How do we actually tend to our wellbeing & burn-out when we’re self-employed? And what happens to our businesses when we step back to heal?

Today I’m joined by a writer, podcaster, self-employed creator & community gatherer that I’ve long admired — Nic Antoinette.

This year Nic has gone through a period of shutting down almost all of the longest-running parts of her business in order to tend to her mental health and well-being.

In the process, she’s been in a period of deep inquiry about what it means to run a tiny business, when to let our beloved creations end, and how to feel like we have enough in our work and our lives.

She also left Instagram! Tune in to our conversation for—

• A permission slip to step back from your business
• Ways to navigate periods of contraction in your work
• Why & how Nic left Instagram
• “How much money is enough?”
• Support making hard decisions
