Subject: Ditch the 5-year plan—try this instead 👀
Grow your business at the speed of life.
For years, I struggled to balance my personality with my business strategy. I felt like I had to pretend to be different to reap the benefits of the business strategies that were available to me.
I had to pretend that…
→ My brain and creative process worked in a linear fashion
My thoughts move in spirals and don’t adapt well to a step-by-step process. Linear thinking stifles my creativity and my motivation. Nothing shuts me down faster than a mile-long to-do list.
→ I believed it was possible to plan your life years in advance
I don’t believe in five-year plans. The best things happen when we let go of our grip on the future and invite life to surprise us with possibilities beyond our imagination.
→ My spirituality wasn’t influencing my business decisions
The looks I’d get when I said things like, “That sounds logical, but it doesn’t *feel* like the right next step for me.” People judged my desire to trust my deeper intuition instead of buying into the hot new strategy they were using to grow their businesses.
→ I could grow my business at the same pace as everyone else—regardless of my energy levels or life circumstances
This is the biggest myth of all! I didn’t want my business plan to be separate from my real life. I wanted what was happening in my life to inform how much time and energy I had to give to my business!
All of that pretending inspired me to create a better way.
This “better way” weaves together…
✨Strategy and Intuition
✨Pragmatism and Flow
✨Structure and Spirituality
My business thrives when I blend the masculine “doing” energy with the feminine “being” energy.
I thrive when I weave the mystical into the mundane.
After years of experimentation, I’ve developed a planning strategy that is sustainable and intuitive while providing the structure I need to accomplish my goals.
And now, I’m ready to share it with you…
DEEPLY RESTED PRESENTS
Spring Business Planning Workshop
The Spring Business Planning Workshop is a live experience that will help you create a realistic 3-month action plan that honors your life and business.
You’ll learn how to harness the energy of the spring season to set intentions, create momentum, and cultivate growth in a way that feels natural and sustainable.
But most importantly, you’ll learn how to leave behind rigid, productivity-obsessed planning methods that make you feel like you’re pretending to be someone you’re not.
Bring your woo, your neurodivergence, and your desire to grow a business that supports the creation of your ideal life.
All of you is welcome here.
Here’s what you’ll learn during the workshop:
→ How to plan in alignment with the seasons—so your business feels more natural, easeful, and sustainable.
→ A cyclical approach to goal-setting that honors your creativity and intuition instead of forcing rigid deadlines.
→ Practical tools and rituals to integrate seasonal wisdom into your life and business planning process.
→ How to work with your energy, not against it, so you can create with more ease and clarity.
You’ll walk away with a personalized three-month action plan that integrates your intentions for your life and business.
Plus, you’ll feel calmer, clearer, and deeply connected to a like-minded entrepreneurial community.
