In the healing and wellness space, we’re already taught to care for the nervous system (and often times, were teaching others to do this too), but when it comes to our own businesses, we often forget to slow down and zoom out.

In this week’s episode of the Traveling Wellnesspreneur podcast, I spoke with the brilliant Mado Hesselink, host of The Yoga Teacher Resource podcast, all about why big picture thinking is essential for retreat leaders, coaches, and wellness entrepreneurs who want to scale without burnout.

Mado explains how our nervous systems are wired to focus on urgency, not wisdom, and why this keeps us reacting, spinning, and chasing tasks… instead of leading with vision.

One of the biggest takeaways?


A quadrant exercise she uses with clients to help them map their offers based on ease vs. impact, and what happens when you re-align based on those insights.

It’s the kind of clarity that creates spaciousness, not just success.

If this is what you’re looking for, Inside the Rise & Thrive Mastermind, this is the kind of work we do together:
✔️ Zooming out
✔️ Clarifying priorities
✔️ Designing a schedule and scaling the business that actually supports your energy and goals

If you’re stuck in the grind and craving more simplicity, more meaning, and more freedom, this episode is a must-listen.
