Holistic Productivity and the Sacred Ground of You

There was a time when I treated productivity like a race. I stacked my calendar, color coded every block and drank my weight in lattes. I thought more boxes checked meant a better business. It worked until it didn’t. I was creating, but I was not alive in my life. My body kept whispering, then it started to shout. Headaches, tight shoulders, zero creativity by noon.

One morning I closed the laptop and asked a truer question. If I am the sacred ground of my business, how do I want to be tended?

The answer arrived in small, loving practices. I begin with breath and warm tea before any screen. I ask my body, what would feel nourishing to do first. Some days the answer is a focused writing sprint. Other days it is a walk in the garden or a quiet check in with my journal. I now work in cycles. Ninety minutes on, fifteen minutes to reset. Phone out of the room. Lunch away from the keyboard. A midday pause to stretch and sip water. These tiny rituals keep me present and surprisingly prolific. 

I also redesigned my week. One CEO morning for money and metrics. Two client days where presence is my priority. One creator day for deep work and no meetings. One spacious afternoon for rest or movement. I give myself a real sabbath where the laptop stays closed and my soul gets to breathe. I protect the white space in my calendar like a queen protects her crown. When I honor those boundaries, my ideas arrive brighter and my results are stronger.

I used to see rest as a reward for output. Now I understand rest is the root that feeds it. Recuperation and rejuvenation are not a side dish. They are as vital as the sprints, the launches, and the way we show up for our clients. When I am alive in my life, I am magnetic in my business. When I care for the ground of me, everything I plant grows.

This is what holistic productivity means to me. Alignment before action. Energy before effort. A rhythm that feels human and still moves the needle in meaningful ways. It is not lazy. It is leadership. The kind that is clear, kind, and sustainable.

If you feel called to create this kind of rhythm for yourself, come sit with me in October’s Power Circle.

Which Is Your Money Mindset? Scarcity vs. Abundance Mindset

Let's start by understanding the fundamental difference between a scarcity mindset and an abundance mindset.

Scarcity Mindset 

A scarcity mindset operates from a place of fear and limitation. It's rooted in short-term thinking and the belief that there isn't enough to go around.

But how does the scarcity mindset manifest in your entrepreneurial journey? If you resonate in scarcity mode, you might find yourself:

• Comparing yourself to others
• Driven by a sense of lack
• Worrying that there's never enough
• Constantly chasing the next sale to stay afloat

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? But do you want to know the most limiting effect of a scarcity mindset? It makes you believe that you need to earn more money before you can invest in your growth. When you think about that objectively, it seems a little backwards, doesn’t it? But when you’re stuck in a scarcity mindset, this cycle seems impossible to break.

Abundance Mindset

On the flip side, the abundance mindset is all about embracing the possibilities. It's fueled by generosity, long-term vision, and a profound belief that the universe is abundant. Those with an abundance mindset always seem to discover opportunities, develop deep and magical client relationships, and commit to the outcome by investing time, energy, and money.

When you adopt an abundance mindset, you attract clients as if by magic, clients who value your work and are willing to invest in your services. You understand that by investing in your business and yourself, you create an infectious environment of growth and prosperity.

Ahh, doesn’t that sound so freeing? If you’re ready to trade scarcity for empowered belief, let “No more scarcity!” be your mantra today.

Money Mindset Shift: 3 Steps to Manifesting Abundance

How do you shift from a scarcity money mindset to one of abundance? Well, Brave Sister, it’s a journey. And like any transformation, it starts from within. Here's a three-step process to guide you on your way:

Step 1: Recognize your default pattern.

What's your relationship with money? Are you competitive, anxious, or maybe somewhere in between? Understanding your default mindset is the first step toward change.

Step 2: Challenge your thoughts.

If you catch yourself thinking, "There aren't enough clients," pause and ask yourself, "Is this really true?" Question the validity of these thoughts. Are they facts or just excuses? This is where the transformation begins.

Step 3: Surround yourself with inspiration.

To truly embrace a money mindset shift, your world needs to be filled with people who embody the abundance mindset. Engage with communities and groups where entrepreneurial women uplift and inspire each other. 

The perks? You'll feel a positive boost in your energy, gain fresh ideas, and enjoy the kind of support that makes your dreams feel even more reachable. You may even find collaborative opportunities and expand your professional network. There are plenty of like-minded souls out there who are ready to champion your journey. So, don't hesitate, dive in and let the good vibes fuel your success!

Remember, your money mindset is a powerful force that shapes your financial reality. Are you ready to start manifesting abundance and prosperity? The journey starts within, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

There was a season when my calendar looked like a plate of spaghetti. Canva files, client calls, invoices, social posts, launch pages, laundry. I told myself I could juggle it all because I cared so much. What I actually felt was tired and scattered. One afternoon I asked a gentler question over a latte: what truly matters to me in the way my business feels?

Three words rose up. High touch. Luxurious. Inviting. 

That is when I hired a high-touch designer. I wanted my brand pieces to feel like silk you want to run your hands over, resources people will really use, and pages that invite action with ease. The difference was immediate. Clients interacted more. Opt-ins rose. I felt proud to share my work again.

Next came my first assistant. I used to think hiring meant forty hours a week and a stack of policies. Not true. We started with five hours and one simple task list. We added regular check-ins and we swapped ideas constantly. Those exchanges still fuel my creativity. Three years later she is still with me and our rhythm feels like light. My nervous system thanks me every day.

As the business grew, I brought in coaches for specific edges. A presentation coach to elevate my delivery and slide flow. A launch coach to simplify timelines and convert with heart. A membership mentor to design an experience that keeps members engaged and renewing. Not a stadium of staff, just the right guide at the right moment, each one chosen for alignment and a clear result.

What changed is not only my revenue. It is how I lead. I am clearer about what belongs on my plate and what belongs with someone who loves that work. I am kinder to myself and bolder with decisions because I am not making them alone. And my clients feel it. They notice the polish, the responsiveness, and the steadiness under the sparkle.

If you are overwhelmed by the idea of hiring, remember this truth. It is not all or nothing. Start tiny. One contractor, one outcome, one hour a week if that is all you can hold. Define what matters to you. Choose for alignment, not volume. Let your team grow at the speed of trust.

If this feels like your next season, come sit with me in September’s Power Circle.
