Last fall, I took a step back from creating content, not because I was quitting, but because I needed clarity. Marketing was starting to feel loud, overwhelming, and disconnected from why I built my business in the first place. So instead of pushing through, I got quiet and asked a different question: What actually matters... for me, my business, and the people I serve? In this episode, I’m sharing five unconventional decisions I’m making in 2026 that are shaping a slower, simpler, more human way of doing business, including: Why I’m intentionally doing less - and caring less - about the things that drain my energy Choosing real connection over becoming a content machine Using my website, social media, and podcast for credibility, not pressure Why I’m skipping traditional goal-setting and focusing on monthly priorities instead How simplicity can be more powerful (and freeing) than complex systems This isn’t about trends or formulas. It’s about building a business that actually supports your life, and gives you room to adapt, breathe, and grow in a way that feels aligned. If you’ve been feeling worn down by “more, more, more” marketing advice, I hope this episode gives you permission to choose a different path. If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to stay connected.
