Are you caught in the loop of constant growth and rigid planning? What if you could organize your life and business in a way that honors your natural rhythms instead?

In this episode, I sit down with Kate Vanden Bos, creator of the Growth Cycle—a revolutionary framework for personal evolution rooted in rhythm, not hustle. We explore how to align your life and work with your own energy cycles, using Kate’s 12-phase growth model as a map for intentional living.

Kate shares how her years of study in somatic healing, nature-based coaching, and her own burnout led to the creation of this grounded and magical system. We talk about ditching the five-year plan, redefining productivity, and letting the wisdom of nature shape your timeline.

What You'll Discover:

• The origin story of the Growth Cycle (05:19 )
• How the Growth Cycle helps you identify what season you’re in (13:44 )
• Why traditional planning fails most entrepreneurs (25:06 )
• What rest really looks like in the growth cycle (26:33 )
• How to make room for both structure and soul in your personal and professional life (42:11 )

This episode is for the seekers, the overthinkers, the perfectionists, and the creatives. If you’ve been searching for a way to plan that actually makes sense for how you move through the world, this conversation will feel like coming home.
