In a world that is constantly telling us to grow faster, scale bigger, and innovate relentlessly, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters to us. The truth is, the key to sustaining your success lies in slowing down, honoring your inner wisdom, and allowing space for reflection and creative expression.In this episode, I'm opening up about my journey as a holistic business strategist and speaker, and why I'm a big advocate for the "slow biz" approach to entrepreneurship. I'll share the story of closing my successful 50-member Biz Club because deep down, I knew it had run its course. We'll discuss the importance of sustainability, integrity, and honoring one's truth in business, even when it means making tough decisions. We'll also explore the tension between society's obsession with growth and innovation and the need for fallow periods, self-reflection, and creative expression. Plus, we'll talk societal expectations around female obedience and the importance of embracing change and authenticity in both business and personal life. In This Episode, We Talk About:The importance of sustainability, integrity, and honoring one's truth in business (0:00)Embracing fallow periods, self-reflection, and creative expression (7:40)Societal expectations around female obedience and their impact on entrepreneurship (12:36)Embracing change and being true to oneself in business and life (19:05) ⁠Join the Elevated Mastermind Circle! 🤸🏽‍♀️⁠If you're a creative or intuitive biz owner ready to step into the most elevated version of your abundance — we need you in the Elevated Mastermind Circle.
