What have I done for me vs. for my business?

Let's Dive in

Creating a program just for yourself, rather than solely for your business, is important for several reasons:

1. Personal Growth and Fulfillment-
- Passion Projects: Engaging in activities you are passionate about can lead to personal satisfaction and fulfillment. It allows you to explore interests that might not be directly related to your work.

- Skill Development: Personal projects often involve learning new skills or honing existing ones, which can be both enjoyable and beneficial in other areas of your life.

2. Work-Life Balance:
- Stress Reduction: Having a program or hobby outside of work can provide a much-needed break and help reduce stress. It can serve as a way to unwind and recharge, leading to better overall well-being.

-Preventing Burnout: Constantly focusing on work without personal downtime can lead to burnout. Engaging in personal projects can help maintain a healthier work-life balance.

 

3. Creativity and Innovation:
- Fresh Perspectives: Working on something different from your business can spark creativity and provide new perspectives. This can indirectly benefit your business by fostering innovative thinking.

- Cross-Disciplinary Learning: Skills and knowledge gained from personal projects can often be applied in unexpected ways to your professional life, enhancing problem-solving abilities and creativity.

4. Personal Identity and Autonomy:
- Self-Identity: Engaging in activities outside of work helps maintain a sense of self-identity that is not solely tied to your professional role. This can be crucial for long-term happiness and self-esteem.

- Autonomy and Control: Personal projects allow you to have complete control and decision-making power, which can be empowering and satisfying, especially if your business requires compromises and collaboration.

5. Social Connections and Networking:
- Building Relationships: Personal projects often involve meeting new people and forming relationships based on shared interests. This can expand your social network and provide emotional support.

- Community Engagement: Participating in community activities or groups related to your interests can create a sense of belonging and connection, enhancing your social life.

6. Legacy and Personal Achievements:
- Leaving a Mark: Personal projects can be a way to leave a personal legacy, achieving things that you can be proud of on a deeply personal level.

- Documenting Personal History: They can also serve as a way to document and reflect on your personal journey, providing a tangible record of your growth and achievements outside of your professional life.

Craving a space to connect deeper?

I'm creating a program opening in October where we will go deep for 6 months. Tapping into movement, mindfulness and mother nature as medicine. This program is for the woman who has been feeling the call to embrace the subtle body, to do some deep inner work, who is tired of outsourcer her own power and happiness.

LEarn My Story

My mission is to help women learn how to slow down, tune in and connect to their inner wisdom using Ayurveda as their guide.

Ayurveda transformed my life after the birth of my first son in 2016 and I have made it my life's work to help others learn the healing benefits of Ayurvedic medicine ever since!

I host a weekly podcast, Peaceful Power Podcast and have written two cyclical living books- Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle. 

My other interests are playing tennis, watching the Hallmark Channel, and enjoying my morning cup of coffee. I also love exploring my favorite nature trail with my two boys and hubby. 

I've been an Ayurvedic Wellness counselor, 500 HR Yoga Teacher and Personal trainer since 2007.
