What do you really want? And what if you’re not even sure how to answer that question?

In this episode, I’m talking with money manifestation coach Jamie Berman about what manifestation actually means and how it can help us create more of what we want from abundance in our businesses and lives to becoming a more organized version of ourselves.

Jamie shares how she went from being terrified of being seen and speaking in front of people to building a successful coaching business, and why learning to trust herself played such a big role in that transformation. We also talk about her decision to walk away from a successful niche when it no longer felt like the work she wanted to do.

We get into manifestation from a faith perspective, including Jamie’s belief that it can be about partnering with God rather than trying to control everything ourselves. She explains why getting clear on what you want matters, how visualization and vision boards can help, and why taking action and surrendering the outcome can exist together.

We also talk about what happens when you’re genuinely content with your life and don’t know what you want next. Jamie shares some really good questions for uncovering desires that have nothing to do with getting a bigger house, a nicer car, or more stuff.

And, of course, I ask her how all of this applies to getting organized. If you’ve spent years believing, “I’m just not an organized person,” what would happen if you started seeing yourself as someone who could become organized and began practicing being her?

In this episode, we talk about:

What manifestation actually means and how Jamie approaches it through faith

Getting clear on what you really want

Being content with your life while still allowing yourself to desire more

Using vision boards, visualization, journaling, and other practices

How your beliefs and identity influence what you create

Becoming the person you want to be before you fully believe you’re her

Taking action without needing to know exactly how everything will happen

Trusting yourself when you feel called to make a change

Surrendering the outcome instead of trying to control it

If you’ve been thinking about what you want in this next season or wondering whether you’re even allowed to want something more when your life is already good, I think you’ll love this conversation.

You’ve decluttered. You’ve created systems. You actually know how to organize. So why can one pile of papers on the counter make you feel like you’re a complete mess?

There’s a big difference between being disorganized and feeling disorganized. And what’s happening around you doesn’t have to become evidence of who you are.

In this episode, I share a recent coaching example of a client who came to our call feeling like a “hot mess,” even though she’s actually very organized. What she really had were open loops. Once we identified what needed to happen and when she was going to do it, nothing had actually been completed—but she felt completely different.

That’s because feeling organized isn’t about the absence of disorder. It’s about your relationship to the disorder that’s currently there.

We’ll talk about why “I’m a mess” feels so different from “These papers need decisions,” how our old 10-second scripts become well-worn paths in our brains, and why getting rid of more stuff may never make you feel organized if your definition of organized is “nothing left to organize.”

You’ll also hear two simple analogies—being a good cook and rerouting while driving—that will help you rethink what it actually means to be organized.

An organized person is someone who knows how to create order when and where she needs it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why feeling disorganized is different from being disorganized

How open loops contribute to overwhelm

Why a pile of papers doesn’t determine whether you’re organized

How to replace judgment with thoughts that point you toward action

Why your definition of “organized” may be impossible to achieve

Why getting rid of more stuff won’t necessarily make you feel organized

How to start collecting evidence that you already know how to create order

Why getting back on track is evidence that you’re organized—not evidence that you failed

Instead of asking, “What still needs to be organized?” start noticing where you already demonstrate the skill of creating order.

You may already possess the skill you’ve been waiting for your house to prove you have.

Decluttering is NOT about the stuff.

In this episode, I’m talking with professional organizer and Declutter Hub cofounder Lesley Spellman about what’s really happening underneath our clutter. We explore the emotions that can make letting go difficult, including guilt, aspiration, and the stories we attach to our belongings.

Lesley shares three key ingredients for decluttering success: kindness toward yourself, having a meaningful goal for your home, and being realistic about your space, energy, and season of life. We also talk about why starting somewhere easier can help you build your “decluttering muscle” before tackling the sentimental stuff.

Plus, we take a peek behind the scenes of The Declutter Hub to hear how Lesley and Ingrid organize their own business using Asana, SOPs, and simple systems that have evolved over time.

If you’ve ever wondered why you know you want to declutter but still have such a hard time letting things go, this conversation will help you understand what may really be keeping you stuck.

What’s keeping you from getting organized?

You may think you need more time, better systems, or more motivation. But often, there are two gaps between where you are now and where you want to be: a skill gap and a mindset gap.

In this episode, I break down both and show you how the SPACE Method helps you practice the skills of organizing, while your thoughts, beliefs, and identity can either move you forward or keep you stuck.

I also share a lesson I learned while cross-stitching a Christmas stocking and why organizing isn’t just about reaching the finished result. It’s about who you become in the process.

Plus, you’ll learn how to start building a “bank of evidence” with every small win so you can prove to yourself that becoming an organized person really is possible for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The two gaps that may be keeping you from getting organized

Why organizing is a skill you can learn and practice

How perfectionism and your thoughts can keep you stuck

Why becoming organized is about more than your stuff

How to build a bank of evidence that you ARE becoming an organized person

If Point B is an organized home and a more organized you, you don’t have to wait until you arrive to feel successful. Start noticing the evidence that you’re already on your way and build your bank of evidence!

Have you ever thought, “I KNOW what to do. Why am I not doing it?”

Maybe you know you need to organize your office, clean up your files, work on your business, or take better care of yourself. But knowing and doing are two very different things.

In this episode, I’m talking with Samantha Hawley, host of the Beyond Awareness podcast, about what’s really happening when we know what to do but still aren’t doing it.

Samantha shares how our beliefs can keep us stuck and why more discipline isn’t always the answer. We also talk about journaling, all-or-nothing thinking, and her five prompts for moving from awareness to action.

You’ll learn:

Why knowing what to do isn’t enough

What your procrastination might be protecting you from

How all-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuck

Samantha’s five prompts: Awareness, Meaning, Curiosity, Clarity, and Action

Why doing a little bit still counts

How journaling can help you uncover what’s really going on
