In this episode, I'm coming to you from sunny Clearwater, Florida a few days ahead of The Birthworker Retreat. I share the behind-the-scenes of how I intentionally designed this event (and my life!) to match my personal needs and seasonal rhythms. From walks on the beach and hotel massages to the mindset shifts that took me from burnt-out martyr to thriving doula business owner, I walk you through how this lifestyle didn't happen by accident. It happened by methodical design.

I'm breaking down how you, too, can start aligning your business with the life you truly want, starting with small, sacred decisions.

What You'll Learn:

• Why I intentionally arrive early to events I host (and how it changes everything)

• How I turned my desire for winter sunshine into a business opportunity

• The key mindset shift that helped me move from martyrdom to empowerment

• Tiny ways to care for yourself as a business owner and mom

• How every "yes" is also a "no" - and how to choose wisely

• Encouragement to stop resenting others and start building what you want
