Going on hiatus.
It's time for Business/Women to take a break.
A New Year update.
First off, Happy New Year! 🎆
I hope you enjoyed a real break from your business and spent engaged time with those who matter most to you. I mean really, it’s why we do what we do, right?
After much thought (and more than one gut check), I’ve decided to spend my time a bit differently as we move into 2026. And part of this shift in my business is putting this newsletter on hiatus for the first quarter (possibly a bit longer).
Nothing dramatic. Just an honest break to focus on different strategies, tactics, and activities.
If you’re a paid subscriber, no worries. I’ve already paused paid subscriptions, so no action is needed on your end.
While I’m on pause, I’ve unlocked a good portion of my Substack archive so you can explore past posts by topic whenever it’s useful.
Just click on the magnifying glass on the top-right of the list of articles to search for an answer to your question.
There’s a lot there on pricing, structure, scaling, and running a business that actually moves the needle and makes sure your business works for your life.
I hope you find it helpful.
Ways to work with me in 2026.
If you’re thinking, “I could actually use help with my business this year,” or you know someone who could, here’s how I’m working with clients right now:
Strategic Advisory Sprints
Short, focused engagements for founders who want clarity, structure, and a real growth plan… fast. We look at the whole business (offers, pricing, capacity, finances, team) and map the right next moves for you to take in the right order to get you unstuck and taking thoughtful (and exciting!) action.Business Model Redesign
A focused reset for when what used to work… doesn’t anymore and scaling beyond where you’re at seems impossible. We rebuild the foundation — your offers, pricing, positioning, delivery, capacity, and team — so the business actually supports the revenue you want and the life you’re trying to live.Ongoing Strategic Advisory
For founders who don’t need another coach cheering from the sidelines, but do want a trusted, senior thinking and accountability partner as they implement, make decisions, and scale their business.
This work is best suited for established service-based businesses that are doing well, but feel stuck, stretched, and unable to generate meaningful, sustainable growth (aka they can’t get to “the next level”).

TL';DR.
I work with established service-based founders through Strategic Advisory Sprints, Business Model Redesigns, and ongoing Strategic Advisory. This is for businesses that are doing well but feel stuck, stretched, or more complicated than they need to be in order to grow. Details here.
In gratitude.
Mostly, I want to say thank you. For reading. For replying. For spending your time here. I don’t take that lightly.
I’ll be back. Just giving things a little breathing room for now.
Thanks for being here… until next time.

#ICYMI
I’ll watch for your return. Wishing you the space to breathe during your hiatus from writing.
Thank you, Katherine, for your invaluable contribution to Substack. I truly can’t wait to read you again. A well deserved shift in energy always shakes things up and opens the door to something new and interesting.
