Small Shifts That Support You When Work Slows Down

Send us a text

If business feels quieter right now—more space, fewer deadlines—you’re not alone. And you’re definitely not doing it wrong.

 In this solo episode, I’m sharing the small shifts that have helped me (and the solopreneurs I work with) navigate slow seasons with clarity and care. This isn’t about scaling or optimizing every minute of downtime. It’s about noticing what’s already working… and gently building from there.

 Whether you’re neurodivergent, guided by Human Design, or just tired of hustle-mode being the default, this episode is an invitation to move differently.

 Here’s what I cover:

• Why systems already exist—even if you haven’t written them down (04:07)
• The power of rhythms over routines, especially for energy-led planning (11:22)
• What scaffolding looks like when you’re overwhelmed or foggy (08:38)
• How I build boundaries into my client processes—without overexplaining (16:43)
• What your business safety net could look like at 60% capacity (20:58)
• Micro-shifts that support Projectors, Generators, and neurodivergent solopreneurs (06:55)

 This episode is a reminder: slow seasons don’t mean you’re falling behind. They mean you finally have space to shape the business that holds you.
