We’re baaaack with another episode of Real-Time Reflections 🔥

These are honest, in-the-moment solo episodes where I pull back the curtain on what’s actually happening in my life and business — the decisions I’m making, the identity shifts I’m moving through, and what it really looks like to build a business that supports my life in real time.

And this past couple of weeks? Felt like a big shift into actually living that.

Less “doing things because I should”… and more intentionally choosing what matters, what feels good, and what actually supports the kind of life and business I want to build.

In this episode, I chat about:

What it actually looked like to make decisions in my business last week (including skipping a podcast episode 👀)
Having a friend in town, giving myself grace, and letting that be OKAY
My focus for this year: not doing things just because I “should” or “have to”
Creating a business that feels spacious instead of one that requires doing the mostttt to make money
What I chose to prioritize last week instead of forcing productivity
RELEASING MY RETREAT!!! all the details, the vision, and why I’m so damn excited about it 🏔️🥂✨
Why I want you to go check out the sales page even if you’re not planning to come

Why both you and your business need to be supported for real growth to happen - and how we’re doing that at the retreat
Who will be there, what to expect, and the intention behind the experience
Early bird pricing (open until 5/20 👀) and why I created this retreat to be more accessible
The spacious schedule for the retreat and why that was non-negotiable for me
How long I’ve wanted to lead a retreat - and why in-person connection lights me up so much

Taking Fridays off this summer and redefining what my schedule gets to look like
Letting go of the pressure to follow a “normal” Monday-Friday work week
The trap of working a little bit every day - and why a full day OFF actually matters
Adding a weekly money check-in to your calendar (trust me on this one)
Why this month has felt light and grounded, even with a lot going on astrologically
