Listen Later

If you’ve ever said, “I wish I had more time to work ON my business, not just IN it…” this episode is your permission slip.

Back in 2016, I hit a wall in my business, and what came next turned into one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made: I took the whole month of December off to create systems, rest, and reconnect with my why.

Nearly a decade later, Batch December has become my most powerful annual ritual—and in this episode, I’m sharing exactly how you can create space like this too (whether it's a month, a week, or just one day at a time).

If you've been craving more clarity, better systems, and guilt-free time to think, plan, and dream bigger, this episode gives you the blueprint to make it happen—on your terms.

🎯 YOU'LL DISCOVER

  • The 5-step BATCH method I use to take a month off every year (without losing momentum or money)
  • How to protect your calendar while still serving clients well
  • Real examples from my business model that honor boundaries and boost revenu
