Hello, my loves. Welcome back to the Wanderlover Podcast! We just had another amazing coaching call inside the Wanderlover Coaching Group where we talked all about strategy and sales for the next quarter and next year.
This time we talked about what is working in our businesses and what isn’t, with many members saying they currently feel a little stuck with the strategies they’ve been following so far. By the end of the call, all members walked away with clarity and confidence, knowing exactly what to work on next.
What’s crazy is so many people in my community and so many of my friends personally, have started new chapters this year, myself included. As many of you know, I became a mother this year, I moved to Brazil, and I signed a one-year lease for the first time in ten years.
This new chapter of stability and motherhood has just been so rewarding. Many of you have also entered new chapters and are feeling the shifts. Sometimes this looks like confusion, sometimes uncertainty. What got you here won’t get you there. Today’s episode is a reminder, and maybe the sign you’ve been waiting for, that it’s okay to do things differently: differently than everyone else, and differently than how you’ve always done them.
Whether you’ve recently moved somewhere new, entered a new chapter of marriage or motherhood (like myself), or simply feel a shift happening in your life, this episode is for you. By the end, you’ll walk away with clarity and confidence as well.
Step One: Recognize the Shift
Have you ever felt like your old routines, habits, or strategies, maybe even your friend group, just don’t feel right anymore? Maybe your environment has changed, or your priorities have shifted. This can be external or internal. Sometimes nothing changed at all except you. Maybe you’ve just grown so much that the way you used to operate no longer fits this new version of you.
This can be extremely confusing because you’re trying to stay afloat and figure out who you are in this new chapter. You might wake up and just feel off, like you’re doing all the right things you’ve always done, but somehow it’s just not clicking. I personally have felt this in content creation: the content you’re creating doesn’t light you up anymore. It doesn’t excite you. The offers you’re selling don’t feel exciting, or the schedule you created once for yourself feels restrictive.
I want you to know that this is not a bad thing. It’s a sign of growth, and it’s so necessary to make room for the next level of yourself. When your life changes and when you change, your business, home, and relationships must evolve too. Recognize the shift and understand that bigger and better things are about to come.
If you can relate to this, know that when you feel friction, it’s not failure, it’s feedback. It’s the universe, your intuition, or your higher self telling you it’s time for an upgrade. Most people ignore that feeling, especially if they aren’t entrepreneurs. They keep pushing forward using the same approach, trying to force things to work the way they used to. But what got you here won’t get you there, and so you need to change. If you’re entering a new chapter, your strategy needs to reflect it.
A Personal Example of Change
Personally, after becoming a mother (you can read about my birth story as an American In Brazil here), if you look at my camera roll, I swear I have tens of thousands of photos and videos of my son. Right after he was born, I was so excited, and it was all-consuming. If you have kids, you know that after your first, your whole life changes, and you become obsessed with this little human you created with your best friend.
For me, I was so excited to share, and then over time, I recognized that I didn’t want my feed to only be about my child. He is my life, and you can look through my camera roll and see that for yourself. But going forward, I don’t feel aligned sharing so much about him or being a content creator around motherhood, even though motherhood is so important to me. That’s where the first misalignment started.
So I stepped back. I told myself I was changing my strategy, and I made space for the answers to come. I knew what I didn’t want to do anymore. For years, all I shared was my life, business, travels, and relationship, so it only felt natural that my son would also be featured. But when something is all-consuming like motherhood, it’s hard to bring back those other buckets. I knew things had to change. I went through this myself and created a completely new strategy for this last quarter and for next year.
How to Do Things Differently with Intention
I want to share with you exactly how to intentionally pivot, to do things differently and with purpose.
1. Audit Your Current Systems
Ask yourself: What parts of your business or daily life inspire you, and what parts drain you? What now feels heavy, outdated, or no longer front and center in your life? Sometimes it’s a process, a platform, a product, or even an industry. Reassess what gives you energy and what drains it. Be honest and don’t hold back, because the sooner you’re clear on what you want and don’t want, the faster you’ll get your answers.
2. Redefine Success in This New Chapter
It’s completely normal to evolve and become new versions of yourself. Looking back over the past ten years of my life, I’ve lived what feels like ten different lives. You may be chasing goals that no longer fit who you are. Maybe your version of success used to be hustle, scale, and money, but now it’s balance, joy, and sustainability. Update your vision, and don’t be scared that it’s changed. You can always come back to it. The most important thing is to align yourself with what’s working right now.
In this new chapter, I would love to help more women and entrepreneurs scale their online businesses and build freedom-based passive income streams that allow them to spend time with family, travel more, or work from anywhere. Of course, I’ll still share about my life, but I don’t want my content to only be about my son.
In the Wanderlover Coaching Group, we talked about how we sometimes get into a content flow that doesn’t feel aligned. Now it’s time to sell more, make more money, and step into that next-level version of ourselves. It can be scary. The thought of making so much money can be intimidating because it requires a new version of yourself. But it’s also exciting because you haven’t done it before. Remember: what got you here won’t get you there.
3. Simplify
When you feel stuck or uncertain, the answer is to do less, but do it better. Focus on the needle-moving actions that align with your long-term goals. This is why community and mentors are so important, to guide you toward what matters most right now. You can’t see the picture when you’re inside the frame, so if you feel stuck doing the same things, ask for help. Learn new things to get new results.
4. Take Messy, Imperfect Action
Nothing changes if you don’t take different actions. Sometimes breakthroughs happen when you finally make the decision you’ve been avoiding. Whether it’s changing your offer, adjusting your pricing, hiring help, scaling, or saying no to something that no longer fits, give yourself permission to act and to find new ways of doing things.
When I decided I didn’t want my son front and center in my content, my first thought was: “But how is that possible? I have tens of thousands of photos and videos of him, I have nothing else to post!” That was such a limiting belief. I was defaulting to what was comfortable. But there are always new strategies and new ways of doing things. You just have to learn from people who are doing what you want to do. You don’t have to know exactly how. Once you know what you want, the how will reveal itself.
Embracing Growth and Alignment
You might already see on my account that a shift is coming. I’m going to be doing less, but impacting so much more. Remember, every time you evolve, your external world will feel uncomfortable for a bit because your reality is catching up to your growth. You’re becoming bigger and better when you choose to do things differently with intention, rather than from resistance.
Doing things differently, taking a step back, and allowing a new phase of trial and error means you’ve outgrown an old version of yourself, and that’s powerful. Take this as your sign to pivot, to streamline, to align, and to grow into the next version of you in business and in life.
