If you’ve ever opened your inbox, looked at your client pipeline, scrolled through your content engagement, and thought, “Wait… is my business dying?” — take a deep breath. I’ve been there, more than once. 

In this episode, I explain the exact difference between a slow season (normal, predictable, totally survivable) and a dead season (emotionally brutal, but fixable).

Inspired by the literal seasonal shift outside my window — fall turning to winter overnight — I talk about how business has seasons too. Some seasons are meant for rest and recalibration, while others are waking you up to the fact that something deeper is broken.

Using real examples from my own 5-month dead season (yes, five), I walk you through the five core signals that tell you exactly what you're experiencing so you don’t spiral into panic or denial.

You’ll learn:

• What slow seasons actually look like (and why they’re not a problem)
• Ways to support yourself and stay grounded during a slow season 😌
• Why slow periods often reveal issues that were already brewing under the surface
• What truly defines a dead season — energetically, strategically, and financially
• What to do when you’re in a dead season so you don’t burn your business down in panic
• How to turn a dead season into a catalyst for your next, more aligned chapter

Whether you're in a cozy, reflective phase or a “WTF is happening?!” era, this episode will help you see your business more clearly and respond with strategy instead of fear.
