Holding the Center:
A Winter Stewardship Practice
In this 90-minute workshop, we'll gather in the space between urgency and rest — between the pressure to begin again and the wisdom to slow down. Drawing from my own rebrand journey in 2025, I’ll share insights and practices to support your brand stewardship in 2026.
At the beginning of 2025, I wrote a question on a sticky note and placed it on my desktop: What would it look like if success was easy?
The truth is, I didn’t know. But I knew one thing for certain: for my business to feel good again, I needed radical pruning. I needed to step back, simplify, and make space for what truly mattered.
From March 2025 until now, I've been pruning, building new systems, bringing in support and taking a posture of stewardship to my vision. It hasn’t been tidy or easy, and some days, downright messy. Through it all, one insight has become my anchor: the answers to the questions “Why am I doing this?” and “Where am I going?” are what guide everything else.
When you can connect to your why and your vision in a grounded, embodied way, all the rest (the actions, the plans, the “next steps”) can be built from that foundation. Without that, everything else feels scattered or overwhelming.
This workshop is my way of sharing what I’ve learned, so you can:
Prune what no longer serves you or your brand.
Focus on what matters most.
Connect to the pulse behind your vision
Make plans from a place of clarity and energy
Think of it as a guided pause to reflect, reset, and plan 2026 in a way that actually feels aligned.
