058: Stepping Off the Merry-Go-Round: My Summer of Renewal with Gillian Whitney
Feeling like you're running on fumes but can't seem to hit the pause button? In this solo episode, I'm getting vulnerable about my summer working vacation – and why I desperately needed one after living in 30+ apartments in three years and livestreaming every single Tuesday for four years straight without a break. Spoiler alert: I was this close to buying a school bus and turning it into a traveling bookstore just to escape the grind! I walk you through my summer of "sharpening the saw" (thank you, Stephen Covey!) including swapping Netflix binges for virtual coffee dates with friends, rediscovering that reading renews me, and doing a massive content audit. Plus, the terrifying story of "losing" all my Scrivener manuscripts and the backup lesson every author needs to hear.
But this episode isn't just about me taking a break. It's about the big decisions that came from that pause: shutting down my Las Vegas LLC, opening Easy Peasy Books LLC in Texas, switching from weekly livestreams to monthly masterclasses, and recommitting to book coaching with fresh intention. If you've been fantasizing about doing something completely different with your business, or if you're running so hard that you can't remember why you started in the first place, this conversation will give you permission to step off the merry-go-round and rediscover your why.
