What if the key to your next big breakthrough in business isn’t in hustling harder, but in actually slowing down? If you’ve been caught in the cycle of go-go-go, pushing toward the next goal while ignoring how exhausted you feel, then this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast is one you need to hear. I’m joined by Sarah Watson, leadership consultant and self-proclaimed "Creator of Calm" at The Restoration Project, to talk about the power of pause in business and why slowing down might be your best productivity hack yet.

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Sarah shares why redefining success is essential for long-term sustainability and how her own shift from constant striving to intentional planning has made her work and life more fulfilling. We talk about toxic productivity, separating your self-worth from your work, and how to create a business that honors both your ambition and your humanity. And for those of you leading a team or considering your first hire, Sarah gives tangible advice on what it really looks like to lead well (hint: it doesn’t mean having all the answers).

Whether you’re scaling your team or managing it all solo, you’ll walk away from this conversation with a renewed perspective on what success looks like in different seasons — and why letting go of "busy" is often the most powerful move you can make. If you’re ready to stop chasing "more" and start building something that lasts, hit play on this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast.
