Looking ahead to 2026 (and what’s shifting)


Hey Reader,

We’ve had a year.

My husband and I are ready to say goodbye to 2025. In case you’re new here, both of his parents passed away this fall, just two and a half months apart. It’s been devastating, but also, we are grateful. We had time with them over the past few years, took them on trips, and made memories. The grief is still heavy, but we did our best with the time we had.

There were moments when the caregiving was also heavy, and I wondered if this business was still the right path. So, I hired a coach. Best decision of 2024. He helped me become a stronger coach, see how my work is evolving, and reconnect with the bigger message I have to share.

As we look ahead, I’m holding hope that 2026 will bring better health for our family… and even more clarity and growth for Simply Enough Amy.

You’ve probably noticed: my coaching isn’t just about decluttering anymore. It never really was.

Because the stuff behind the stuff is life.

  • Your habits
  • Your chaotic calendar
  • The garage of your parents’ things you can’t bring yourself to sort through
  • The business you’re scared to talk about
  • The client you’re hoping will finally say yes

In 2026, my coaching will continue to evolve—into Life and Business Coaching for Women Who Want Less—but Better.

And don’t worry, it’s still 1:1. That’s my one offer. Because it works. Coaching lights me up. (Just ask my husband—he sees the smile on my face after every call, or hears me leave a voice memo on Voxer.)

This fall, I tested something new: a 4-week Business Bootcamp for 12 women entrepreneurs. We focused on:

  • Clarifying their one offer
  • Attracting clients
  • Simplifying social media
  • Mapping real revenue goals into real calendars

It was wildly successful (and so much fun).

At first, I wondered—Who am I to teach business?
But then I remembered: I’ve been doing this since 2016. I do have things to share. And in 2026, I plan to share even more.

So now, it’s your turn.
What are your life and business goals for 2026?

Hit reply and tell me—in one sentence. Keep it easy. I read and respond to every reply, and I promise you’ll see articles, videos, and resources from me that speak directly to your goals.

I’m taking some time off over the holidays to rest and recharge, but it would mean the world to me if you filled my inbox with your hopes for the new year.

Let’s chart our paths together.

All my best,
Amy

Hey Reader, If you've ever typed "what should I charge as a professional organizer" into Google, you already know what comes back. A range so wide it's basically useless. So I made a video that actually answers the question. Not with a number. With a framework that's built around how and when you want to work, what you need to earn, and the pricing model that creates consistent income instead of unpredictable months. We start with a math problem. I want you to think about your last organizing...

Hey Reader, We’re moving into summer fast. The school routine is gone, work is a little slower, and “flexible” can quickly turn into chaos. I’ve coached enough women through the summer slide to know that without some structure in place, June momentum becomes August exhaustion. The kids notice. So does your calendar and your bank account. Our son is launched, but Steve and I still build a summer rhythm on purpose. It’s intentional, just the way I like it. Here’s what we actually do: Sunday...

Hey Reader, I'm hearing this from women who are running businesses and those who want to start one. "I'll figure it out when the kids go back to school.""I just need to get through summer.""I've got a lot going on, and it's not the best time for my business." I get it. The calendar is loose. The kids are home. Vacation needs planning. Aging parents need visits. 🙋♀️ A business is one more thing competing for the same hours. But here's the thing: it's never going to be the right time to grow...
