What do you do when it feels hard to show up in your business? Do you push yourself and grind it out, or do you scale back and slow down? If you’re a longtime listener of the show, I think you can guess which one I lean toward. :D

It is so important for us to have self-compassion when these hard days (or weeks, or months!) show up in our businesses. They are a part of life, so it is important to have the space to slow things down when we need to. But so many people design their businesses as if they will always be able to work at full capacity, which makes it hard to scale back when it becomes necessary.

In this week’s episode Laura and I are talking about this topic because we’ve both felt the need to step back and slow down lately. Whether it’s a sick kid, a lack of creative energy or a need to redefine our business, it is so crucial to be able to take a breather from our work when we feel that it is needed.

Laura and I dive into capacity, why we need to build space into our business model, and how we can be compassionate with ourselves when we aren’t showing up at 100%.
