True Business
A Tale of Two Businesses
What happens to business when you align with Source, Divine Intelligence?
We had a beautiful opening circle for The Divine Plan, and with it the quietly exciting launch of this True Business School, for creatives with heart who want to do business differently.
This month our focus is Divine Inspiration. What business will you create with Divine Inspiration? My experience has been a business in harmony with your True Nature and the Earth. A business that nourishes and brings peace, deep fulfilment and prosperity for ALL. A whole world away from the traditional business I built.
Business without heart and Inspiration
In a traditional business, without heart and inspiration, I was BUSY on trains, planes and in a different office each week as a global communications and PR director. I loved orchestrating, producing, achieving, believing I was making a difference. This hooked perfectly into my need to feel important. It also whipped me up into an over-stimulated frenzy with accompanying anxiety and the painful emptiness of withdrawal when I slowed down.
Business with heart and inspiration
In my True Business (led by heart and inspiration) my true nature as a pioneer is forefront. My office is outside in the warm, natural beauty of the Caribbean, my business attire a mismatched bikini. As I immerse deeper into my purpose of connection, creativity and community we are birthing a new way of being in business. There is flow and freedom. It can be exhilarating. Mostly it is calm with a healthy sense of curiosity. I’m still a little stunned business can be like this.

Blue Mind Medicine for your Business
With all the ups and downs and uncertainty it’s easy to have emotional overwhelm, emotional spikes. And then decision making, focus, creating our business goes skewiff!
Blue Mind Medicine, time out with water, can help reset our nervous system so we can make decisions and create from a calm, connected, serene space.
Wallace J Nichols in his book Blue Mind provides research, stories and evidence explaining why we are happier, healthier and more connected by water. The blue, red, grey mind concept is a simple way of understanding the contribution of water to our mental health.
Blue Mind – calm, connected, serene, space for grace and inspiration, able to receive
Red Mind – action, decision making, anxiety, pushing, city
Grey Mind – burnt out, disillusioned, indifferent, depressed
Where are you right now?
The antidote to Red and Grey is BLUE – get to the Water.
Where is the nearest water body you can be with or get in?
If there isn’t one, visualise being under a waterfall cleansing any negativity, anything you no longer need away. Take a long bath with epsom salts, stand under your shower for a little bit longer and breathe.
I’m so grateful to the shade of the sea grape tree, dozing whilst listening to the waves and the peace.
Bring your nervous system, your focus, back to your calm, core centre, back to your heart and inspiration to create your business from here, from Source.
Much love, until next week. x x
PS You can listen to the True Business Podcast with Wallace J Nichols for some more Blue Mind inspiration for your business too.
What do you need to be prosperous in Business?
What opportunity is Life offering you during this global transformation?
As I stop, take a breath, listen, Life is inviting me to surrender more deeply, to be in the present moment, moment by moment. Let go of expectations, attachments to outcome, control, rushing and panicking and thinking I know how anything will play out.
We’ve been spending time at sunset watering the vegetable garden, watching for whales, listening to the Peace, watching a rare blood red sun set into the turquoise Caribbean Sea.
Life may be inviting you into new skills and learning? Perhaps it’s your time to paint, write, explore a new idea, be with your family. Perhaps it is to serve others? Perhaps it is simply to survive?
Rise up to meet it.
Let yourself be free to ride the wave of Life exactly as you are called.
Do let me know what opportunity Life is opening to you, beyond the fears?
Much love,

Listen to your heart – 3 minute beauty blast
Come with me on a walk – 3 minutes of beauty
And listen to your heart.
When you listen to your heart in business you take a very different path.
A business that leads with your creative spirit, honours your heart and is in harmony with the Earth. A business with connection, compassion and kindness.
My productivity this week has gone out the window. Overwhelm, anxiety and scattered thinking.
My egoic mind wanted to push through, write my book, now you’ve got the time!
My heart invited me to go on a beach walk.
A walk into beauty, calming my mind, soothing my soul.
Returning grounded, peaceful, present.
Come with me into these little blasts of beauty.
Listen to your heart.
What does your heart want to share with you?
This week’s wisdom from the Sea.

Are you serving your True Audience?
We all have an audience held within your heart that your purpose, gifts, message, offering will effortlessly, naturally serve to thrive. This brings deep fulfilment. A win-win.
Are you serving yours?
When we don’t we can be drained and depleted. Perhaps you are chasing the money, who you believe to be the budget holders, decision makers, easy pickings?
We can feel stuck, void of inspiration and creative flow. As clients dry up, we begin to lose confidence, even doubt our purpose and value.
When I was creating True Business I assumed logically that the audience would be entrepreneurs, it’s about business afterall! The inspiration dried up, I stopped writing, became disinterested.
And then, whilst interviewing for a new tenant a creative couple showed up. The man had had a successful career in music, a four album deal with one of the biggest record labels. Whilst the band made money for the record company the band members themselves hadn’t. He felt in a constant battle for creative integrity. He was now a graphic designer. His partner a bright, creative woman was an illustrator working for an artisan coffee company as an account manager.
As we spoke, I experienced an urgency to complete the book, to make True Business widely available for creative people to thrive in business. This was a light bulb moment. ‘This is my audience!’ It makes complete sense that a business model leading with your creative spirit would serve creative people, but my logical mind hadn’t yet made that leap.
In this moment, I realised that I don’t like entrepreneurs. I’d come to personally define entrepreneurs as a masculine approach to business, making profit at any cost, lacking in emotional intelligence, empathy for others, with zero thought for our earth.
What a relief to let go of the entrepreneur and allow the energy and inspiration to flow in service to the creatives, pioneers, artists, trailblazers, healers and teachers who care.
Do you love and care about the audience you are working with? Or do they drain and deplete you? If so, who is your love and attention naturally drawn to? This is a great indicator of your true audience.
Stop for a moment. Ask: Who in your heart are you truly here to serve? Listen to your Heart. It already knows.
This week’s wisdom from the Sea.

Is your business in harmony with Nature? With your natural cycles?
Are you in harmony with the natural cycles of Nature, with your natural rhythms, or do you fight against Nature? Push yourself when you know you actually need to rest and rejuvenate?
True Business reveres Nature – it is sacred, inspiration, power.
The Water Lily has inspired me to close my business at dusk, to rest, to rejuvenate. I can have a bad habit of picking up work in the evening to finish off, send that invoice, edit that chapter. Watching the Lily close reminded me to go to the beach, walk, swim and close for the evening to rest.
This week…
.1. Schedule in time to be with Nature, to receive inspiration and flow.
.2. Close your business at dusk with the setting sun and the Water Lily.
.3. During your day notice the environment around you. Give your thanks to the plants, trees, flowers. 💕🙏🏻💕
