If I did business like everyone else, I would have quit by now šŸ« 

Iā€™ve recently made some transformative changes in my business and life, and I want to share how I've created a structure that not only allows my business to thrive but also deeply nourishes me.

Prefer to listen?

I share more in detail in episode 11 on The Worthy Podcast here on Spotify & here of Apple.

I just returned from a month-long summer in Europe with my family (photos below ā˜€ļøšŸ‘™ā›±ļøšŸš), fully present and enjoying every moment with my little man (Rui is 2.5 years old & I really really LOVE this age!). During this time, I launched my newest live mastermind, Alchemy, and sold it out even before boarding the planeā€”without a sales page, just by letting things flow. It was a calm, slow-paced launch, and it just felt so right. 


Iā€™m here to show you how to balance showing up for your business & clients while giving yourself permission to rest and just be. This is a loving reminder that honouring the cycles of your business and yourself as a woman is essential to a sustainable, fulfilling life.

As a multi-passionate 4/1 Mani Gen, my superpower lies in skipping steps, bending time, and creating magic in everything I do. But Iā€™m also a woman who honours her cycles of creation and rest. For years, I pushed through burnout, driven by a belief that I had to do it all. This led to frustration and misalignment in the work I was doing. It took me 8 years to realise that my business wasnā€™t the problemā€”it was my approach.

Now, after a decade in business and a journey of deep healing, Iā€™ve found a way to nourish myself and my work. I share all of this in my new book, The Alchemy Blueprint: How to Live a Joyful Life as an Entrepreneur Without Sacrificing Your Soul. 

Hi, Iā€™m Chani (pronounced like ā€œAnnieā€ but with a ā€œShhā€ at the front). My super power is energetically guiding you to see your inherent gifts & capabilities - then supporting you to expand your vision while you take action on your most satisfying, aligned dream business & life.

The issue was, for a long time (the first 8 years in business) I would ignore the feelings of burnout & push through when I became bored or complete with said creation because I thought I was failing if I didnā€™t see it through to the end or continue to make it bigger & better, beyond what I had managed to achieve.

Iā€™d then enter a pattern of starting to see my business as ā€œthe problemā€, instead of my approach. I had limiting beliefs around not having enough time to do it all leading to overwhelm of how much was on my plate. My story was ā€œIā€™m doing a million things at onceā€ but my people pleaser in me would continue to say yes to things I really needed to say no to. It was a perpetual cycle leading me to deep frustration - my not self theme as an MG. This was me in total misalignment to my potential šŸ„²

Now, I have a grounded, safe & settled energy that prioritises MY desires & nourishment, that leads me to vibrating in a frequency of freedom & joy daily.

This is what Iā€™ll continue modelling for you & continuously invite you to claim šŸ¤

Here's a hint of what Iā€™ve discovered:

  • Plan 6 adventures a yearā€”one every two months.

  • Say no to anything that isnā€™t a full-body yes.

  • Move on guilt-free when you feel complete with a project.

  • Create more white space in your calendar.

  • Prioritise rest, restoration, and regular self-care.

  • Make your business actions feel good and relaxing, not forced.

The short version? I now operate from a place of alignment, focusing on what feels nourishing and fulfilling.

This shift has allowed me to show up with grounded energy, attracting clients and results that align with my values.

My invitation to you is to get crystal clear on how your business needs to look and feel to be truly worth it for you.

How can you nourish yourself and your business so that youā€™re thriving, not just surviving?

If you resonate with the idea of achieving high-level results with a sense of softness and balance, I invite you to:
