Grab your coffee and get ready for a vulnerable conversation about one of the hardest decisions in business - knowing when to stop something that isn't working, even when it disappoints people you care about. I'm sharing the real story behind cancelling my Rewild retreat this year, the emotional and strategic process behind that decision, and why sometimes the most powerful move a CEO can make is changing direction. If you've ever felt that niggle about an offer that just doesn't feel right anymore, this episode is for you.

Key Topics Covered

Recognising When Something Isn't Aligned

• Body awareness: checking for expansion vs contraction with each offer
• That persistent little voice on repeat that you keep ignoring
• When you're not "lit up" as a Generator - massive warning sign
• The difference between strategic challenges and misalignment

The Strategic Side of Pivoting

• Having financial systems in place (separate bank account for retreat deposits)
• Proper terms and conditions (Lucy Legal templates recommended)
• Not leaving gaps - knowing what you want to pivot TO, not just away from
• Building flexibility into your business model to allow for pivots

Signs From the Universe

• My in-person business event sold out quickly and made similar profit to the whole retreat
• When you make aligned decisions, opportunities flow more easily
• The difference between pushing through versus moving with the flow

Quick Implementation Audit

Check In With Your Current Offers:

• Go through each event/offer and notice: expansion or contraction in your body?
• Circle anything that makes your energy drop when you think about it
• When did you last push through despite your intuition saying no?

Assess Your Business Flexibility:

• Do you have enough diverse offerings to allow for pivots?
• What upcoming events feel heavy rather than exciting?
• Have you built financial cushions for potential changes?

Trust Your Internal Guidance:

• What would it look like if you trusted your inner compass as much as your strategic planning?
• Are you familiar with your Human Design and how it guides decisions?
• What's that persistent little voice been trying to tell you?
