106 | What a Gentle Business Actually Looks Like (feat. Kim Steadman & Shelby DellaRosa)

In this special conversation, I’m sitting down with two members of the Gentle Business Mastermind, Shelby DellaRosa and Kim Steadman, to talk honestly about what building a gentle business actually looks and feels like from the inside.

Shelby is a coach and mentor for women who have walked through caregiving and loss and are figuring out what comes next. Kim is an inspirational author and writer coach who helps other authors get true to their why. Together, they bring candor, humor, and hard-won wisdom to a conversation about voice, boundaries, focus, and the freedom that comes when you stop trying to be everything to everyone.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

What "a gentle business" means to each of them, and why that definition matters more than any strategy

How setting boundaries around who you market to, where you show up, and whose voices you let in has changed their businesses

Why narrowing your focus is a mental health decision as much as a business one

How caregiving seasons, health challenges, and major life transitions shaped the businesses they're building today

The role of community in keeping you on track, off the comparison treadmill, and connected to your own voice

Why rest is not the opposite of growth... it's what makes growth sustainable
