About this episode
When you pour your heart into your business, it’s easy for the lines between you and your work to blur. In this episode of Soulful Strategies™, Kathleen Amy offers a gentle reflection on what happens when your identity becomes intertwined with your business, and how to reclaim the space to simply be yourself again.
Through grounded wisdom and personal storytelling, Kathleen shares the importance of separating your self-worth from business outcomes. You’ll hear how over-identifying with your work can quietly drain your creativity, and how creating healthy distance can open clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose.
This episode is an invitation to remember that your business is a vessel for your visionm not the definition of your value. By honouring your own rhythm, rest, and wholeness, you can allow both yourself and your business to grow more sustainably and soulfully.
