What if the best thing you could do for your business this year… was do less?

In this raw, behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing how intentionally creating blank space in my calendar—not a break, not a vacation, but a purposeful pause—completely transformed my business growth.

You’ll hear how stepping back led to major clarity, a game-changing mastermind invite with Brendon Burchard, and a bold new approach to my product suite and funnels. I also dive into the power of Deep Work Days, why “busy” isn’t always better, and how to stop overcommitting and start expanding.

This isn’t a framework. It’s real-time documentation of a massive mindset shift.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in hustle mode, this is your permission slip to do things differently in 2025.
