We’ve been having so many beautiful conversations behind the scenes these past few weeks about The Slow Mastermind, so we decided to record an entire podcast episode on them. In this week’s episode we’re answering: What types of women are joining the next cohort of Slow (aka who am I going to be circling up with if I join)? Why is Slow open to all stages of business (aka will I be wasting my time if there’s people on the call not at the same stage as me)? What is circular leadership and why do you prioritise it (aka how am I going to be supported in this space)? Is Slow more about mindset and lifestyle (aka will I get results in my business)? Why is there so much mindset and nervous system support included (aka is this really necessary to grow my business)? Why are you only in Slack 3 days a week (aka how much support will I actually receive)? What is the time commitment (aka I’m already swamped, how will this fit into my life/business)?

Last year we wrote a post that really resonated with a lot of our community about one of the biggest myths we are seeing in the coaching industry; That if you want your business to grow you need to be able to work at the pace of {insert 7 figure business coach here} and if you can’t do that naturally, you’ll need to put yourself in spaces where you can have your ‘butt-kicked’ into action. ⁠ ⁠While action IS a requirement of growth, HOW you feel in that action is what’ll determine how sustainable your momentum (and therefore growth) is. ⁠ In this episode Sam unpacks: Why we need to stop assuming that but kicking energy is the most supportive way to receive coaching Why psychological safety within ourselves and our coaching relationships is the most important component of accountability How to know what kind of accountability works best for you If you know that you actually need a space where you receive gentle accountability? A space where strategy AND embodiment are woven together to support your whole self throughout the journey of business growth we’d love to invite you to apply for The Slow Mastermind.Take a seat at the ‘Slow’ table HERE: https://theslowmastermind.com/ Come say hi & share your takeaways HERE: https://www.instagram.com/theslowmastermind/ Subscribe, rate, and review as we embark on this journey together and start a slow revolution.
