326: When You’ve Outgrown Your Business: How to Reignite Your Spark in Midlife
Have you ever woken up, looked at your calendar, and thought… “I should be excited about this, but I’m just tired?” You don’t HATE your business. In fact, things are working well. On the outside, you look successful. But inside, you’re feeling disconnected (and maybe even a little resentful). This is the midlife shift so many women business owners go through, even though it is RARELY talked about. In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks (and feels) like when your spark begins to fade, why it happens after years in business, and how you can bring the joy, desire, and alignment back into your life and business without burning it all down. Here’s What You’ll Learn in the Episode: The subtle signs that you’ve outgrown your business (or at least, your current business model) and why that does NOT mean you’ve failed Why joy should not be looked at as a “bonus”... but as the fuel that drives your creativity, energy, and growth. The 3-step Business RE:Model Framework and how to RE:Align, RE:Connect, and RE:Define your business so it feels right for the season of life you’re in NOW. Practical ways to shift your role, your offers, and your boundaries so you can feel energised again. Why reclaiming your identity and your desire is KEY to finding fulfilment in this next stage of business (and life).
