business and why slowing down might be your best productivity hack yet.

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Sarah shares why redefining success is essential for long-term sustainability and how her own shift from constant striving to intentional planning has made her work and life more fulfilling. We talk about toxic productivity, separating your self-worth from your work, and how to create a business that honors both your ambition and your humanity. And for those of you leading a team or considering your first hire, Sarah gives tangible advice on what it really looks like to lead well (hint: it doesn’t mean having all the answers).

Whether you’re scaling your team or managing it all solo, you’ll walk away from this conversation with a renewed perspective on what success looks like in different seasons — and why letting go of "busy" is often the most powerful move you can make. If you’re ready to stop chasing "more" and start building something that lasts, hit play on this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast.

What if true success in business isn’t about chasing bigger goals, hitting higher revenue milestones, or constantly being "on" — but about learning to be content with what you’ve already built? In this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast, I’m joined by my long-time client and friend, Lindsy Trotter, the founder of Chilled Freezer Meals, to talk about what it looks like to slow down and scale back while embracing contentment in a season of maintenance rather than hustle for constant growth.

This is the kind of conversation I wish more women in business were having — the honest behind-the-scenes of what happens after you hit the big numbers, grow your team, and build the business you once dreamed about. What if that "success" doesn’t feel the way you expected it to? What if instead of more hustle, your next move is actually less?

If you’re feeling pulled in a hundred directions, questioning your next step, or simply craving a slower pace of business, tune in to this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast for a refreshing, real-life perspective on what success can look like when you give yourself permission to grow differently.

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.

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. Hit play on The Business Edit™ Podcast now, and start simplifying your to-do list today!

What if the key to a fulfilling, joyful life isn’t found in big, milestone moments — but in your ordinary, everyday routines? In this week’s episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast, I’m joined by Emily Reuschel, a coach, speaker, and host of the Gather in Growth podcast. Together, we dive into what it really means to build a life you love around your "average Tuesday" — the mundane, unglamorous days that actually make up most of our lives.

Emily gets real about her journey from burnt-out teacher to thriving entrepreneur — and the messy, beautiful process of shedding society’s expectations to uncover what truly matters. She shares how redefining success, embracing imperfection, and leaning into life’s seasons transformed her personal life and business.

If you’re tired of feeling like you have to earn your worth through hustle and achievement, this conversation will meet you where you are.
