Welcome to Week 11 of 12 Weeks of Wintering! We're exploring Space Making, the act of creating intentional pauses, buffer zones, and moments to reflect.

Hear about my own struggle with waking up every morning in reaction mode (consuming news, emails, social media, podcasts) and feeling overwhelmed and anxious instead of grounded. You'll learn:

• Why creative business owners especially need space to let ideas percolate
• How to evaluate your relationship with digital media and noise
• Practical ways to integrate space-making into your calendar

12 Weeks of Wintering is a practice I'm sharing while I'm on parental leave. Each week offers a Wintering theme, with a minisode like this, an email companion, and reflection prompt so you can add some Being back into all your Doing.

Join the free Wintering Club to add community and accountability to your being practice! You'll find:

• Access to a private Slack chat where you can respond to a prompt around each week's theme and connect with other creatives doing this work
• Monthly virtual meet-ups to unpack the practices, facilitated by Angie Lake (who'll be holding down the fort while I'm on leave)
• Think of this as a coaching practice you can take at your own pace. It's an invitation to reset and make time for the reflection and just being that you've been putting off.

Join my email list and share this with others to get the rest of 12 Weeks of Wintering in your inbox, and to hear when I return from leave in the spring.

Welcome to Week 10 of 12 Weeks of Wintering! We're exploring Radical Ownership, something that's totally shifted how I look at my life.

Hear about my own journey from feeling burdened by choice to embracing it as a gift and privilege. You'll learn:

• The difference between radical ownership and self-blame
• Why decision-making is at the heart of creative business ownership
• How to shift from "woe is me" to "holy shit, I get to choose"

Welcome to Week 9 of 12 Weeks of Wintering! We're exploring Transformation, how true change happens and why it takes more time than we think.

Hear about the ACT framework (Awareness → Choice → Transformation) that my own coach introduced me to, and why it's been such a game-changer for understanding why new insights don't immediately translate into new behaviors. You'll learn:

• Why awareness is the crucial first step before any change can happen
• How to build the muscle of noticing before you can make different choices
• Why giving yourself time and grace is essential for lasting transformation
