If your business leaves you constantly overwhelmed, overbooked or feeling uneasy, like things aren't working in the way you want them to - this episode is for you.

I’m walking you through the difference between a burnout-prone business and one that’s been intentionally built to support you long-term - without the daily stress and overwhelm. Because it’s not about working harder or adding more to your plate… it’s about building a business that gives you space, steadiness and sustainability.

This episode isn’t a quick fix or checklist - it’s a deeper look at the kind of changes that shift everything. The same changes I made myself and now guide my clients through inside Booked Not Busy!

✨ If this resonated and you’re craving a more peaceful, predictable business, doors to Booked Not Busy are open this week until the 30th September! Find out more or join us here: https://www.mentor.gattoweb.com/bookednotbusy

Hope this one helps and gives you a little clarity on where you are and what’s possible 💛

I’ll be back next week with more! In the meantime, find me over here:

Today I'm sharing something a little different - the replay of my recent panel with fellow creative service providers - The Creatives Who Got Booked Up Peacefully!

In this live panel, I sat down with three amazing BNB members to have a real, honest chat about what it actually takes to build a booked-up creative business that feels calm and sustainable.

We covered it all - from what their businesses looked like before, to the turning points that helped them move away from burnout and feast & famine cycles, to what life looks like now with more peace and consistency.

Here are just some of the things we talked about:

• The struggles of balancing client work with everything else in business
• Why peace isn’t just “nice to have” but the foundation for growth and consistency
• The rebrands that helped them call in dreamier clients and clearer positioning
• How raising prices (and shifting offers) became a natural part of building a more sustainable business
• What “peaceful” means for each of them - and how different that can look from person to person

This was an open, supportive conversation about the highs and lows of running a creative business and the real shifts that helped these creatives get booked up peacefully.

Waiting until you're burnt out before you take a proper break is only going to encourage quicker and deeper burnout... I want you to take control of your time off and feel confident that you can be rested and at your most creative with regular, restorative time off.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I’m designing my business right now to take the full summer off next year - and how you can start planning for the time off you really want, too. Whether it’s a week, a fortnight, or a whole month, taking time off isn’t about luck or last-minute juggling - it’s about building a business that supports space.

I’ll be walking you through my plans for next summer, the steps I'm taking to make sure that time off is my priority, and how you can follow the same steps.

✨ If the idea of taking a full month off and generally creating more time off is what you need, my group program Booked, Not Busy opens next week - and the waitlist is the best place to be. I’d love to support you in building a peaceful, booked-up business that gives you the time off you’ve been craving.

Hope this one plants a seed for you 🌱 I’ll be back next week with more 🧡
