A big reason why I became a solopreneur after 7+ y A big reason why I became a solopreneur after 7+ years in my career was this:

I dreaded going against my gut and values to do what I "had to".

I built my business around the desire to never feel like this again.

Now, this is one of the shifts I support my clients through:
moving from obligation to ownership of their time and energy.

Not just in theory, but in the day-to-day reality of how they work in their businesses.

Because the truth is:

๐—”๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜‚๐—ฟ, ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ป'๐˜ "๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ" ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜†๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด.

๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€.

The difference between these two? 
Huge - for your mental health, joy, and business success.

So, if working in your business feels more like an obligation than a source of freedom, this is your cue to ask:

โšก Whose rules am I following?
โšก And are they serving me?

Ready to work in a way that feels empowered and free again?

Send me a message and letโ€™s chat how we can get you there together.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Iโ€™m curious - what is one โ€œI have toโ€ you are ready to question this week?

#joyfulproductivity #peakproductivity #personalgrowthjourney #personalgrowthforwomen #personalgrowthjunkie #mindsetgoals #mindsetforsuccess #mindsetgrowth #mindsetmentor #mindsetreset  #productivityimprovement #domorewithless #productivityhabits #productivitytools #productivityhack #productivitytip #productivitycoaching #hustleculturedropout #sustainablesuccess #sustainablesuccesscoach #hustlecultureisdead
The question I started asking: โคท How do I want The question I started asking:

โคท How do I want to feel while I work today?

Not once I have hit the next goal.

Not after I have answered all emails.

๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜บ.

This tiny shift was transformative af.

I started choosing intention over busyiness.
Alignment over achievement.
Joy over checking boxes.

Productivity stared to feel like something I ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ซ๐˜ฐ๐˜บ, not something I had to push through.

So if this week you are craving:

โ†’ More joy
โ†’ More ease
โ†’ More spaciousness

Start with this:

โ†’ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐˜.

Draft a to-be list alongside your to-do list.

Then lead yourself fromย that energy. โค

๐Ÿ’ฌ I would love to hear from you:

What is one word you want to feel more of this week?

Tell me how you grew in April - but with a twist. Tell me how you grew in April - but with a twist.
You can't mention any business metrics. ๐Ÿ‘€ 

I'll go first:

โ†’ Nurtured my confidence as a solopreneur
โ†’ Learned about soil mixes and fertilisers
โ†’ Welcomed 4 new plant babies to the terrace
โ†’ Stretched my comfort zone in ways that felt big and brave
โ†’ Led myself with compassion through a few low moments
โ†’ Opened the running season and woke up some sleeping muscles
โ†’ Took another step toward admitting that the 30s are hitting me hard (think: kombucha, plant obsession, and feelingย genuinelyย excited about a trip to the hardware store ๐Ÿ˜ฌ)

In our goal-setting sessions, I always challenge my clients to think of the ways working on their business grows them as humans.

Because if your joy, fulfillment, and self-worth rely only on hitting a couple of metrics, you are building your life on fragile ground.

As solopreneurs, we are always growing our business.

But here is the magic:ย our businesses are also growingย us.

And that kind of growth?

It is personal. Powerful.
And definitely worth celebrating.

So tell me, apart from revenue and follower counts,
how did you actually grow in April? ๐ŸŒธ 

PS: If you are ready to grow not just your business, but also your mindset, energy, and joy this summer, myย Productivity Power Boostย mini coaching offer is open.

It is the perfect way to dip into 1:1 support and set yourself up for a season that feels as good as it looks. Message me to claim one of the limited spots. ๐Ÿ’Œ

The world didn't end when I left hustle culture be The world didn't end when I left hustle culture behind.
(even if it felt super uncomfy at first)

Instead, now I:

โ€ข Work deeper, not harder
โ€ข Exercise more often
โ€ข Finish work early on Friday
โ€ข Actually celebrate achieving my goals
โ€ข Can take a moment to taste my coffee
โ€ข Listen to my body more than to my ego
โ€ข Spend much more time cuddling my dog
โ€ข Work in a way that fits my goals and energy
โ€ข Untangled my self-worth from how many hours I work
โ€ข Started saying "yes" to myself and what matters to me
โ€ข Give zero f*cks about how my career looks like to Karen
โ€ข Waved goodbye to the anxiety and nausiating migraines I used to have
โ€ข Rejoice in my ambition knowing it doesn't come at the expense of my health

I wonโ€™t lie.

Breaking up with hustle culture feltย scaryย at first.

It was all I had known and I had no idea what to expect on the other side.

