Episode 153: Why I Closed the Doors to the Cleansing Circle
This is a little behind-the-scenes for you. 💜
About a year ago, I made a quiet, hard decision I've never really talked about publicly. I closed the doors to the Cleansing Circle.
The Cleansing Circle was something I'd offered for more than a decade. Something women loved. Something that, quite frankly, sold itself.
In this episode, you'll find out why.
My decision to close those doors turned into something bigger than a business story. It became a story about what it takes to let go of something good to make room for something better, in business and in your own life.
In this episode, I share:
- Why the hardest things to walk away from are the ones that are still working.
- What I was doing from my car in the early days, and how far this journey has come.
- Why cleansing is still vital, and why, on its own, it's no longer enough.
- The behind-the-scenes of choosing integrity over the easy yes.
- What "supporting your terrain as a way of life" actually looks like.
- The one question to ask about anything in your life that's working but might be ready to evolve.
By the end of the episode, I think you'll be looking at something in your own life a little differently.
And to every woman who cleansed alongside me over the years, I want you to know how deeply GRATEFUL I am to you. For trusting me, for showing up, for sharing your experiences and for being part of something that grew into SO much more than I ever imagined. YOU helped make the Cleansing Circle what it is today. And I will never take that for granted. 💜
You are Fiercely Awakening.
