Crystalizing Visions & Clarifying Plans: Behind-The-Scenes April 2025

Have you ever felt the urge to slow down, tune in to the natural rhythms around you, and create something that truly reflects your authentic self?  What if the beauty is in the messy middle of that creation?

In this episode, Nancy and I invite you into our process of launching something new: a monthly behind-the-scenes series within the Deeply Rested podcast. This episode kicks off with our April check-in, where we reflect on how we’re applying the energy of spring to crystallize our vision and clarify our plans for the upcoming months.

While navigating the messiness of the season, Nancy and I chat about the importance of slowing down to reflect on the moment, intentionally deciding what to create, and allowing for the surprises that emerge in the process. We touch on how creating space for these moments of reflection allows us to align our business with life’s rhythms and natural cycles.

By embracing vulnerability and transparency, we walk listeners through:

• The power of slowing down and intentionally stepping into April (03:45)
• Why the creative process doesn’t always have to be polished or planned (08:12)
• How we are channeling spring’s energy into our business with intention (12:37)
• Maintaining boundaries and managing energy while in a creative surge (18:42)
• Using reflection to build a holistic plan that’s aligned with both life and business (25:55)
• Harnessing spring energy within business plans (36:02)
• A call to listeners to co-create with us through a listener survey (48:56)

If you’re feeling the pull of creativity but struggling to find clarity, this episode will remind you that it’s okay to experiment, take it slow, and embrace the process—even when it’s messy. Let this episode serve as a guide to step into your own creative flow this season.