Well, it turned out that instead of the end of my drive and achievememnts,

it was theย beginning of a life rich in health, joy, and sustainable success.

โ†’ If you are ready to make that shift but donโ€™t know where to start,

โ†’ If you want to take the leap but are afraid to do it alone,

โ†’ If you value personalised support and are curious to explore Human Design,

Then you are definitely in the right place and

You should stay tuned for all the ways we can work together in May.

More info coming next week but... ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ‘‡

If you are an action-taker and can't wait to get started on your sanely successful era,

Comment APRIL or send me a message and Ill share a special end of April bonus with you. ๐ŸŒธ

Ever feel like you are back at square one in somet Ever feel like you are back at square one in something you are good at? ๐Ÿ‘‡

That was me. Twice in the last week. Humbling AF.

First, I went for my first run in months.
I felt awkward, slow, heavy. I had to walk.

๐˜๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.

Then, I opened Substack to write my first note.
Blinking cursor. Blank mind. And what's that weird feeling?

Ah, yes. Doubt mixed with not knowing.
It was like starting from scratch on social media all over again.

๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.

And then it hit me:

๐—œ๐—ณ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜, ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด.

โ†’ Mostly solo
โ†’ Requires pacing
โ†’ Lots of snacking involved
โ†’ Demands self-cheerleading
โ†’ Rest is absolutely neccessary

So I wrote about that on Substack and hit publish.

It wasnโ€™t perfect.
Honestly, I am not even sure what โ€œperfectโ€ is on Substack.
But I wasnโ€™t afraid to be a newbie.

Being a beginner used to make me anxious.
Now, it makes me excited because I trust myself and what I can build.

And this is a gift solopreneurship gave me.

If you needed a sign today, here it is:

โ†’ Starting something new requires bravery. Celebrate yourself for it.
โ†’ You can be wildly ambitious and still give yourself grace.
โ†’ Your past skills count. Repurpose and reuse them.
โ†’ Many people have succeeded at what you are starting. Find them. Learn from them. Work with them.

If this resonates, youโ€™ll love my new Substack newsletter:ย Un-hustle.

Un-hustle is here to support ambitious, soul-led solopreneurs who are building sustainable success without sacrificing their health, joy, or peace at the altar of hustle culture.

If you're curious to check it out, leave the word NEW  below and I'll share the link via a message.

Your support in this new beginning is so appreciated! โค

PS: What is one (weird) life analogy that justย clicksย with your business journey?

Are you done working hard with few results? I got Are you done working hard with few results? I got you! ๐Ÿ‘‡

When I started my coaching business, I worked. A lot.

8-hour days? Check.
Consistent action? Double check.
To-do lists? Oh, they felt never-ending.

I was doing so much...
But my business? It barely grew.

Because I was prioritising the wrong actions.

And it was frustrating af.

And I see it so often with solopreneurs:

You are hard-working.
You are dedicated, driven, and always on the move.
But deep down, you wonder: ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜บ ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ?

I know why. โคต

Creating impact in your business isn't about how much time you put in.

It is about where your energy goes and whether you are taking the right aligned actions.

Cue the ๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜น.

This is a simple but powerful tool to help you cut through the chaos and focus on the things that actually move your business forward with the right energy.

And this month, for the first time ever, Iโ€™m teaching it LIVE.

Come join me:

๐Ÿ“… Prioritise with Purpose: Create Maximum Impact In Your Business with Minimum Overwhelm
โฐ April 29th (Tuesday); 12 PM; Zoom

We will work together in real time to:

โœ” Get clear on your business goals
โœ” Shorten your to-do list
โœ” Prioritise your tasks based on the impact they create and the energy they require.

๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ ๐—ฎ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ธ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—น๐˜† ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป.

This isnโ€™t another passive workshop where you take notes and forget them by Tuesday.

This is real-time transformation.

There will be no recording of this session.
Because some breakthroughs only happen when you are fully in the room.

You deserve a business that gives you back everything you put in it.

The question is: will you invest 1 hour to make it happen? 

DM me the word PURPOSE and I'll send you the sign up details.

Big goals. Big results. No hustle.

The Goal Glow-Up is a highly-persosnalised goal-setting coaching experience for ambitious solopreneurs who crave structure and flow.

Big dreams and bold ambitions got you here.

You aim high. You want a thriving business, a fulfilling life, and goals that move you forward personally and professionally.

But somewhere along the way, goal-setting started feelingโ€ฆ off.

Like something you should do rather than something that truly guides and fuels you.

