Deeply Rested: Anti-Capitalist Conversations for Entrepreneurs Discover Your Natural Energy Cycles with Kate Vanden Bos
Are you caught in the loop of constant growth and rigid planning? What if you could organize your life and business in a way that honors your natural rhythms instead?
In this episode, I sit down with Kate Vanden Bos, creator of the Growth Cycle—a revolutionary framework for personal evolution rooted in rhythm, not hustle. We explore how to align your life and work with your own energy cycles, using Kate’s 12-phase growth model as a map for intentional living.
Kate shares how her years of study in somatic healing, nature-based coaching, and her own burnout led to the creation of this grounded and magical system. We talk about ditching the five-year plan, redefining productivity, and letting the wisdom of nature shape your timeline.
