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, We're halfway through the year. New Year's resolutions might be long gone. But it's a good time to look at some small habits that can make a big difference, especially with your finances. Did you know that the average American household carries over $11,500 in credit card debt? And 78% of us are living paycheck to paycheck. If that's where you are, you're not behind. You're just ready for a different approach, like one of my clients is embracing right now. Let me tell you the...

Hey Reader, I came across a reel this week that stopped my scroll. A woman is standing in her parents' garage. She's trying to clear a path, just enough room for a wheelchair. Because her parents need medical equipment now. A hospital bed is coming. And the garage, like so much of the house, is buried. She's been trying to help her parents deal with this for years. And now they're in crisis. And so is she. In the comments, someone told her to just leave it alone. Use the inheritance to clean...

Hey Reader, I want to tell you about a client I'm working with right now. Let's call her Kathy. Kathy is a recent empty nester with a beautiful home, four incredibly successful kids, and a clutter problem she's been carrying for years. She found me through Joshua Becker's community. She knew she wanted less. She just couldn't seem to get there on her own. Sound familiar? A few weeks in, I have to say, she is one of the most fun clients I've ever worked with. The breakthroughs are coming fast....
