Friends, SHIFT Your Business is postponed due to low enrollment. Stay tuned on the mailing list to hear about another iteration, and to share feedback if you’d like so I can shape this into a program that will meet the needs of more folks!

With gratitude for your grace, canceling is a first for me. Big sigh. And yet, I know business is full of pivots.

Always learning,

Jess

SHIFT is here so you and your business can thrive (and survive)!

So that you might also listen to the nudge of your nervous system and capacity, trauma-inform your offerings to better care for your clients and customers, and keep showing up for you AND your business at the same time. All through a group of kindred and awesome small business folks! And me, your trusty guide. 

Imagine being supported by:

🗒️ Weekly co-working (9 sessions of checking in, connecting, and working together or solo - each month we’ll have one week off for rest)

🖇️ Twice monthly coaching calls (bring your questions and/or bring your marketing and materials to be reviewed - we can co-process together and you’ll receive individualized guidance in the places you feel stumped or stuck)

😌 Gentle Dreaming gathering to help you get in touch with your goals, intentions and dreams - and for us to connect, too (replay, of course! introverts welcome, of course!)

📱 The opportunity to connect and network with your peers, if you’d like (no social media chat channel, just the chance to share contact info and explore deeper connections if it feels right)

📂 Plus, access to the trauma-informed business pillars (if you’re like: “what even is trauma-informed business?!”, the embodied quarterly planning documents (that you can use every quarter, forever and ever), and more

My hope is you’ll experience:

💞 Community, connection and support for you and your trauma-informed business, because you don’t need to do it alone

🤓 Focused time to check things off your list, whether that’s updating a service page or tending to your self-care

🍵 A container that holds, cheerleads, and gives you the space and confidence you need to do your good work. Feel supported, feel inspired, feel seen.

💼 Guidance, best practices and skill-sharing— from trauma-informed ethos to behind the scenes business skills; leave with wisdom and nuts and bolts you can use right away (and then forever)!

Want to have a successful second quarter? Not just financially, but for your nervous system, too?

You’re invited to to join us!

For these 12 weeks, I’ll be here every step of the way, offering trauma-informed support and guidance for you and your business. We can talk sales funnels and scope of practice, ConvertKit and consent. We can share the highs and lows and be held in them. And when you join, you’ll be in a container with other trauma-informed folks.

💭 Imagine the connections you might make

💭 Imagine the projects you might bring to life

💭 Imagine how your nervous system might feel with consistent support and spaceholding

Are you ready for a quarter of deep and steady support for your small business? But also you need more details before you say yes? Makes so much sense — here you go!

When is this happening?

TBD, this program is postponed!

“Jess held a very thoughtful and respectful space and encouraged everyone to adapt and do what feels good. I have some range of motion limitations so I always appreciate when that is acknowledged and/or adaptions are provided. I learned some good techniques for grounding and being gentle with myself. “

“ I have been a facilitator for years but it wasn’t until recently that I realized some of the terminology and the ways I was approaching things were getting under my own skin. If my job is to provide a safe and supportive space for others I knew I had to educate myself. This program fell into my lap at the perfect time and I was absolutely dumbfounded at how simple and transformative the practices within the program were. I loved that I could take the course at my own pace so when I was ready to digest more there were deeper levels for me to dive into.”

A FEW FAQS

    Want exact dates? Sure thing!

  • Your gut knows better than me, but if you’re on the fence and you’re also: a small business owner, striving to be trauma-informed, wanting some support in how to be trauma-informed in a way that works for you and feels doable, wanting not to feel alone in your struggles, wanting to celebrate and be celebrated, and/or wanting to learn more trauma-informed business skills (consensual marketing, how to honor your own nervous system, being more adaptable and accessible) . . . it’s probably a good fit!

  • I hope you’ll get what you need!

    If you desire it, you might find:

    Support, connection and community from our group gatherings and other biz buds who get it.

    An immersion in trauma-informed business skills, including behind the scenes nuts and bolts and client-centered care.

    Individual and specific support for the places you feel stumbly and stuck (our coaching calls are a great place to show up for this!).

    Practices to support you in struggles from vulnerability hangovers to algorithm agony to gloom and doom business days.

    The reminder that your nervous system exists. An acknowledgment of capitalism and other systems we live within. Cheerleading without spiritual bypassing.

  • Your goals and intentions are yours alone, but/and I am here to hold trauma-informed space for you and your business; support you in your projects, dreams and fumbling; and provide guidance along the way. We’ll be exploring trauma-informed business, from the foundational pillars to emergent themes on your heart and mind. This will happen through our coaching calls, co-working sessions, and the gentle dreaming call.

  • Per the digital and immediate nature of this offering, there are no refunds. That said, please be in touch if you need accommodations, support, or something isn’t feeling right. I’m here.

  • I imagine this will ebb and flow from week to week and call to call. That said, there is space for about 30 folks to join SHIFT Your Business Quarterly so our live gatherings will hopefully feel abundant but not overwhelming (hi introverts! you are so very welcome here).

  • Sure thing. Be in touch via e-mail, and we can chat in a no pressure way!

A note on showing up, transparency and . . animals?! Yep.

I have the world’s cutest dog and he will be on calls. He’ll have a long romp before calls so he’ll probably snooze. It’s just .. if he tries to eat the futon (or the cat, jk he just wants to play with her), I might need a moment to redirect him. [P.S. Are you worried about showing up with something it doesn’t feel like you can show up with? Messy house? Barking dogs? A toddler running around or babe at your chest? Anxiety to be in a zoom group? You can show up just as you are, too! Let’s do it together.]

Ahhhh! 😌 Okay yes, this is the vibe. Humans in business. Wanna join? You know where to do that. Have questions? Feel free to be in touch. I’m always happy to chat things through in a no-pressure way.

Looking forward to gathering with y’all,

Jess
