Alchemy & Action (formerly Wellpreneur): Nature-based Personal Growth for High-Achieving Women

Autumn is a time of letting go, and this week we're exploring letting go of excess clutter in your business. Over time we accumulate habits, recurring payments, marketing activities, products and services, and clients that don't add a lot to our business joy or bottom line. This is the season to streamline and let go of that which doesn't bring you joy, or profit! We'll look at letting go of subscriptions, marketing...

Have you ever felt like you've outgrown your business? That it just doesn't light you up or excite you the way it used to? As an entrepreneur who was likely really excited and motivated about your business for a long time - this can be concerning! What happens if you never want to work again? What if you can't find the motivation to consistently work on or grow your business? Is it just going to start feeling like a JOB...

The holiday season of November, December, and January can be a whirlwind of obligations and expectations.

When you hear the idea of slowing down, do you feel like "I wish I could do that" or "that's a nice idea but really not for me"? Today we're talking about slowing down - living and working at a slower pace. I personally discovered that by slowing down my own work gained more depth and richness, in spite of the fact that the "old me" from 10-20 years ago would never even think about pacing down as som...

We know that routines and habits are really effective - but they sound really dry and practical. They work, but they're certainly not inspiring. What if we reframe some of our daily actions as rituals? A ritual is an action we do repeatedly - but it's infused with meaning (and a bit of magic!) In this episode we'll look at some of the ways you might choose to switch some of your routines to rituals, and how that could b...

What if we could accept that we didn't have to perform at peak everyday? What if we could align with the natural seasons and cycles in the world and our life, to make everything feel more easy and flowing? In this episode, we look at the natural cycles and seasons that affect our life and work. The seasons of the year, the wheel of the year, the moon cycle, menstrual cycle, and also life seasons and phases, such as maiden, moth...

Each season has it's own natural energies. I've found that if I align with the energy happening that season, life and work feel easier. So this week let's dig into the energies of autumn. We'll look at the four main energies of the season and what they mean for your life and work. If you'd like to go deeper into connecting with autumn, nature around you and living in sync with the seasons, check out our membersh...

Connecting with the natural seasonal cycle where you live is the fundamental practice in my work. In this episode, you'll learn about the Wheel of the Year and begin noticing how the season shows up in your place.

Connect to this ancient way of knowing and noticing, something t...
