Your Simple & Spacious Business

One of my big goals for this year was to redefine what launching my group program gets to look and feel like in my business. After four years of doing three enrolments a year and putting a whole lot of energy into the warm up and launch window I knew that my body couldn’t sustain that anymore. And not just that, I also just felt really done with that type of approach to launching. I wanted it to f...

Rarely a week goes by where I’m not talking about pricing with my clients and YS&SB members. It’s both a really practical and emotional topic in our business. Practically our pricing is just what we charge for the work we do and how we design our offerings in a way that makes it sustainable and profitable for us to deliver them. But emotionally it can trigger a whole lot of feelings and fears. Fea...

If you ever feel like there are markers of success and growth that you have to hit to feel good enough in your business, today’s episode is for you. Because it’s okay to have a slower season in your business to honour the needs of your life. It’s okay to adjust your workload to make space for other priorities. And it’s okay to gently dial things back up again too whenever that may honour your desi...

One meaningful piece of content a week. That’s the foundation of my gentle marketing plan for this year. To carve out the energy, space, and time each week to sit down and create something that just feels like a meaningful dispatch from one human being to another. So much noise online right now is telling us that we need to be churning out content for business growth. That we need to please algori...

It has now been four years since I first opened the doors to my group program Your Simple & Spacious Business in April 2022. Four years since I built a whole new foundational piece of my business model and redefined what my work gets to look like and brought a whole lot more spaciousness and flexibility into my business too. And for today’s episode I want to share with you the biggest lessons I’ve...

Whenever I come across business advice that I’m deciding whether or not if it’s relevant and supportive for me and my work I ask myself two questions: Do I have their day? And do I want their day? Because the real question isn’t: will this strategy or approach work? But instead, will it actually work for me? Over and over again I come back to the reminder that our day is the whole damn point. Beca...

My business hasn’t always been this simple & spacious. I used to be overbooked, undercharging, and deeply burned out in my work each week. It’s taken a whole lot of intention, patience, and experimentation to design my business to work best for me and I’m so damn grateful to have built a working life for myself that feels aligned with my capacity and the daily life that I want to be living. There...

Something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently is how much de-centering my business has been one of the most supportive decisions I’ve ever made in my working life. Don’t get me wrong, I am so damn grateful for my business and so devoted to doing my best work for the wonderful humans I get to walk with each week. But I’m also not obsessed with my work, or endless growth, or defining my self-wor...

I received an emailed recently from someone asking if I outsourced any tasks to a virtual assistant in my business as they just couldn’t believe that I was able to sustain my business in just 8-10 hours a week. And their question makes sense. My workweek isn’t the norm. But as I shared with them, apart from my husband editing my podcast episodes each week there is nothing else that I outsource in...

For my first podcast episode of the year back in January I shared all about planning for 2026 when we don’t know what our capacity will be . I entered this new year with so much clarity around my creative desires, for the mini book of essays that I want to write and self-publish, for the first draft of my novel that I want to chip away at this year, and the app my husband and I are working on toge...

Four years ago when I first built and launched my group program Your Simple & Spacious Business I made a very gut driven decision to price it as a lifetime offer. Instead of needing to continue to renew and pay to keep access to all of the resources, coaching, and community inside members pay just once and then continue to get access at no extra cost. Do I have any regrets? No. Even though I know...

Living with two chronic illnesses means that I have many routines, structures, and boundaries that I rely on in my business so that I can continue to sustain my work and income whilst also honouring the daily realities of living in a disabled body. I talk a lot about the ways I’ve designed my business model and offers to work best for me and to be a space where I’m able to do meaningful work with...

I’ve found that we talk a lot about growth as small business owners but not enough about actually sustaining these businesses of ours for the long run. Because longevity has always been my goal, not the endless pursuit of more, more, more. Sustaining the energy, devotion, courage and creativity that my business asks of me has been essential for me in my work ever since I started my business 12 yea...

Over and over again my clients have been telling me: I want launching to feel simpler, more easeful, more low-lift. Either big, intense launch plans have exhausted their body and nervous system in the past or they’ve avoided selling altogether because what they think they have to do feels super out of alignment for them. And I get it, because I’m right there with them too. As I shared in my last e...

One of my goals heading into this year was to redefine for myself what launching and sales cycles get to look like in my business, especially for my group program Your Simple & Spacious Business which I sell multiple times a year. Sales were a little slower at times last year but doing bigger launches also just wasn’t feeling good for my nervous system and capacity anymore either. And so much of t...

As a society we celebrate fast growth, pushing through, and overcoming whatever obstacles are in our way. Yet over and over again I see my clients truly crack open gentle momentum and growth in their business journey - and actually have the capacity to sustain that growth - when they are brave enough to honour their needs in the process. When they go at their own pace, when they opt-out of the gro...

A wonderful human left a comment on one of my Substack essays recently that inspired today’s episode. They shared: “I’ve spent the last few years reclaiming my identity from coaches and gurus I purchased courses upon courses from. I was so desperate to find the answer to unlocking success… along the way, I completely lost myself. I’ve been slowly but surely finding myself and rebuilding confidence...

I have been the breadwinner for my family for over a decade now, which has at times felt so empowering and at times also felt like a whole lot of responsibility on my shoulders too. After five years of mostly being a stay at home dad and retraining to be a software developer, my husband started a full time job last October so heading into 2026 I now have the option to earn a little less this year...

A conversation that I have over and over again with the wonderful humans I work with is encouraging them to know and trust that marketing gets to feel way more simple in their business. I have been marketing my business online for 12 years now. 12 years, hundreds of clients and customers, thousands of email subscribers and social media followers, and over a decade of sustaining my business financi...

I feel more clarified at the start of this year than I have in a long while. Or perhaps, more than clarified, I feel like I am in deeper dialogue with my desires and creative curiosities than I have been in recent years. There’s a mini book of essays that I want to write and self publish, an app that I’m building with my husband, a novel idea that I want to get lost in - all whilst gently sustaini...

Does anyone else feel like you’re just not the same person you were at the start of the year? That’s exactly how I’ve found myself feeling as we start to wrap up this year and slowly enter a brand new one in just a few weeks. So for my last podcast episode of the year I’m just sharing a very candid and personal voice note from me to you sharing how I’m processing 2025 and all of the ways it has ch...

Last week I logged into IG, archived a decade of posts, and uploaded a nine grid to be a simple landing page for my business. In today’s episode I share why I did this and take you on a walk down memory lane as I share why IG has always been a side character in my marketing plan, how I have grown my audience online without relying on social media, and why my vision for my marketing plan for this n...

Do you ever feel utterly exhausted by all of the strategic business advice you navigate on the internet? By all of the ways you could be growing your business? And by how inaccessible so much of it feels for the capacity you actually have for you work? Today I’m sharing with you how I opt-out of business strategy that isn’t accessible for my capacity or in alignment with how I actually want to be...

Sometimes life throws us unexpected curveballs and laughs at all of our best laid plans and forces us to adapt and adjust in ways we couldn’t have prepared for. That’s exactly where I’m finding myself right now - adjusting to the fact that my vision for this season looks nothing like I thought it would due to navigating some new health challenges. In today’s episode I share the messy middle behind...

In today’s episode I share the behind the scenes of recently updating the pricing structure of my group program, why I’ve created a concession tier, and how I’m experimenting with a 1:1 tier too. If you love to hear the messy middle behind the scenes of someone else’s business this episode is for you. ✨ Find out more about Your Simple & Spacious Business ✍🏻 Get the Design Your Part Time Business...
