When your business feels like coming home

Last week, Michael and I watched as our newly minted bike riders pedaled from my parents’ house to the market I used to walk to as a kid—where I spent far too much babysitting money on diet raspberry Snapple.

We took the kids on a tour of my old high school and introduced them to the magic of Connecticut diners—complete with too-big-to-finish Oreo milkshakes.

We went for hand-churned ice cream at the same shop I visited on a preschool field trip. We fed ducks, checked on the beehives, watched a rubber duck race, jumped in pools, and got absolutely drenched dancing at a free outdoor concert with one of my oldest friends and her entire extended family.

Some evenings, I walked along the water to wave at my favorite lighthouse and trade long voice memos with a dear friend across the country.

And—I still tended to my business.

Business calls on Tuesday. Messaging review and newsletter drafting on Wednesday afternoon. Early morning fine-tuning on Thursday.

Not out of obligation, but out of alignment. Because it felt nourishing and exciting and fun. Because it was designed to.

When your business is truly built to support you, it doesn’t pull you out of your life—it enriches it.

When you learn how to collaborate with your business, it stops feeling like a grind—and starts feeling like coming home.

You get more done, yes—but you also feel more you as you do it.

So here’s what I’m inviting you to ask:

💭 What kind of energy do you want to build your business with?
💭 Who are you becoming—and how can your business help you grow into that version of yourself?

You don’t need the full five-year plan. But you do need to listen.
And if you want support hearing what your business is ready to tell you?
