Ep. 63 Why Your Summer Slowdown Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed (and How to Reset for September)

If your summer felt slow, you’re not alone. Many birthworkers experience a summer slump — enquiries dip, classes don’t fill, clients go quiet, and social media engagement drops. It can feel like you’ve lost momentum or even failed… but the truth is, this is simply the rhythm of birthwork.In this episode, I’m catching you up with a quick life update, before diving into: ✨ Why the summer slump is normal (and not a sign your business is broken) ✨ How to create stability by paying yourself consistently, even when income dips ✨ Why September has that “mini new year” energy — and how to harness it without burning out ✨ The one-thing rule for rebuilding momentum gently and sustainably ✨ My brand-new 4-Month Planning Framework — designed to help you set goals, reflect, and take action in a way that actually works for birthworkersThis is your invitation to reset, refocus, and set yourself up for the rest of the year — without the overwhelm.💡 I’d love to hear from you: after listening, DM me on Instagram @preg_and_postnatal_collective and tell me your one focus for the next 4 months.Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode:Join the waitlist for The NEST Programme (my 6-month small group coaching for birthworkers) Follow me on Instagram for more free resources → @preg_and_postnatal_collectiveBrilliant at the work.
