What if you could work with your natural creative cycles to help your life & work feel easier? I've noticed sometimes I'm hugely creative, and other times I'm more suited for admin work or doing something less creatively intense. What if instead of beating yourself up over not being "creative enough" and forcing yourself to produce, you could work with these natural cycles?

Have you ever felt like you've outgrown your business? That it just doesn't light you up or excite you the way it used to? As an entrepreneur who was likely really excited and motivated about your business for a long time - this can be concerning! What happens if you never want to work again? What if you can't find the motivation to consistently work on or grow your business? Is it just going to start feeling like a JOB?

Then we'll discuss multiple strategies to move forward (it doesn't mean you have to shut down your business!) including how to pivot your business to broaden its topic or shift the topic alltogether.

When you hear the idea of slowing down, do you feel like "I wish I could do that" or "that's a nice idea but really not for me"? Today we're talking about slowing down - living and working at a slower pace. I personally discovered that by slowing down my own work gained more depth and richness, in spite of the fact that the "old me" from 10-20 years ago would never even think about pacing down as something positive and productive. I want to talk today about high achievers as I consider myself of being one and is it really possible for us to slow down.

We know that routines and habits are really effective - but they sound really dry and practical. They work, but they're certainly not inspiring. What if we reframe some of our daily actions as rituals? A ritual is an action we do repeatedly - but it's infused with meaning (and a bit of magic!) In this episode we'll look at some of the ways you might choose to switch some of your routines to rituals, and how that could bring more mindfulness, meaning and presence to your everyday.

Connecting with the natural seasonal cycle where you live is the fundamental practice in my work. In this episode, you'll learn about the Wheel of the Year and begin noticing how the season shows up in your place. We'll explore how living in tune with the natural cycles is something already part of you as a human - it's not so much learning as remembering. Connect to this ancient way of knowing and noticing, something that our ancestors would have done as a regular part of life but we've just forgotten. Use this simple practice to become more mindful, present and connected with nature.
