Prep for less. Not more.


Every May, I fall for the same trap:
“This summer, I’ll finally catch up.”

I’ll batch twelve blog posts.
Outline a new offer.
Fix that opt-in I’ve been ignoring since… February?

And every August, I look back wondering why I didn’t just give myself a break.

This year, I’m prepping for something different: breathing room.
Fewer deadlines. More flexible structure. A to-do list that fits on a Post-it.

Because summer doesn’t have to be your productivity season.
It can be your pause and recalibrate season.

“You can do anything—but not everything.”
David Allen

So what if your summer setup wasn’t about doing more?
What if it was about doing less, but better aligned?

What’s one thing you could not do this summer—and still feel good about your business?
Write it down. Let it go.

Flatlay of a laptop, planner, pen, and glasses on a sunlit desk—perfect workspace for introverted entrepreneurs focused on aligned business growth.

Support for introverted coaches stuck in the messy middle. This time last year, I had to have a serious conversation with myself. I’d just made the decision to stop offering 1:1 client work—big move, felt right, still scary. But even after that choice, I found myself slipping into the same old pattern: Prioritizing everyone else’s business over my own. If it were a client doing that? I’d call them out—kindly but directly. I’d remind them their business deserves attention too. That their...

Cozy desk with coffee and notebook—ideal for introverts refining their business, not starting over. For Refine Don't Redo Week in Coach's Corner

All month, I’ve been writing about reviewing what’s working in your business, refining your offers, and making small shifts that bring things back into alignment. And then last week? I almost deleted everything. Not metaphorically. Like… hovering-over-the-trash-icon, everything must go kind of energy. Nothing dramatic had happened. I just hit that familiar wall where everything felt off. Clothes didn’t fit right. My writing felt flat. The mirror was rude. Even my morning coffee annoyed me....

Woman sitting on bed with laptop and coffee, reviewing business offers in a calm workspace; flowers and planner suggest aligned, intentional strategy.

Support for introverted coaches stuck in the messy middle. Earlier in the month, we talked about what to clear out—those half-loved offers gathering digital dust. (If you missed it, catch the blog here.) This week, we’re shifting the focus:Once the clutter’s gone, what’s left that actually matters? Not what’s trending. Not what gets the most clicks.But what still feels aligned with you—the person you are now, not the one who built it two years ago during a caffeine-fueled brainstorm. This is...
