Ever felt like if you’re not chasing 10K months, six-figure launches, or scaling at lightning speed, then you’re somehow failing? That unspoken pressure to “go big or go home” is everywhere in the online world — but it’s also a trap that can leave you exhausted, paralysed, and disconnected from what you actually want.
In this episode, I share why I’ve moved away from the hustle of huge goals, and why smaller, slower, and simpler aims are not only valid but often smarter and braver. We’ll talk about how chasing someone else’s definition of success can derail you, why comparing your solo business to industry “norms” is pointless, and how to set goals that actually fit your energy, life, and priorities.
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by pressure to think bigger or grow faster, this episode will help you reframe “slow” as sustainable, intentional, and conscious — and remind you that the bravest choice is building a business that truly works for you.
✨ Bravery doesn’t always look like going bigger. Sometimes it’s saying no to pressure, yes to yourself, and choosing growth that feels good.
