Birthing a Baby and a Business: How I rebuilt my business postpartum to six figures without burning out

When I rebuilt my business from the ground up postpartum, I was determined to do things differently in a more aligned way.

 

I was done with the sprint-crash burnout cycle.

I was no longer willing to sacrifice time with loved ones, my health, or my creative joy, to achieve “security” or “success.”

What I desired felt both simple and wildly ambitious:

A flexible, thriving, fulfilling business that allows me to be a present mom.

To feel creatively alive. 

To feel free, relaxed, spacious ease, pleasure in my every day.

I wanted to travel whenever we wanted. To live a schedule so spacious that I can be there for my baby, my husband, my family, and my friends, for both the mundane and magical moments.

 

I wanted to be able to make drop-offs and pick-ups.

  • To sit front row at my son’s recitals and games.

  • To have the resources to support him towards whatever dream he chooses.

  • To have my needs met so deeply that I am a happy, relaxed mom and everyone around me thrives.

  • To fulfill my purpose of creating generational joy, pleasure, beauty, and creativity.

 

The turning point wasn’t doing more or pushing harder.

It was reintegrating the parts of myself.

 

Through parts work and nervous system-informed strategy, I reorganized the internal leadership of my business. 

So fear-driven parts no longer ran the show, and my grounded wisdom, strategic brain, creativity, intuition, and zone of genius could lead.

From that place of internal alignment and harmony, I’ve expanded my capacity to navigate the uncertainty, visibility, fears, and ups-and-downs of entrepreneurship with more ease.

 

I also surrounded myself with aligned support systems and people who get it. My coach, business friends and peers, so that I'm not trying to do it all by myself (I've done this before and it wasn't cute). 

 

They help me clear my head, process things, access my intuition, see more clearly and objectively, maintain momentum, move more precisely, solve problems with less mind drama, operate from my zone of genus, think of ideas I couldn't have by myself…it's invaluable.

 

This was how growth became sustainable. Visibility felt safer. Decisions became clearer. Expansion stopped feeling like a threat.

 

This helped me:

  • Build a booked-out coaching practice and grow beyond six figures on part-time hours, without burning out

  • Come home to my true zone of brilliance and clarify my direction

  • Make clear, confident decisions without spiraling and less second-guessing

  • Attract deeply aligned clients who I love working with

  • Grow my business while feeling safe, steady, and grounded in my body

  • Feel deeply connected with my ancestors, my purpose, my voice, and my creative expression

  • Feel deeply resourced as a mother, wife, entrepreneur, and artist

I stopped overworking.

I stopped overriding my body.

I started doing less, and receiving more.

 

The wildest part is…

This is the least amount of solo time I’ve ever had in my life (hello toddler mom life).

And yet, I feel the most creatively fulfilled, spiritually connected, financially resourced, peaceful, relaxed, and clear in my purpose than I ever have, after a lifetime of sprinting in survival mode.

 

This approach is also what’s helped my clients come home to their unique zone of brilliance.

  • To clarify their offerings

  • To confidently launch their work

  • To attract aligned, high-ticket clients

  • To feel grounded and calm as they expand into their dream version of themselves and grow their business their way

And as I coached these women 1:1, I started to see key patterns again and again. I wished they could come together and see that they are not alone in their doubts, visions, celebrations, fears.

 

I asked myself, what if we could do it together? To get in the room together and experience the magic of shared intentions. Build a bigger boat for even more steadiness in the waters. We’d go farther together.

This is the mastermind effect.

And this is the foundation of Brilliance:
