In this week’s episode of Virtually Free, I’m coming to you from a holiday park during the school holidays because this business was built to give me the freedom to do exactly that. This isn’t about switching off completely. It’s about pausing with purpose, creating space to reflect, and leaning into a slower season strategically.

If you’ve been feeling stretched or scattered, this is your reminder: freedom doesn’t come after success - it comes from how you build it.

In this episode, I share:

✔️ My 90-day planning rhythm especially around school holidays

✔️ The boundaries, systems, and support that make space for rest

✔️ Why I scale back socials (and still thrive) post-launch and holidays

✔️ How time off is planned on purpose not just when I burn out.

If you’re craving more space, structure, and strategy heading into the 25/26 financial year — this is your next step.

Join me for the New Financial Year Planning Day happening this July! Together, we’ll map your goals, offers, income targets, and plan for the next financial year and beyond in a way that fits your life and your season.
