Contraction in business? Listen to this

Flow State Business

Let’s get real for a moment—sometimes business doesn’t feel like it’s flowing. Instead, it feels tight, restricted, like no matter what you do, progress isn’t happening the way you imagined. If you're in that space right now, know that it's not just you.

In today’s episode we're diving into the concept of contraction in business. It's that phase where the energy feels stuck, launches don’t go as planned, and growth feels like it's on pause. It can be frustrating, but here's what I’ve learned—these moments of contraction are actually a crucial part of the growth cycle.

Contraction gives us the space to realign, refine, and prepare for the next level. So if you’re feeling like nothing is moving forward, this episode is going to help you see that this phase is temporary and necessary for your expansion. I’ll walk you through how to handle these periods, how to reconnect with your vision, and how to come out the other side stronger and more aligned than ever.
