    Blind Obedience: Trusting God When You Don't Feel Ready with Lauren Jacobs

    Send us Fan Mail A fear of public speaking, a calling to teach, and a moment of timing so precise it stops you in your tracks. I’m joined by Lauren Jacobs, a Bible scholar, theologian, author, former psychologist and journalist, and TEDx speaker, and we go deep on what it really means to follow God when the next step feels bigger than your capacity. We talk about blind obedience, not as hype, but as a daily practice of doing the thing you’re asked to do before you can see how it will work out. Lauren shares her early years working in frontline trauma response, what she learned while researching abuse and the church, and how God shifted her from private notebooks into public ministry. We also unpack a powerful story of prayer and healing, and why testimony can strengthen faith even when we don’t understand the mechanics. Along the way, we name a quiet pressure many women carry: the belief that we must be more qualified before we can lead, teach, write, build, or speak. Because this is Beyond Organised, we bring it back to real life: peace before productivity, time stewardship rather than time management, and what trust looks like when decisions affect your whole family. I share honestly about a hard year, tight budgets, and learning to release control, while Lauren opens up about a writing sabbatical, creative “downloads”, and how God can use our work to heal us while it helps others.

    Two Years Of She’s Organised: Behind The Scenes

    Send us Fan Mail Two years ago I said yes to God and started She’s Organised without a plan, and the truth is it’s stretched me in every direction. Today I’m taking you behind the scenes of what it’s really been like to build an online Christian coaching business while raising a family, learning new skills, and trying to stay faithful when the numbers and the timing don’t always make sense. I talk through the five pillars of balance I teach (time, money, self-care, home, and work) and why Christian productivity has to look different. It’s not about cramming more into already-full days, it’s about stewardship, boundaries, and doing what matters most. I also share the hard parts: investing down to the last cent, working long days, making mistakes, and real moments of fear. Along the way, God keeps bringing me back to surrender, not as a nice idea, but as a lived practice when outcomes are out of my control. You’ll hear what I’m celebrating too: the coaching frameworks I’ve refined, the impact I’ve seen in women’s lives, the growth of the podcast, and the vision I’m carrying into year three. I break down what’s next with the She’s Organised Hub and a bigger focus on deeper private coaching for capable, driven women who look like they’ve got it together, but feel tired, stretched, and disconnected inside. If you’re ready for peace before productivity, come listen, share this with a friend who needs it, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s coming next.  After you’ve listened, what’s one area where you need to loosen your grip and trust God more?

    Rediscovering Yourself After Burnout with Josephine Booth

    Send us Fan Mail Burnout isn’t just “too much to do” it’s what happens when your life stops feeling like it belongs to you. We sit down with Josephine Booth, a primary school teacher turned empowerment and mindset coach, to talk about the moment many women hit: waking up and realising they don’t recognise their own choices, routines, or identity anymore. We get practical about mindset coaching, breaking down how limiting beliefs and unconscious patterns quietly drive behaviour, relationships, and self-worth. Josephine shares why she’s not here to make you a new woman, and why the real work is reconnecting with who you are at your core. We talk micro steps that actually stick, the power of alignment, and why you can’t figure out your next move from a burnt-out place. Then we bridge mindset with real-world organisation: time blocking, colour-coded calendars, meal prep, weekly outfit planning, and planning ahead to reduce decision fatigue and mental load. We also explore a “bare minimum” approach to daily success, plus a simple end-of-day reset using gratitude, wins, and lessons so you stop measuring yourself against an invisible standard. Follow Josephine on Instagram for more @jojo_booth If you’ve been craving more calm, more clarity, and a life that feels like it’s on your terms again, press play.

    Nervous System Regulation & Emotional Eating with Kirsten Huneyball

    Send us Fan Mail You can be doing “all the right things” with food and still feel hijacked by cravings, rules, shame, or that split-second urge to punish your body. That is why this chat with Kirsten, a somatic coach and felt sense polyvagal model facilitator, goes straight to the root: nervous system regulation. We unpack how polyvagal theory helps explain disordered eating patterns, why behaviours can persist even when you understand them logically, and what it looks like to build safety in the body so recovery is not just willpower. Kirsten shares her personal journey through anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, purging disorder, and exercise addiction, and how her relationship with God became central to healing. We talk about the space many people feel stuck in: wanting spiritual depth but feeling wary of church culture, and wanting psychological tools that actually work in real life. Her work blends clinical-informed somatic coaching with practical support, including her Grounded Method and the first tool she teaches: noticing. That grounded pause helps you slow down, get curious about what is happening underneath the urge, and start tracking patterns you can actually shift. We also move into the day-to-day reality of living with ADHD and managing overwhelm. Kirsten explains why stillness supports executive function, how “closing loops” makes tasks doable, and how the words you repeat to yourself shape what you believe is possible. If you want a grounded, compassionate take on eating disorder recovery, emotional eating, stress eating, body image, and practical regulation tools, you will get a lot out of this one.

