In this episode we unravel the myth of having it all together with the fabulous Sarah Bowser 'spreadsheet sorceress, chaos curator', and all-around legend at making systems work her way.

If you've ever looked at your overflowing inbox, cluttered calendar, or post-it parade and thought, "Shouldn't I have figured this out by now?" this episode is your permission slip to breathe, laugh, and lean into the mess.

In this episode Suzanne and Sarah discuss:

• The Myth of Perfection: Spoiler alert nobody has it all together. We chat about why the people who look organised are often just better at dancing with their chaos.
• Crochet & Chaos: What can yarn teach us about life? A lot, actually. Learn why the messy backside of a crochet project is the perfect metaphor for our behind-the-scenes reality.
• Systems That Fit (Not Force): Why cookie-cutter productivity hacks rarely work and how to create custom setups that actually support your unique brain.
• Permission to Pivot: Tried something and it flopped? Good. Sarah shares why experimentation is key and why you’re never stuck on one path.
• Time, Money, Energy: The real currencies of life, and how to balance them when trying new tools, tactics, or timelines.

Whether you're a planner addict, a chaos-tolerant rebel, or somewhere in between, this episode reminds you: You don’t need to get your shit together like anyone else, just in a way that makes sense for you.

Bonus: Sarah’s hosting the upcoming Get Your Shit Together Summit, so if this convo hits home, you’ll definitely want to catch her and Suzanne there for more insights, laughs, and real talk, Register here: https://getyourshittogethersummit.com/?affiliate=suzanneculberg (affiliate link)

In this episode Suzanne pulls back the curtain and lets you in on something brand new (and a little bit wild). She’s publicly documenting the messy, magical, and very real process of creating, launching, and selling a membership in real time.

This isn’t a course. It’s not a blueprint. It’s definitely not one of those “just follow my 3-step method to six-figure success” gigs.

Instead, this is:

• A raw, honest audio diary of what’s working (and what’s not).

• Behind-the-scenes insight into the emotional rollercoaster of launching something new.

• A peek into how Suzanne is juggling business-building with parenting, life, and everything else.

• A transparent look at real numbers, real decisions, and real questions from listeners like YOU.

If you're over the highlight reels and starving for real talk from someone who’s actually doing the thing (with zero filters and full permission to fail publicly), this is your golden backstage pass.

Whether you're building your own membership or just love witnessing unfiltered business experiments this one’s for you.

In this episode Suzanne and Michelle discuss:

• Affiliate Marketing 101: What it actually is (spoiler: not a pyramid scheme) and how you can use it without having your own business.

• Keeping It Human: Contracts with heart? Yep. It’s all about connection, clarity, and making sure no one’s left confused or out of pocket.
