Itās hard to believe itās been six weeks since I actively marketed my business.
No networking.
No emails.
No social media.
Iāve been in a quiet season of contemplation.
And itās felt so good to sink into my life.
To unplug from the noise and let my channel run clear.
To focus wholeheartedly on pulling potent medicine from, and for, my clients.
I finally feel ready to return.
But not from the same placeāfrom somewhere new and old; from somewhere remembered.
When I traveled to Massachusetts to visit my family and meet my baby nephew in April, I didnāt plan on pressing pause in my business, but thatās what wanted to happen.
When I returned to Sayulita, I still wasnāt ready to come back.
I realized, with alarming clarity, that I didn’t miss marketing my business. There was no pulse of excitement; no pull to show up and share my magic.
I was burnt out.
I needed rest and stillness, and so I gave myself the gift of quiet non-action.
While it was extremely uncomfortable to tread water at the low end of my emotional wave, eventually, a shimmer of inspiration emerged.
And a new wayāa remembered wayātugged at my heart.
Over the past nine months, I have slowly and unintentionally siphoned soul from strategy, intuition from systems, and aliveness from structure. I lost my natural way in the name of becoming better and more strategic at marketing.
Let me be clear: There is nothing wrong with applying strategy, systems, and structure to your business.
But when they begin to water down who you truly areāwhen they put you in a box you never wanted to be ināthey drain the very essence that makes you [and your brand] so potent.
Thatās not a world I want to play in.
And Iām constantly getting lost to remember this again and again.
In this next season of sharing my soul work, Iām leaving behind the noise of what I thought I needed and rooting into the truth that wants to be met in the moment.
The truth:
Iām craving intimacy and realness in my business;
Iām craving depth, not width;
Iām craving less-is-more; quiet, but potent; community care and connection.
What this looks like in real time:
šŖ I’m bringing back soulful shares + insightful stories.
I only want to share when I have something to say. No more forcing creativity to show up on a schedule. Itās time to give SEO and āstrategic contentā a rest.
šŖ I’m cozying up with my network and email list more than social media.
While I genuinely enjoying creating a beautiful Instagram feed, I spend way too much time scrolling and pressuring myself to post. I want to funnel my life force into nurturing relationships with people who have raised their hands to hear from me.
šŖ I’m hosting a FREE summer series.
The SUSTAINABILITY SESSIONS are a brand new, never-been-done-before community offering for service-based business owners who desire a more grounded way to grow their business.
While I love a good online networking event, Iāve been craving a container with more depth and soul.
So why not create it?
Each gathering will consist of a live transmission from me on a relevant theme, 1:1 breakout rooms designed for connection and reflection on the theme, and one large group share at the end.
I promise, itās not like anything else thatās out there. If youāre craving a more soulful way to connect and network, this series is for you.
At its core, this next season of showing up is about coming home.
Itās not about scaling, optimizing, or being super strategic.
Itās about deepening into whatās already there, letting business be personal again, and building something that feels like me.
If youāre feeling the pull to reconnect with your own rhythm and build a business that feels like home, Iād love to walk with you.
Check out my signature coaching program, ABUNDANCE BY DESIGN.
Or sign up for Rooted Visibilityāthe first gathering in the series.
With love & alignment,
-Kayla
