Slowpreneur: Business Without the Busy Stephanie Pellett

On today's episode, we're using Taylor Swift & the Eras tour as a case study to see what we can learn about slowpreneurship! Even if you're not a big fan of Taylor, I still think there are some interesting lessons to be learned from the way that she steers her career. 🎶



We're covering humility, preparedness, generosity, earnestness, sustainability, creativity, and surprise & delight. While the examples are based on the business of a global popstar, the lessons are universal. Hope you find some inspiration here for your own business! 🎤

On today's episode I'm interviewing Sarah Von Bargen about her decision to step back from public internet life and adopt a more sustainable business model for herself.

I've been a fan of Sarah's for years, ever since she was first blogging on Yes and Yes, and long before she was selling courses. So imagine my sadness, delight and envy when she announced her internet retirement! I was so intrigued by her decision and was so excited about this opportunity to ask her more about it. In this episode you'll hear more about the reality of running an online course business, how she stepped away, and her advice for anyone else quitting the internet. It's a fascinating episode that I found really inspiring and helpful.

As a solo business owner, it can be really tough to set boundaries with clients. We need to have policies that protect us, but speaking those out loud and enforcing them with others can feel super scary, if not next to impossible. 🙈

It's also pretty hard to figure out when to be disciplined with your boundary-setting, and when to be more flexible. When we should give people the benefit of the doubt, and when we should hold firm. This is why gentle boundary-setting is an art, not a science. 

In today's episode, I'm sharing two recent stories that illustrated for me some of the principles and values that I believe in when it comes to gentler, more human boundary-setting. Remember: there are no "right answers", there are only answers that feel right to you. ❤️

On today's episode, I'm interviewing social media strategist and event planner Kirsti McNabney, whose mission is to help you connect with your ideal clients in-person and digitally.

If you're somebody who has a major love-hate relationship with social media (🙋🏻‍♀️), this is the episode for you. Kirsti's approach centres authenticity, community, and building true connection with the people you interact with online. We talk a lot about why social media "best practices" might not be right for you, and how you can create a social media presence that actually feels good for you to sustain.

I found Kirsti's wisdom so fresh and helpful, and I know you'll love her advice in this episode.

When the world is scary, it is easy to get sucked into the bad habit of doomscrolling: compulsively checking our various feeds for bad news and updates. This impulse makes sense! We want to be informed, and it's difficult to switch off when things are stressful. 🙃

And yet staying in this cycle of doom is not helping us or anyone else. It's throwing off our nervous systems and making us less effective in our work and our activism. So in today's episode, I'm sharing some of my best strategies and tips for reducing your doomscrolling, plus some crowdsourced suggestions from all of you! 📱

Hopefully there will be something in here that is supportive in reducing the harm of these habits so we can all feel healthier and happier. ❤️
