Maybe you’re a massive introvert, shy, or considered an HSP, a highly sensitive person, or maybe you feel like you’ve never really fit into what and who the standard online business coaching says you need to be in your business. Does any of this sound familiar? I’m raising my hand as a founding member of that club. Welcome fellow misfit. Hey there. I’m Marta Goertzen, host of the Doing Business Gently podcast. If your business feels hard and nowhere near gentle, I’m glad you are here. This is a safe place where we will be talking about: ** Life business integration, and we approach that idea of integration through creating an aligned business that fits you, your values and priorities, your personality, and the current season of life you are currently in. ** We also do that by talking about finding business clarity so that you’re not constantly second guessing every decision…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-25T18:22:52.377520+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-gentle-business-rebellion-online-business-work-from-rest-midlife-christian-women-aligned-business-6419519"},"episode":{"title":"99 | Why Rest, Not Strategy, Is the Right First Step in a Business Pivot","slug":"start-your-business-pivot-with-rest-not-strategy-ep-99","published_at":"2026-04-23T08:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-gentle-business-rebellion-online-business-work-from-rest-midlife-christian-women-aligned-business-6419519/start-your-business-pivot-with-rest-not-strategy-ep-99","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-gentle-business-rebellion-online-business-work-from-rest-midlife-christian-women-aligned-business-6419519","url":"https://selahstudiosco.podbean.com/e/start-your-business-pivot-with-rest-not-strategy-ep-99/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/dpwpmbwtci2i55p9/Start-Your-Business-Pivot-with-Rest-Not-Strategy-EP-99.mp3","summary":"If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what your next step in business should be, the answer might not be another strategy… it might be that you need to start with rest. In this episode, we explore why rest is not a reward after the work is done, but the starting point for any meaningful, sustainable business pivot. Especially in seasons of transition, caregiving, or feelings of burnout, rest becomes the foundation for clarity, direction, and alignment. Instead of adding more noise, more ideas, or more pressure, I’m inviting you to slow down, create space, and reconnect with your own voice so you can move forward in a way that actually fits your life. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why rest is essential before making any business decisions How constant noise and information overload keep you stuck Simple ways to create mental, emotional, and spiritual space What “toxic hustle” looks like and how to recognize it How finding your own pace leads to clarity and sustainable growth EPISODE RESOURCES: Mini Retreat Guides: https://selahpress.com/miniretreats/ Gentle Business Mastermind: https://gentlebusinessmastermind.com Contact Marta: https://selahstudios.co","meta_description":"If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what your next step in business should be, the answer might not be another strategy… it might be that you…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1029,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-gentle-business-rebellion-online-business-work-from-rest-midlife-christian-women-aligned-business-6419519/episodes/start-your-business-pivot-with-rest-not-strategy-ep-99/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-gentle-business-rebellion-online-business-work-from-rest-midlife-christian-women-aligned-business-6419519/start-your-business-pivot-with-rest-not-strategy-ep-99.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
