Happy Yule, friends 🌙✨ Whether you celebrate Yule, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the Solstice, or nothing at all—I hope you’re giving yourself permission to pause. A reminder from your resident business-brain: rest isn’t a reward you earn after you “do enough.” It’s part of the plan. Taking time off (even a little) helps you: - come back clearer - make better decisions - stop running your business on fumes - actually enjoy the season you’re working so hard for If your nervous system has been running the show lately, consider this your sign to log off, cozy up, and reset—so you can step into the new year with more energy and way less overwhelm. I will still be checking in and dropping a few just for fun posts but Both my communities have very exciting things coming next year, so stay tuned and let’s start your 2026 with a bang 💥 Wishing you warmth, peace, and the kind of rest that actually works. 🕯️❄️

As we relax into the weekend it’s the perfect time for reflection on the week that has passed. What’s one success that you’ve had this week? Big or small, business or personal, all wins count!

If you are more established than that read on: I also run another free community on Skool A women-only recovery + self-development community for burnt-out founders 🐾🖤 The Reset Circle The 4 pillars of Reset Circle 1) Burnout recovery & capacity rebuilding - energy budgeting, rest guilt, nervous system regulation - “minimum viable life” seasons - routines that don’t become another job 2) Emotional load & self-abandonment patterns - people-pleasing, over-responsibility, perfectionism - decision fatigue, mental clutter, resentment - boundaries without guilt 3) Deprogramming the £10k cult - detoxing comparison, urgency, “always be scaling” - untangling worth from income - redefining success as safety + enough + choice 4) Identity & self-trust - confidence after “failure” - values-led living - rebuilding inner authority (stop outsourcing your choices to internet gurus)
