Ever feel like your business, and life, are tangled up in endless “shoulds” you can’t possibly keep up with? What if the real success comes from breaking those rules, setting boundaries, and choosing what truly fits your season of life? This episode, I'm getting real about stepping back after a tough stretch of extreme caregiving, letting go of business guilt, and emerging with a new idea I'm excited about: the "Gentle Business Rebellion". I'm talking about how prioritizing family, health, and rest can lead you to a more impactful (and sustainable) business, and why that rebellious act might be exactly what you need. If you’ve ever wished for permission to do business differently, and gently, this one’s for you. 1:05 – Why “shoulds” sabotage your business (and sanity) 4:51 – What is a Gentle Business Rebellion, really? 8:00 – Why putting family first is sometimes the bravest business move 10:39 – How to create boundaries and still serve clients well 12:28 – Signs you’re ready for a business pivot (and how to gently make one)Another episode you might enjoy: Why You Feel Stuck in Your Business (& Why It’s Not Your Fault) Blog post and transcript can be found here: Episode 93…
