EP34 - Slow Growth, Big Vision

In this episode of Rebel With a Strategy, we’re ditching the “grow fast or fail” myth and talking about the beauty (and power) of slow, intentional growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind because you’re not hitting six figures in six months or going viral overnight — this one’s for you. I’m diving into why fast growth isn’t always better, what slow growth really looks like, and how to actually stay grounded when it feels like everyone else is sprinting. I’ll share: - The hidden pitfalls of chasing fast results (burnout, shaky systems, regret — yep, I’ve been there). - What sustainable growth really looks like for creative business women. - Why clarity, sustainability, and trust are the cornerstones of the long game. - My own story of slow growth as a coach, creative, and mum. ✨ Action for you: Journal on these 3 prompts this week — - What’s my actual 6–12 month goal (not the one I think I should have)? - Where can I slow down to go deeper? - What’s one way I can measure growth beyond money this month?
