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.

This is your Permission to Thrive!

Hey Lovely Human,

I am so excited to have you in 9 to Thrive!

But why wait to take action towards your hustle-free life until the program starts? I know that you are an action-taker and you can't wait to get started!

This is where the Permission to Thrive toolkit comes in! I created this collection of resources specifically to help you get started on your 9 to Thrive journey. The best thing is that these resources will enrich your growth before we even start working together and can continue surving you far into the future!

Explore how to use each resource and have fun!

Resource #1: From Hustle to Harmony Workbook

If you use only one of the resources in this toolkit, let it be this workbook!

Completing From Hustle to Harmony is an amazing first step towards gaining clarity about where you are and what kind of life you want to create moving forward.

The 10 questions in the workbook will help you reflect on your relationship with work and the hustle culture. You will gain clarity explore the habits, beliefs, and fears that keep you stuck in hustle mode, envision your most thriving life, and explore the gap between these realities.

Once the course starts, you'll be a step ahead knowing exactly what you need to let go of and focus on to make your most thriving life a reality!

Download your copy below, get a cup pf coffee, and dive into transforming hustle to harmony. โœจ

Resource #2: The 9 to Thrive Affirmation Cards + Audio

Did you know that 95% of our daily thoughts are repetitive, and 80% of those are negative? It's hard to believe that our own mind can keep us stuck in a loop that doesn't serve us, isn't it? This includes limiting beliefs about your way of work and life.

This is why practicing affirmations is such a powerful tool for breaking free from the hustle culture. As little as 5 minutes a day of repeating the 9 to Thrive affirmations can begin rewiring your beliefs around wellbeing, self-care, and your ability to design work and a life you truly thrive in.

You can practice by downloading and printing the 18 affirmation cards below or by downloading the audio version. Incorporate this practice in your morning routine, communite, or even while waiting in line at the store.

Start today and by the time we meet for our first coaching in the 9 to Thrive coaching program you'll know what comes easier into your life and where you feel more resistence (a.k.a the areas we should focus more on)

Resource #3: The Mindful Day Planner

This Mindful Day planner is designed to help you create a more balanced, sustainable, and joyful approach to productivity. Start each day by setting a meaningful intentionโ€”this helps guide your focus and actions. Use the Highest Priority For The Day section to identify THE one thing that will make the biggest impact, so you can channel your energy effectively.

The To-Do column is for the tasks that need to get done, while the To-Be column reminds you to stay aligned with how you want to feel.

Celebrate your Win of the Day to acknowledge progress, no matter how small, and end your day with a moment of gratitude.

In the 9 to Thrive program we will talk a lot about blending productivity with joy and mindfulness. This planner will help start experimenting with that to create lasting success without burnout from this day on!

Here to start a revolution. Here's why:

9 to Thrive is here to create a productivity revolution and support hundreds of women in breaking free from the hustle culture. I know how the story goes - I hustled in my 20ies, built a career I was proud of and passionate about, but the grind caught up me. I was heading straight to burnout. One night, I found myself laying wide awake in the dark with an anxiety attack thinking very hard if the hustle was worth sacrificing my health and joy for. I got up the following morning resolved to break free. I made huge changes in the following months that led me to vibrant health, joyful productivity, and sustainable success. Now, it is an honour and a priviledge to guide you on the same journey. I'll see you inside of 9 to Thrive!
