In this solo episode of Birthing the New, I share a guided somatic practice for those moments when you feel exasperated, depleted, or on the brink of giving up — particularly as an experienced business owner navigating a year that hasn’t unfolded the way you expected.

Rather than rushing to burn everything down, this practice invites you to slow down, come into your body, and sit with the part of you that wants to quit — not to override her, but to listen. Often, this urge isn’t asking you to abandon your vision, but to release a way of showing up that is no longer sustainable.

This episode is especially resonant as we close out a challenging year and stand on the edge of what’s next.

This episode is for you if —

You need to hear that the desire to quit is not inherently wrong — and can actually be a compass

You know you’re in a “soil work” season of your business rather than a visible growth phase

Deep down you know you don’t actually want to quit, but you know something needs to change
