Ep. 59 - [Alyson Caffrey] The Year-End Reset Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs
Before you set your goals for the new year, there’s one step most women entrepreneurs skip, the reset. In this powerful conversation with systems & maternity leave strategist Alyson Caffrey, we unpack how to pause long enough to reconnect with your vision, your energy, and the woman you want to be in your business.
Together, we explore:
Why “more” isn’t always the answer (especially at year-end)
How to design systems around how you want to feel
What to look for when your business feels heavy or misaligned
How Aly created her most profitable year by simplifying, not scaling
The two questions every entrepreneur should ask before planning next year
This episode is the perfect invitation to slow down, zoom out, and intentionally design a business that supports you, before you decide what you’re chasing next.
Your Accountable Action:
Before you write a single 2026 goal, ask yourself:
1️⃣ Who do I want to be in my business next year?
2️⃣ How do I want to feel as I grow?
Then adjust one system, boundary, or rhythm to support that version of you.
