About this deal
I decided to start a coaching business! I had reached some amazing dreams like living on the Spanish Riviera for 2 months with my family but I wasn’t happy. The pressure to earn and loneliness once again led me disappointment. Listening to our inner cycles can tell us when to best rest, start projects, socialize, and bring things to completion.
Marie: Yeah, no and I really loved what you shared too because it’s also about you start that cycle and people will then ask you for help and you can contribute to them and that…When we ask often, we’ve strengthened the muscle and we get good at it and then it allows us to ask kindly and it is so much easier to think about… I think about in my marriage, when I’m cranky and I’m way past needing help, I am not easy to help and no one wants to help me because I’m awful and if I ask early and often, then it’s really easy to ask kindly where I can be like, hey babe, next week I’ve got this thing, can you get the girls at daycare and whatever, what have you, and it’s like, oh yeah, sure. No problem because you are being lovely right now. I was telling my art therapist my mantra/one word for 2017 is “stillness” my whole being is demanding I replenish myself this year instead of deplete. The number one thing I’ve heard since making the rounds on all the podcasts and launching Do Less is that people’s minds are blown by the information about cyclical living and how we have this inner blueprint for productivity that no one has ever taught you…until now. Marie: Yeah and it’s about meaning too. I actually highlighted this from the book. You wrote, the whole purpose of doing less, is to have the experience of having more, not more stuff, but more meaning in our lives and I thought that really beautifully articulated what so many of us are craving. You and I obviously both remember a time when we were running our businesses and social media didn’t exist. We also remember a time…
good at. The things that light you up are the things that will lead you to make the most impact in the world.

In 2011 I was pregnant with my first child. I had been working as a professor of pharmacy for 9 years and I was the breadwinner. My son almost died in my womb. He was born 5 weeks pre-mature at less than 3 lbs. It was the biggest wake up call of my life. It took a year for me to get the lesson but I ended up leaving the “good” career I didn’t love and went on a soul journey and found my creativity. I never imagined I would be a writer. I always say that I birthed my son but he gave me life as I finally found my passion.
