In this episode, I'm talking with Laura Conley about how to love your body, lose weight, and still run a bold, visible business.
Okay… I don’t think I’ve ever had a conversation quite like this one on the podcast - eating, body image, weight loss goals, and running a business with all the visibility that comes with it.
So, of course, I had to bring in Laura Conley, certified life and weight loss coach and founder of The Yummy Mummy Experience. This episode is packed with real talk, big mindset shifts, and so many mic-drop moments you’ll want to scribble down (or pause and replay ten times like I did).
We discuss what emotional eating truly is, how to recognize it without judgment, and how to work towards your goals with love and self-trust, rather than shame.
We discussed:
Can you love your body AND want to lose weight?
How your food chatter is showing up in your business
Why it’s okay to want to feel HOT and what that means for your confidence
Emotional eating as a check engine light and not a failure
Delicious dopamine vs. detrimental dopamine
How two outfits can seriously change your visibility game
Get ready to laugh, reflect, and walk away with tangible tools (and maybe a few new phrases like “glimmer hunting” and “delicious dopamine”).
You’ll Learn:
How emotional eating impacts your business energy and decision-making
The secret to loving yourself and still wanting more for your health
Why naming your “diet brain” might be the most freeing thing ever
How to shift out of food as your only coping mechanism
The power of celebrating yourself like a crazy person (trust us, it works)

You Thought You Were Just Organizing—But This Is What’s Really Happening
Have you ever started organizing your house, your office, your email inbox—thinking, “This time I’m going to be SO focused”… and suddenly, you’re crying?
Or maybe you just zone out. Two hours pass. Nothing’s done. You’re overwhelmed, discouraged, and the clutter’s still staring back at you.
That doesn’t mean you’re lazy. It doesn’t mean you’re disorganized. It means you’re coming up against the real work of organizing—and it has way more to do with your identity than your stuff.
In this episode of The Organized Coach Podcast, I dive into what organizing is really about. Yes, it’s about decluttering and structure.
But more than that? It’s about who you’re becoming in the process.
Key points:
Why organizing often triggers emotion, avoidance, or grief
What your clutter is actually trying to tell you
How identity stories like “I’ve always been messy” sabotage your progress
Why letting go of old items is also about letting go of old versions of you
How Organized Life Academy helps you rewrite those stories and become the calm, confident version of yourself
If you’ve ever felt like organization “should” be simple but it never feels that way, this episode will help you feel seen—and supported.
Doors to Organized Life Academy are open now for the rest of 2025!
Join at half price, get June FREE, and finally become the version of you who feels organized every day.

My podcast is the perfect resource if you answered yes to any of these questions.
I’m here to help you organize, systemize, and streamline your life coach business so you can focus on what really matters: helping your clients.
As a 15-year veteran professional organizer and certified life coach, I understand the unique challenges of being an entrepreneur, running a successful business, and serving clients. I’ve helped hundreds of people get organized. However, organizing my own business was more challenging than I thought. I had to figure out what worked, how to create processes, what software programs to use, how to track clients and leads, schedule social media consistently, and so much more.
My journey hasn’t always been easy. I’ve faced my own share of obstacles and setbacks, and I know how difficult it can be to navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, keep things organized, and create systems and procedures, ALL while doing everything else in my business.
That’s why I created this podcast: to share the strategies, tools, and mindset shifts that have helped me build a strong foundation in my own business and help other life coach clients overcome these challenges and succeed on their own terms.
Through my podcast, you’ll learn how to:
🌟 Streamline your business processes and automate repetitive tasks
🌟 Build a solid foundation for scaling and growth
🌟 Develop a healthy, organized mindset that supports your success
🌟 Prioritize and create an organized calendar so you can work less and make more money
🌟 Reach more people and make a bigger impact
🌟 Organize your office, paper, digital assets, Canva, and anything else to help you.
Whether you’re just starting or have had your coaching business for years, my podcast has something for you. If you are diagnosed with ADHD or feel like you’re missing the organizing gene, I can help. If you love all things organizing, join me to learn more!
So, if you’re ready to take your life coach business to the next level, join me on this journey. Let’s organize, systemize, and streamline to become Organized Coaches!
