Do you ever create a business plan in January—only to abandon it by February?

If so, you’re in good company. (And no, it’s not a discipline problem.)

Welcome to Episode 2 of “The Season of Slow Business,” a five-part series exploring what it means to lead and grow from rhythm, rest, and feminine wisdom—instead of push and urgency.

In this episode, I share how one mentor’s radical advice completely transformed my approach to business (and life). And I’ll show you why understanding your natural rhythms is only half the equation for  stewarding your sacred business.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why spaciousness is a strategy, not a luxury—especially for sensitive women
• The signs your business is draining your energy (and how to shift that)
• Nature’s blueprint for sustainable business growth through the seasons
• How to discover your personal energy map—and why it matters more than any “expert” formula
• Why most business plans fail (and a more holistic approach that makes a plan actually work)
• How to design your year around your rhythms—not someone else’s 

If you’ve been trying to force yourself into more masculine business models—or you’re tired of creating plans that only one part of you wants to follow—this episode offers a saner, more soulful alternative.

Your business can honor your sensitivity. Your need for spaciousness. Your unique energy.

And yes—it can still be successful. Maybe even more so.
