Welcome to Week 2 of 12 Weeks of Wintering! We're diving into the power of Capacity: understanding the time, energy, money, and space you actually have available to accomplish your goals (before taking action).

Hear about my own reckoning with capacity when I became a mom, and the struggles I often see clients face around their capacity. You'll learn:

• Why you can't out-optimize your calendar

• A multi-step approach to managing your workload

• Why capacity and vision work best together

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 invite others to do the same to get the rest of 12 Weeks of Wintering in my inbox, and to hear when I return from leave in the spring.

Welcome to Week 1 of 12 Weeks of Wintering! We're diving into the power of Visioning: not just setting goals, but creating an expansive picture of the life and version of yourself you want to become.

Hear my own story of building a "successful" freelance events business that checked all the boxes on paper, but didn't align with who I actually wanted to be. You'll learn:

• Why it's helpful to set goals that actually feed your vision
• Permission to be super expansive in your vision
• How freelancers can use visioning when times are tough
