For The Entrepreneurs & Solopreneurs



Breathing Room in Your Business

Dear Reader,

Can we talk about how much it takes to run a business? The actual work is one thing. Then there's the weight of holding everything else: the mental load, the follow-ups, the details, the loose ends, and the constant switching between doing the work, managing the work, and imagining what's next.

For a long time, I've carried most of that myself. And if I'm honest, it's sometimes left me feeling overwhelmed and pretty alone in it all.

A few months ago, I hired a virtual assistant, and it's made a world of difference. He's kind, thoughtful, proactive, and an absolute delight to work with. Things are moving faster, fewer details are slipping through the cracks, and I have the relief of knowing someone is in my corner.

With him taking care of so much of the day-to-day, in-the-weeds work, I have more room to focus on the bigger picture: the vision, alignment, and direction of my business. Less spinning plates. More dreaming, creating, and building what I'm actually here to build.

I'm sharing this partly because he's looking for additional part-time work, and I'd love to help connect him with other entrepreneurs who could use some support in their corner. If you're curious about what that could look like for your business, reach out to my account manager, Hari, at hari.karki@wishup.co. No pressure, just a conversation about what's possible.

And if you're a fact finder like me, you can explore Wishup's services here: https://www.wishup.co.

We're not building businesses just to spend our lives managing an endless stream of tasks. We're building them to bring something sacred into the world. And sometimes the most important thing we can do is let someone help us carry the weight.

With love and holy fire,

The Sacred in the Messy Humaning What if awakening isn’t about transcending our humanity—but becoming more fully alive inside it? We are often taught, subtly or explicitly, that awakening means rising above the messy parts of ourselves. Become less triggered. Release your wounds. Let go of your ego. Find peace. Choose love. All of this holds wisdom. And yet I wonder if, somewhere along the way, we began confusing awakening with escaping the human condition itself. I hold this Ram Dass quote...

I Did Something Terrifying. Here’s How. Dear Reader, For years, there’s been a part of me waiting to come back to life. Songwriting. There’s something vulnerable about returning to a part of myself that has been waiting a long time for my attention. I don’t know exactly what will happen as I open this door. I just know I can’t keep it closed. Somewhere along the way, I realized I’m soul sick without it. Perhaps it’s the uncertainty of putting something you love into a world that doesn’t...

Coming Home To Yourself Learning to love without leaving yourself behind Dear Reader, There is a particular kind of courage in becoming more fully yourself. Not the polished version.Not the version who knows all the right answers.The real one. The one with needs.Desires.Limits.Longings.Edges. And then comes the deeper invitation: Can you bring that self into your high-stakes relationships? This is at the heart of my work. Individuals: we turn toward you. We listen for the places where you've...
