It’s no coincidence that the new year inspires us to set fresh goals for the year ahead – Quarter 1 is just starting, Capricorn season spurs us on & days are lengthening again in the Northern hemisphere. The hype has caught on for a good reason ;) But how can we know the difference between our soul’s path & external influence? After all, we live in this world & we’re influenced by new ideas.

The secret to a thriving business is to design one that’s fulfilling + designed around your lifestyle. With fulfillment, we make sure it’s aligned with our soul’s purpose & the lifestyle part makes it harmonious, not too stressful.

To find such fulfillment + balance, there are 3 pillars that one must create in any business: initiative, expansion & meaning. When these 3 are present, they create the perfect conditions for flow + synchronicity to happen ✨

The amount of money we make & have shapes our quality of life & the impact our business makes. It doesn’t define our intrinsic value but how we use it does reflect our moral values. The following books have helped me embrace saving money, learn how to budget, reframe my worth, define my priorities & find peace with my choices.

A lot of our lives operate within cycles & I’ve found it useful to apply the same view to creativity – if anything, it helps me understand how to best work with my creative rhythms, find peace when I need to surrender & double down on it when inspiration strikes, because I know it’ll be transient.
