This episode is a deep breath.
A loosening.
A letting go of the pressure to do more, be more, offer more, prove more.

If you haven’t listened to episode 167 yet (The Difference Between a Business That Looks Good and One That Feels Good), I’d press pause and start there. That one sets the tone. This one brings it home.

We’re talking about simplifying, not as a step back, but as a bloody bold move toward more clarity, depth, and spaciousness. Because the truth is, doing more isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, it’s the very thing that’s pulling you away from what matters most.

Inside this episode:

Why simplifying your business might be the most loving thing you can do (for yourself and your clients)

The myth of “more”, and how it’s keeping so many brilliant women on the brink of burnout

Five areas to get honest about: your offers, your content, your marketing, your tools, and your time

The sacredness of space, and what gets to grow when you stop trying to keep up

This isn’t about shrinking.
It’s about rewilding.
So you can build a business that actually feels like yours.

I’m also sharing three journal prompts to help you reflect on what’s feeling cluttered, where you’re overextending, and what could open up if things were simpler.

✨ Next week: A big announcement you do not want to miss. Bring snacks.

This week’s episode is a heart-to-heart. It’s a moment to zoom out, breathe deeply, and ask the question so many of us avoid: Am I building the right business, in the right way?

This episode is a reflection on what it means to me to build a business that feels deeply true, not just performatively successful.

I share the thoughts and questions that have been circling my mind as I prepare to step into a more aligned, EVEN more authentic chapter. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your ‘why,’ if your business has started to feel like a performance, or if you’re craving a slower, more soul-led (whatever that means for you) way of working, this one’s for you.

Inside this episode:

Why I'm rethinking the idea of “playing bigger” and what I'm replacing it with

How we can unconsciously drift from our original intentions

The difference between a business that looks good and one that feels good

Four powerful journal prompts to realign your vision and reconnect with your truth

Reimagine success on your own terms, and remember: you don’t need to burn it all down to begin again. You’re allowed to build slower. Softer. Truer.

Next week, we'll explore the how - how to simplify your business so it aligns with who you are now. Don’t miss it.

You didn’t start your business to feel like you’re running on fumes. And yet, too many brilliant women find themselves dreading client calls they used to love, constantly doubting themselves, and fantasizing about quitting - not because they don’t care, but because they’ve built a business that’s breaking them.
