What if the key to your next big breakthrough in business isn’t in hustling harder, but in actually slowing down? If you’ve been caught in the cycle of go-go-go, pushing toward the next goal while ignoring how exhausted you feel, then this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast is one you need to hear. I’m joined by Sarah Watson, leadership consultant and self-proclaimed "Creator of Calm" at The Restoration Project, to talk about the power of pause in business and why slowing down might be your best productivity hack yet.

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Sarah shares why redefining success is essential for long-term sustainability and how her own shift from constant striving to intentional planning has made her work and life more fulfilling. We talk about toxic productivity, separating your self-worth from your work, and how to create a business that honors both your ambition and your humanity. And for those of you leading a team or considering your first hire, Sarah gives tangible advice on what it really looks like to lead well (hint: it doesn’t mean having all the answers).

Whether you’re scaling your team or managing it all solo, you’ll walk away from this conversation with a renewed perspective on what success looks like in different seasons — and why letting go of "busy" is often the most powerful move you can make. If you’re ready to stop chasing "more" and start building something that lasts, hit play on this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast.

What if true success in business isn’t about chasing bigger goals, hitting higher revenue milestones, or constantly being "on" — but about learning to be content with what you’ve already built? In this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast, I’m joined by my long-time client and friend, Lindsy Trotter, the founder of Chilled Freezer Meals, to talk about what it looks like to slow down and scale back while embracing contentment in a season of maintenance rather than hustle for constant growth.

This is the kind of conversation I wish more women in business were having — the honest behind-the-scenes of what happens after you hit the big numbers, grow your team, and build the business you once dreamed about. What if that "success" doesn’t feel the way you expected it to? What if instead of more hustle, your next move is actually less?

If you’re feeling pulled in a hundred directions, questioning your next step, or simply craving a slower pace of business, tune in to this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast for a refreshing, real-life perspective on what success can look like when you give yourself permission to grow differently.
