Seasonal planning

After more than a decade of running a creative business, I’ve learned the value of slowing down and tuning in — to myself, to the seasons, and to the natural ebb and flow of energy they bring.

Seasonal Planning Guides

Working with the seasons offers a gentle structure, space for reflection, and a chance to set meaningful goals without the pressure to do it all at once. It’s helped me plan in a way that feels more sustainable and I hope it can do the same for you.

I’ve created these seasonal planning guides to help you embrace the rhythm of the year in your business. Each one includes thoughtful prompts and ideas to guide your focus and align your energy with the season.

And you can start at any time. Whether you’re planning for the months ahead or simply focusing on the next few weeks, let the season shape your next steps.

This is your seasonal planning hub — a place to return to throughout the year for inspiration, reflection, and steady, intentional growth.

You can download your summer planning guide now, and come back in September when the autumn guide launches. And you can learn more about working with the seasons in my recent blog post.
