This week it's a solo episode from me talking about how I am putting my word of the year 'spaciousness' into action.

I'm talking about both the practical, tangible steps that I’m taking to make that this possible as well as the internal shifts that I’ve needed to make to get out of doing mode.

In the episode I mention a blog post that talks through the pyramid goal system that I use, that you can find here: https://www.debbielee.co.uk/blog/how-to-set-goals-that-you-can-achieve

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Beyond Business Summer Podcast Series! Today, we explore how to create and nurture a regenerative framework for your online business, taking inspiration from nature's cycles. We'll revisit the cyclical model, emphasizing the importance of placing purpose at the heart of your business activities.

In this episode, I focus on the winter phase: replenishment. Discover how strategic rest and seeking feedback can fuel the next cycle of growth, leading to new ideas and inspiration. Learn how to integrate downtime into your schedule and understand the value of stepping away from work to let creativity flourish.

Additionally, I have a special bonus episode for you coming up next week— a workshop-style session designed to help you apply the cyclical approach to your own business. This session will guide you to jot down your ideas and ensure you have a tangible takeaway to act as a springboard for your next stage of action.
