I had planned to do a big book launch… but I chose to rest instead

On why I chose to sack off the big journal launch I had planned and chose to rest and recharge my batteries instead. And how I couldn't be happier that I did!

Hi there, I’m Selina, a Career and Life Design Coach, author and podcaster. I’ve been helping people design lives and careers they love for almost two decades…and now I can’t wait to help you!

When I’m not writing here on Substack, I’m creating new journals and coaching clients all over the world, from my little green office in South East London.

The Time to Thrive journal is finally out in the world 🥳 and I am so proud of it.

BUT…

…instead of doing the big, buzzy launch, that I had planned to do, I did something radical instead: I chose to rest.

And in this week’s Pep-Talk (back after an unscheduled three week break), I share:

  • Why I paused instead of launching full-throttle

  • What this taught me about capacity, overachievement, and my relationship with marketing

  • Why resting might be the most powerful launch move I could make

If you’ve ever pushed through when your body said rest, or felt like you “should” do something a certain way, this one’s for you.

And you can grab your own Time to Thrive journal here!

P.S. Big shout out to

and who helped me to see that choosing rest was the most powerful thing I could do