    How to Plan Your Year With God: Seek, Surrender, Steward

    Send us Fan Mail Planning ahead can feel sensible, even wise, until you realise you might be writing the whole story and only asking God to sign off at the end. We’re talking about looking towards 2027 from a different starting point, not with a goals list or a vision board, but with three words that put faith back at the centre of your planning: seek, surrender and steward. It's important before you begin anything that you seek God's will for your year ahead. When money is stressful and the numbers don’t add up, trust stops being theoretical. It becomes daily, practical and sometimes uncomfortable. Along the way, we reflect on how God’s definition of breakthrough often reaches deeper than the bank account, shaping surrender, obedience, resilience and a steadier faith. Then we get practical. We share what surrender looks like in real family decisions, including the emotional weight of changing schools, stepping into unknowns and learning to move before every step is clear. From there, we shift into stewardship and organisation, walking through the five pillars of balance: time, money, self-care, home and work. You’ll hear how to prepare for what you already know is coming, simplify what’s adding pressure, and keep margin so God can redirect without you burning out. If you want a clear next step, grab a notebook and try the seek, surrender, steward exercise, then come back to it as the year unfolds.

    Finding Rest in the Chaos of Motherhood with Carrie Newport

    Send us Fan Mail Rest sounds simple until you’re a mum with a full house, a busy brain, and a heart carrying more than most people can see. Carrie joins me again to talk about what it looks like to keep showing up anyway, not with a polished “super mum” mask, but with honesty, faith, and the kind of small steps that actually work in real life. We yarn about her new book, Broken Becoming Beloved, and how her story of motherhood, grief, and healing becomes an invitation for other women to reflect and realise they’re not alone.  We also dig into practical rhythms that help when life feels chaotic: doing one thing at a time, using the moments when motivation is there, and letting rest be part of the plan rather than something you earn. Carrie shares how she’s building community, why she created a five-day restart built on five-minute reflections and affirmations, and how those tiny wins can shift the way you see your day. If you’re searching for time management for mums, ADHD-friendly productivity, boundaries, and organisation that doesn’t demand perfection, you’ll find plenty to take away.  Faith runs through the whole conversation, especially around simplifying scripture and leaning into trust when your emotions are loud. We talk about a 52-week Bible study focused on women in the Bible, the power of prayer in hard seasons, and the freedom that comes from remembering you’re still you, not just “Mum”.

    When Being Capable Leads to Burnout with Anneliese Reeves

    Send us Fan Mail Being the capable one can feel like a superpower, until you realise it has started running your life. We’re joined by Anneliese Reeves, a pastor, event manager, mum of five, and former chief operating officer, to talk about the hidden pressure many women carry when competence becomes identity and productivity turns into armour. Anneliese shares the story behind her forthcoming book Chaotic And Competent, shaped by years of raising kids, leading teams, and learning to laugh through the mess. Together we tease out a hard truth: what we call “being responsible” is sometimes control in a polished outfit. We explore how self-reliance can creep in, why your capacity doesn’t determine your calling, and what it looks like to surrender decisions, timelines, and outcomes to God without switching your brain off. We also get practical with faith-based organisation and time management that works in real life: priorities you can revisit, lists that serve you rather than shame you, saying no without guilt, and letting other people help without feeling like you’ve failed. Mel shares a discernment moment where the right questions revealed a job offer’s true cost, and we talk about choosing peace, family, and flexibility over quick fixes that lead to burnout.

    Why You Keep Falling Back Into the Same Habits and How to Break the Cycle

    Send us Fan Mail You know that maddening moment when you promise yourself “never again” and then somehow end up right back in the same habit? Running late, spending you didn’t plan, putting yourself last, clutter creeping back in, procrastinating on the one task that matters most. We’re not treating that like a willpower issue. We’re treating it like a root cause issue. We walk you through a mini coaching session you can do with a notebook in real time, using the Five Levels of Why (the Five Whys) to get to the thought beneath the thought. We take common struggles across time management, money habits, self-care, home organisation and work productivity, and show how the surface problem often points to something deeper: weak boundaries, guilt around rest, emotional regulation, control, fear of judgement, or even identity. When you can name what’s actually driving the behaviour, you stop chasing random tips that never stick. Then we go further with the Vexenova technique, our practical framework for change: recognise what’s on repeat, reveal what’s underneath, replace the belief that isn’t serving you, rewrite what you’ll do differently, and reinforce the new pattern until it becomes natural. We also unpack the thought-belief-action-habit-life cycle, and (for those who want it) connect the process to Romans 12:2 and the renewing of your mind, blending Christian mindset coaching with real-world steps like delegation, boundaries and supportive rhythms. If you’re ready to break cycles with support and accountability, we share how to connect with us and where to find deeper coaching inside the She’s Organised Hub.
