We hope you're all taking some time off to recharge so you get hit it hard next week! 💪
I took a day off yesterday. I sat on the couch, turned off my notifications, and watched @bobsburgersfox (might be the best show ever).
Today, I'm feeling rested and ready to take on anything that comes my way!
I woke up and told my husband that I "finally feel human" again.
We all need time off. Don't be afraid to take it.
Yesterday, when I looked at our event line-up for March, it felt a little overwhelming. Today, I'm ready to do cartwheels!

Are you ready to find out exactly what resilience is, and explore holistic practices that have been scientifically proven to reduce stress and create resilience so that we can stay calm, collected and composed no matter what life throws at us?
We're hosting Building Resilience: Practices for Reducing Stress and Anxiety with @nmyogawellness on 3/2 at 3pm ET / 12pm PT 💮
Exposure to prolonged stress and anxiety has harmful effects on our physical and mental health. Manage and build resilience to stress
So it's important to know how to manage and build resilience to stress.
Wellness coach & Ayurvedic health advisor, Nicole Matthiesen will be leading a discussion on how stress affects the nervous system and what we mean by "resilience."
Walk away with...
👉 an understanding of holistic techniques that help reverse the effects of stress and create resiliency
👉 an exploration of perspectives to help us create a stress-resilient mindset
👉 resilience-building techniques, which we will practice together so you feel comfortable doing them on your own
“Nicole’s knowledge of Ayurveda in addition to her calm and reassuring coaching helped me transition through challenges that I wasn’t able to navigate myself. She helped me find a way to apply the lessons practically to my life so that I could move forward in creating a healthier physical and mental space for myself. I highly recommend her offerings if you are looking for a way to move closer to what you are trying to create for yourself in body-mind health.” - M.W.

I started telling myself this in 2019. It took me working from home and striking out into the entrepreneurial world from 2012-2019 to let myself off the hook when I didn't do what I thought I was "supposed" to be doing.
And, that's ok, too.
It's ok that it took me a long time to accept that I don't like to shower until the evening. It's the end of my day.
Plus, if I shower in the morning, I won't work out.
Know yourself. Give yourself grace. You've got this! 💪
Who else wants to feel like this at networking events? 🙋
Honestly, if I don't feel like this at an event, I probably won't come back.
Because you know what?
I KNOW that networking can be a blast (even if you think you hate networking).
I've seen it, I've felt it, I've lived it.

Want the details? 👇
As a coach, consultant, or seasoned professional, taking the leap from 1:1 work or small groups to a more scalable program can feel risky, especially when you want a program that operates year-round.
Thoughts like ...
🙋 What if I offer too much and it’s not sustainable?
🙋 How many people does it require to be successful?
🙋 How do I keep my community engaged?
🙋 What if people don’t want to stay in the group very long?
… can cause you to put off growing your cozy membership or even start it in the first place.
The Profitable Membership Summit will help you
✅ Design a program to bring reliable MRR into your business
✅ Create a plan to scale your biz without burning out!
✅ Get inspiration to launch your minimum viable membership model
