What do yellow roses đđš have to do with a business uplevel?
My work schedule this summer has been disjointed, to say the least.
As I write this, my kids have been out of school for five and a half weeksâand there have been a whopping 6 days when theyâve both been at camp. (Some planned vacations, some sick blips.)
At the same time, my business and I are in a moment of major uplevel and expansion.
Family time = yes.
Work growth = yes.
But the tension between the two? Very real.
Last week, I was trying to figure out how to hold it all when the next step became clear:
Go buy some yellow roses.
I know. Not your typical business strategy. But this isnât a typical business. (Spoiler: yours isn't, either.)
The left corner of my desk is one of the most visible spots in the house. You see it every time someone walks up the stairs or glances up from the living room. Thatâs where the roses are nowâright in the sightlineâprompting a smile and a reminder.
Let me back up.
I was chatting with my business on the way home from camp drop-off (yes, really) and asked, âWhat would feel supportive right now? Whatâs the next move as we step into this next phaseâone where Iâm walking my talk around energy, leadership, and visibility?â
The answer:
This uplevel calls for more solar plexus support.
The solar plexus chakra is the seat of power, identity, confidence, and action. Its color? Yellow.
So when I found myself in Safeway restocking on Jello, pudding, and chicken noodle soup for a sick kiddo⌠I added the yellow roses to my cart. A visual commitment to this energetic upgrade.
Every time I see them, I remember:
⨠Weâre doing this.
⨠I donât have to force it.
⨠My business will show me the way.
As I work through the strategic components, prepare for some exciting announcements (stay tuned!), meet with my mastermind group, and support my clients, I'm also holding space for the energetic support and flow.
Because hereâs what I know:
Working with the energy of your business is the most effective way to get clear on your next chapterâand make it happen.
Every time I do this work, I feel stronger.
Every time a client does, they feel greater freedom, peace, and relief.
The business begins to flow again.
So if your business has felt a little âtightâ lately...
If youâve been less excited to show up for it...
If something feels off but you canât quite name it...
It might be time to connect back with the wisdom of your business.
You donât need to blow it all up.
You donât need a 27-step funnel. (My word.)
You just need to hear what your business is trying to tell you.
Here are two ways to start:
⨠Book a Reiki for the Spirit of Your Business session
Weâll listen in together, uncover whatâs really going on, and energetically reset your business to support the leader youâre becoming.
âReiki for the Spirit of My Business was so refreshing! Iâm feeling lighter and have greater love for this business and everything it does for our clients, our team and my family. Itâs been a wonderful shift.â

Want something you can do right now, before we even get on a call?
Try this:
Light a candle
Take a breath
Ask your business out loud, âWhat do you want me to know today?â
Then journal what you hear
The answers are closer than you think.
And theyâre probably more beautiful than you expect.