When your goals donโ€™t fit you, the cost is higher than you think.

ห—หห‹โšก๏ธŽหŽหŠห— You set big goalsโ€ฆ but stuggle to start taking action.

You overthink every step, unsure if you are even focusing on the right things. So you tweak your website. Scroll for โ€˜inspiration.โ€™ Anything but actually moving forward.

ห—หห‹โšก๏ธŽหŽหŠห— Progress feels like a constant uphill battle.

You start strong, lose steam, and then avoid your goals altogether. Soon, you are behind and have to hustle to catch up. Instead of feeling accomplished, you feel drained.

ห—หห‹โšก๏ธŽหŽหŠห— Your confidence takes a hit.

The goals that once excited you now feel like reminders of everything you are not doing right.

ห—หห‹โšก๏ธŽหŽหŠห— Procrastination sneaks in.

Now you are avoiding the work. And the more you delay, the more guilt and frustration pile up.

ห—หห‹โšก๏ธŽหŽหŠห— You lose trust in yourself and give up.

You start second-guessing yourself and your abilities. With every stalled goal, it gets harder to believe you can actually do this. Eventually, you talk yourself out of trying and give up.

But hereโ€™s the truth:

The problem is not you. It is the way you are setting your goals.

More effort isnโ€™t the answer here. A different approach is.

You need a plan that works with you, not against you.

I created the Goal Glow-Up sessions so you can experience the power of aligned goal-setting.

Aligned goal-setting is here to bring you back the joy of growth.

Imagine...

โ˜… You finally have the clarity you have been craving.

No more throwing spaghetti at the wall. Now, your goals align with your values, vision, and the way you actually want to live and work. Every decision is purposeful and intentional.

โ˜… You lead yourself with confidence.

With goal that are tailo-made to match your strengths and skills, you move with convinction. You trust yourself, no second-guessing.

โ˜… You feel energised and accomplished.

Your goals challenge you without overwhelming you. You create momentum. You see real progress without sactificing your health and sanity.

โ˜… You actually enjoy the process.

There is nothing better than seeing tangible wins stacking up. Instead of dreading the work, you feel excited to take action.

โ˜… You rinse & repeat with even bigger goals.

Once you see what is possible, there is no going back. You celebrate, refine, and keep hitting goals that inspire and stretch you.

This is how a Goal Glow-Up Session works:

During this 2-hour session, we work together to set or refine one of your biggest goals. You learn how to apply the 3Aโ€™s framework making sure your goals are Aligned, Ambitious, and Achievable, so you can replicate it for all of your goals - personal & professional.

Here is how it works:

Pre-session workbook: Gain clarity on your values, mission, and ideal lifestyle

Before we meet, you complete a pre-session workbook with exercises that help you reflect on these three areas. We use your insights during the session to ensure we create goals that truly serve you.

Step 1: ALIGNED: Ensuring your goals matter

We explore how your goal connects to your values, mission, and the way you want to work and live.

Step 2: AMBITIOUS: Breaking it down, keep it bold

We map the expectations around the goal results and timeline, You dive deeper into how you want progress to look and feel. We explore how feasable your ambitious goal is. You also learn how to tell if a goal is actually worth pursuing.

Step 3: ACHIEVABLE: Planning for success

We take your ambitious goal and break them into clear, motivating milestones so they stay bold, but no longer feel overwhelming. We make sure each milestone is achievable by anticipating the key details that could make or break execution like resources, potential roadblocks, and strategies to stay on track.

Post-session workbook: Making progress feel good

You have fun designing accountability and reward systems that keeps you engaged and motivatedโ€”so instead of waiting until the finish line to feel successful, you get to celebrating meaningful progress along the way.

Level up your goals now

Here is what's included in the package:

โ˜… A 2-hour highly personalised goal-setting coaching session

Map out or refine one ambitious goal you have with my support. Learn the 3A's framework.

โ˜… 5 business days of chat support after the session

This session is for you if...

This session is created for ambitious solopreneurs who want to regain control over their time and results in a sustainable, hustle-free way.

You will also enjoy this session if you are ready to:

โ†’ Set ambitious personal goals: ready to run that marathon or write that book? You are in the right place!

โ†’ Set goals for a passion project: starting a YouTube channel or wanting to level up your side-hustle? Let's work together!


This session is NOT for you if you want someone to write your goals for you or give you the exact steps to achieve your goals. Think of this session as a set of extremely useful and flexible guidelines, rather than a rigid manual.

If you have build castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." - Henry David Thoreau

I am ready to be in your corner. Are you ready to get to work?
