Navigating The Void {Ep 164}

Tuesday Talks with Darleen

This video episode focuses on embracing the “in between” phases in business—those quiet, uncertain times that are often misunderstood as wasted or unproductive. I encourage you to see these pauses as crucial breathing spaces necessary for rest, reflection, and deeper clarity. Instead of constantly launching or pushing forward, the business owner should listen to their intuition and the natural rhythms of their business. Key advice includes staying grounded by focusing on simple, mindful actions and being comfortable with uncertainty rather than rushing to force outcomes. The importance of working with coaches and mentors in a way that respects personal timing and intuition is emphasized. Ultimately, this episode encourages embracing not knowing as a valuable space for growth and alignment. Highlights The “in between” periods in business are not wasted time but essential for rest and reflection. Constant launching isn’t necessary; it’s important to listen to your business’s natural rhythm. Quiet seasons allow deep clarity and new ideas to emerge. Maintaining grounding through simple mindful practices helps when clarity is lacking. It’s okay to say no to pressures from coaches or external timelines that don’t fit your flow. Flexibility and openness to change create room for unexpected opportunities. Making peace with uncertainty is a powerful mindset that supports growth and alignment. Key Insights In between phases are productive: Often mistaken for stagnation, these times are crucial for recovery and preparing for future growth, much like breathing in and out. Listening to your business: Success doesn’t come from forcing continual growth but tuning into what your business genuinely needs for sustainability. Selective launching: Limiting launches to a few times a year can increase impact and preserve energy rather than exhausting yourself with constant activity. Grounding techniques matter: Simple actions like mindful breathing, drawing, or doing one manageable task daily help reduce overwhelm and regain clarity. Individualized coaching relationships: The best coaches support your unique timeline and decision-making, rather than imposing rigid plans or deadlines. Managing FOMO and distractions: Reducing time on social media and resisting the urge to chase every new opportunity allows space for authentic insights. Embracing uncertainty: Accepting that you don’t have all the answers opens you up to unexpected possibilities and aligns you with your true business trajectory.
