You need to let it go.

Despite what the photo above may lead you to believe, we’re not actually at a cabin enjoying Poppi from a wineglass all cozied up by the fire (although I really wish we were lol, I love fall).

Instead, we’re currently in Arizona for Taryn’s She’s Going Somewhere retreat this week which we are equally excited about!!

In fact, today we’ll be guest speaking at her retreat about “Zero Burnout Offers” and I legit cannot wait to have this conversation with these incredible business owners IRL (we’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes on our Instagram stories @joandlyndon).

There’s going to be some white-boarding, some reflecting, some reframes and “we’re about to call you out in the best way” punchlines and holy moly, I am so excited.

We’ve been having similar conversations with our coaching clients & other business owners lately around burn-out and offers & it turns out, there’s a lot of us who are burnt out by our offers!! Shocker!

Maybe you’ve been offering the same thing for so long that you feel like you can’t change things up now because “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

Or maybe you’re afraid of change and don’t want to do anything differently because “this is the way it’s always been done”

It’s funny…we tend to reserve those statements for corporate (coming from someone whose never been a corporate girly but married a corporate boy turned entrepreneur) but we completely miss how often we express the same sentiments in our own darn businesses. 😮‍💨

MHMMMMM, I’m going there.

Allow me to simply remind you for a moment that you are your own boss which means you can do whatever the heck you want. Within reason, of course. This isn’t me telling you to go off the rails and jeopardize everything. We still want to be intentional about it. However…[**within reason**]

• If you want to cancel your launches and go all in on a specific offer you know is worth betting on (like we did), YOU CAN DO THAT.

• If you’re so overwhelmed by a self-imposed deadline (oh Lord), you can move it back (surprise! you’re the boss, you get to change deadlines! It’s allowed!!)

• If you’re realizing that there’s a certain offer or client that you’ve been holding onto for a beat too long (Lord have mercy) and its draining you and sucking the life out of you, you can let them go (yes really! you really can!). Turns out, when you let go what’s no longer serving you, it opens up a whole lot of room for you to work on the things & with the individuals that are actually in alignment for you in this season!

There’s A LOT of wiggle room & changes we can make inside our business that we so often don’t allow ourselves to. Simply because we’ve gotten so attached to the way things have always been done, or someone told us to do xyz once and we’ve been doing it ever since, or any other number of reasons we give ourselves.

You’re allowed to shift things up.

Allow this to be your reminder to take a second look at how you’ve been doing things in your business. Take a moment this week to sit down and ask yourself these questions:

• In the past 6 months, what tasks/projects have put you in a flow state (lost track of time, felt energized doing them, could do it all day long and be happy)?

• In the past 6 months what tasks/projects have been drainers (put them off forever, throw off your whole day when you have to do them, put you in a bad mood, block happiness)?

• 12 months from now, what would be your ideal day/week? What are the things you’re personally doing / responsible for?

(Fun Fact: these questions are taken directly from our onboarding questionnaire for our coaching clients!)

You might be surprised at what comes up!!

Hit reply and tell me what came up for you in that exercise (or while reading through this email!) I’d love to hear your takeaways and cheer you on. 🫶🏼

LOVE NOTES 💌

As you’ve probably picked up on by now, we’ve been having some of the best conversations with our 1:1 clients inside our signature program Your Big Shift.

One of those clients is none other than Hayley from @afterwordsstudio and in her most recent call we made a suggestion that cued all of the lightbulbs coupled with some major breaths of fresh air for her when it comes to how she labels herself, her unique superpower as a business owner, and honestly just doing things more “outside of the box”.

This was her response the day after:

And lemme just say, there’s been a major energy shift in her socials since that conversation — ie: her big shift is quite literally happening right before our eyes!! She’s having the best time leaning into her unique ability and tapping into what lights her up as a business owner and IT SHOWS. ✨

For example:

• Check out this reel she put up today for a major SEO tip you might be missing for your website!!
