We’ve all heard the phrase work smarter, not harder — but what does that actually look like in real life?
In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing why I’ve chosen to simplify my business — and how that decision is helping me create more space for what matters most. From streamlining my offers and systems, to refining how I spend my time and where I show up, this new season is all about clarity, focus, and alignment.
You’ll hear the real changes I’ve made — including why I’m pressing pause on the podcast (for now) — and how I’m creating deeper impact inside Design & Grow and my 1:1 mentorships, while also spending more time connecting through my free weekly newsletter on Substack.
If you’ve been feeling stretched, scattered, or out of sync with your business, this episode will give you both permission and practical ideas to simplify in a way that supports your life — not competes with it.
