What if the pace you’re keeping in your business is actually costing you your clarity, creativity, and well-being?
After two years of publishing weekly content, I arrived in France this autumn and felt a deep truth drop in—what once felt aligned had turned into pressure. My body, my spirit, and my nervous system were asking me to slow down.
This episode marks the beginning of The Season of Slow Business, a five-part series exploring what it means to lead, create, and grow from rhythm, rest, and feminine wisdom—instead of urgency and over-functioning.
In this opening episode, I share a story I’ve never told publicly—about the return of my menstrual cycle in my early 20s while living in Thailand—and how that experience is speaking to me again now, as I turn 48, navigate perimenopause, and begin a new chapter in France.
Together, we’ll explore:
- What the Slow Business Movement really is (and what it’s not)
- How autumn invites us to release what’s no longer sustainable in our businesses
- Why slowing down might be the most radical and strategic move you can make right now
- How to begin creating a business that honors your body, your nervous system, and your season of life
If you’re moving through a transition, craving more space, or simply tired of pushing through, this episode will meet you where you are—and offer you a new path forward.
Because your business doesn’t need more pressure. It needs more presence. And so do you.
⭐ And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to one of my most popular programs, “The IFS Kickstarter Kit.” This will teach you the foundational concepts of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model—a proven framework that has helped me and countless others navigate challenges, build inner clarity, and create thriving, soul-aligned businesses.
