You don’t need a viral story; you just need this strategy.

When I was introduced to Megan Yelaney and binged her podcast, I immediately knew we had to talk. She’s built multiple million-dollar businesses, all by leaning into one thing: her story.

In this episode, Megan walks us through her entrepreneurial journey, the pivots she’s made (from network marketing to health coaching to business coaching), and how she finally found alignment in her message by doubling down on her unique approach.

But the part I really wanted her to unpack for you? How your personal story, yes, even the one you think is “boring,” can become the most powerful tool in your business.

We dive into her 5-part storytelling framework (The Business Story Blueprint), how to craft your story in a way that gets clients saying “I need to work with you,” and why sharing it every single week is the simplest way to create demand.

If you’re a coach who struggles to stand out or second-guesses whether your journey is “inspirational enough,” this one’s a must-listen.

We also chat about:

• Megan’s million-dollar group program strategy (and what she’d do differently now)

• The behind-the-scenes of separating and reconciling her marriage, and how that impacted her business

• Why she deleted offers, cut income, and got hyper-focused after becoming a twin mom

• The exact script to share your story with a strong call to action

• Why repetition is the key to a thriving business (even if you’re bored with your own message)

What You’ll Learn:

• How to identify your “catalyst moment” and make it relatable

• The 5-part storytelling formula that converts followers into clients

• The biggest mistake most coaches make when telling their story

• The two tools Megan swears by to stay organized (and how she uses them)

This Is What Freedom Feels Like After Getting Organized

You know that panicked feeling when someone unexpectedly rings your doorbell and your house looks like a tornado blew through? Yeah, we’re not doing that anymore.

In this final episode of our 4-part series on the real cost of disorganization, I’m walking you through what’s on the other side...FREEDOM.

Real, deep, life-giving freedom that doesn’t just look like a clean countertop. It's the emotional clarity, the self-trust, the ability to show up confidently and stop feeling behind.

I sat down before recording and jotted down specific examples - 17 years' worth of transformation stories - and I’m sharing them here.

But first, a quick recap if you are just tuning in:

• Episode one uncovered the hidden stories that keep you stuck
• Episode two dug into the weight of overwhelm and why willpower is not the answer

Today, we are talking about freedom. What it looks like. What it feels like. And why it matters so much more than just having a tidy drawer. Because organizing is not just about stuff. It is about changing how you relate to yourself.

This episode is packed with real client stories and examples that will help you visualize what life can look like on the other side, from clearing emotional baggage to building trust in your future self to finally feeling at peace in your home and business. This is the vision you have been waiting for.

Do you ever look around at your clutter and feel a wave of guilt, sadness, or just… stuck? You're not alone.

In part three of our four-part series, The Real Cost of Disorganization, we’re digging into the emotional roots of clutter, and it might get a little personal. Because let’s be honest: disorganization usually isn’t about laziness, lack of time, or not knowing where to start. It’s about what the stuff means to us.

I’m sharing what I’ve learned from my own clients, a hoarding specialist, and my personal experience to help you uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. This episode is gentle, powerful, and honestly, might be the moment everything clicks.

We’ll explore:

• How grief, guilt, shame, and perfectionism sneak into our closets, drawers, and digital clutter.

• Why clutter is often your brain’s protective mechanism.

• What your space might be trying to tell you.

• And how to finally move forward with peace, not pressure.

I’ll walk you through a 3-step process to begin releasing the emotional weight behind your clutter. It’s simple, powerful, and something you can do right away, no bins, no fancy labels, just real emotional clarity.

• Why your clutter might actually be grief, shame, or fear in disguise.

• The surprising connection between trauma and disorganization.

• How to spot emotional roots like guilt, perfectionism, or control.

• The 3-step method to identify and release emotional clutter.

  1. Name the Emotion.

  2. Switch from judgment to curiosity using questions like:

     • What is this space trying to tell me?

     • What story is this clutter holding?

     • What part of me is it protecting?

     • What season of life is this tied to?

  3. Choose one compassionate action to take (and what that might look like).
