Knowing When to Pause and Making Space for What Matters Most (The Podcast will be Back Late Spring 2027)

As you may know, I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and have started chemotherapy.

‍

I've decided to approach the coming months as my Radical Wellbeing Retreat – a time to focus on my health, wellbeing and recovery, while continuing to do the work I love, supporting my clients and helping them grow their businesses.

‍

But after my first two rounds of chemotherapy, I've realised that if I want to give my best to my clients and look after myself properly, I need to make more space for rest, exercise, eating well and simply listening to what my body needs.

‍

And that means making some choices about where I put my time and energy.

‍

So, for the next six months or so, I've decided to pause new episodes of The Art of Value Whispering Podcast and my live webinars.

‍

It's not an easy decision because I love both so much. But I've always believed that we should build businesses that support our lives, rather than the other way around. And what we need from our businesses changes at different stages of life.

‍

Right now, it's time for me to take my own advice.

‍

The good news is that there's still plenty for you to explore while I'm away!

‍

Here are three things I'd love to encourage you to do.

‍

1. Keep listening, and enjoy the new Audio Retreats

There are now more than 300 episodes of The Art of Value Whispering Podcast, packed with practical ideas, expert insights and inspiration to help you grow your business through smarter, not louder marketing.

‍

We've covered everything from finding your ideal clients and communicating your value to networking, pricing, confidence, content creation and so much more.

‍

And to make it easier for you to find the episodes most relevant to you, I'm putting together a series of Audio Retreats.

‍

Each retreat brings together around five carefully selected episodes on a particular topic, so you can step away from the marketing noise, explore an area of your business and come away with ideas you can put into practice.

‍

I'll share these as they're ready, so make sure you're on my email list to hear about them.

‍

You'll also be among the first to know when the podcast and live webinars return.

‍

2. Watch my free marketing webinar replay

Although I won't be hosting live webinars for a while, I've made my latest webinar available for you to watch whenever it suits you.

It's been wonderful to hear how much this session has changed the way people think and feel about marketing.

We explore why marketing often feels harder than it should, how to give yourself permission to market your business your way, and why you may already know far more about attracting your dream clients than you realise.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed by all the things you think you should be doing to market your business, I think you'll find this particularly valuable.

3. Come and celebrate with me at ATOMICON 2027!

One of the things I'm really looking forward to is attending ATOMICON in Manchester in July 2027, after my treatment is expected to finish.

‍

If you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you'll know that ATOMICON has been a wonderful sponsor and supporter of my work.

‍

It's also one of the friendliest and most valuable small business marketing conferences I've attended.

‍

What I particularly love is that the experience starts long before the event itself, with online networking, masterminds and opportunities to meet other attendees.

‍

And you get access to recordings of the talks for a full year afterwards, so you can enjoy the event without worrying about missing anything.

‍

For me, next year's event is going to be a real celebration, and I'd absolutely love to see you there!

‍

Until we meet again...

Finally, I want to say a heartfelt thank you for all the wonderful messages, encouragement and kindness I've received since sharing my diagnosis.

It's meant so much to me.

‍

I'm incredibly grateful to have built a business and community that can support me through this season of life.

‍

And while there are difficult days, I'm learning to make the most of the good ones, give myself permission to rest and focus on what matters most.

I hope you'll take a little of that message into your own business too.

‍

Sometimes doing less isn't about giving up. It's about creating the space to give your best to what matters most.

‍

I'll look forward to being back with you in spring or early summer 2027.

‍

In the meantime, please keep listening, learning and sharing your favourite episodes. And if something particularly resonates with you, do connect with me on LinkedIn and tell me about it. I'd love to hear from you.

‍

Thank you for being part of this wonderful community.

‍

And remember, you don't need to shout louder to stand out. You need to resonate deeper with the right people.
