You deserve to

love your life

Listen to this,🎙️✨

I just got back from Los Angeles surrounded by an amazing community gathering of women around She Builds at Meri Cherry’s Art Studio. La’Kita Williams moderated our panel which included Meri Cherry, Monica J. Sutton, and myself.

This event was so much fun, and I plan to do more of these in different cities around the world.

Anti-hustle is the antidote to burnout.

Something I’m committed to doing this year is modeling what it looks like to build and grow in an anti-hustle way.

When burnout is not an option, we prioritize a work rhythm that honors rest and our capacity to show up and serve.

If we overcommit and overextend ourselves, we become resentful towards our businesses and want to walk away from everything we’ve built. No one wins in this scenario.

So we have to build differently.

In order to grow our businesses and nourish our lives, we must give ourselves permission to honor our own pace.

And I’ve done just that with how I’m marketing and sharing about my book.

I did a big push when She Builds came out in November recording 25+ podcasts in the month of September and October (I’ll highlight a few episodes below). I also did two in-person events with 100+ people in a two-week period (with Grace Kraaijvanger of The Hivery + Heather Anderson from The Club). I broke all of my calendar rules (intentionally) and said yes to more things than I had energy for. Because I knew it was just for a season.

Once the new year came around, it was time to slow down my pace, catch my breath, and reassess what parts of my marketing plan were sustainable and enjoyable.

I had to throttle my ambition.

I plan to keep recording interviews and speaking, but instead of 25+ in two months, I plan to show up 4-5 times per month with a gentle mix of podcasts, in-person and online events. Below I’m highlighting a couple of episodes and sharing a playlist that has all the interviews to date. We’ll keep adding to the playlist as new interviews are added in 2023.

As you move through the beginning of this year, listen to a few episodes to get some inspiration for 2023.
