Unclenched Buttcheeks: My Radical Approach to Business in 2025

Let’s Talk About Unclenched Buttcheeks: A Radical Shift for 2025

If 2024 was the year of hustling, let 2025 be the year of letting go. Literally and metaphorically, it’s time to unclench.

🌈 As I write this from a dimly lit Parisian hotel room at 4 AM, croissant crumbs littering my bed and the lingering scent of decadent, stinky soft cheeses filling the air, I’m making a statement: rest is productive.

Breaking the Chains of Hustle Culture

While many business coaches are pushing their 12 days of Christmas sales, preaching urgency and scarcity, I’m choosing something radical—spaciousness.

Instead of grinding through another marketing blitz, I’m surrendering to the joy of the moment: savoring a Parisian morning, soaking in life, and just being.

Here’s the truth about leadership that rarely gets airtime: rest is not a luxury—it’s a radical act of transformation.

The Power of Unclenching

When we unclench—both physically and metaphorically—we allow ourselves to step into a new kind of power. It’s not about doing more; it’s about being more.

🧘‍♀️ Every moment of rest is a practice in presence
✨ Every breath taken without urgency is a lesson in authentic leadership

These are the foundations of true transformation, for ourselves and for those we lead.

here’s a photo of me, marveling at the pastries.

Why Spacious Communication Matters

When I show up to my DMs rested and unclenched, something profound happens.

💖 My responses come from a place of love, curiosity, and genuine connection—not agenda-driven sales tactics. People feel that difference. They sense the authenticity, the care, the spaciousness.

This is the kind of energy that fosters trust and builds lasting relationships.

Redefining Success: Connection Over Hustle

Success isn’t about how much you hustle or how many metrics you hit. True success lies in moments of connection and presence:

🤲 Creating spaces where people feel truly seen
💫 Giving freely without expectation
👀 Making someone feel understood on a deep level

When we serve from a place of abundance, not depletion, the impact is transformative.

Transforming Fight or Flight

Stepping out of the hustle mentality does more than just give you a break; it rewires your entire approach to work and life.

🌿 It brings a different energy to your work
💡 It unlocks creativity and innovation
🧠 It sharpens your senses and focus
💖 It allows you to lead from a place of fullness and possibility

This shift isn’t about productivity. It’s about presence as a practice.

The Richness of Unclenching

True richness isn’t found in the numbers on a spreadsheet—it’s found in the spaces between:

🌟 The look of relief when someone feels truly understood
💖 The magic of sharing an untold story
🌈 The joy of witnessing someone step into their power

These are the moments that matter, the ones that define a life well-lived.

Where Will You Unclench in 2025?

As we step into 2025, I invite you to reflect:

What does unclenching your buttcheeks look like?
Where can you bring more spaciousness into your life?
How can you redefine success to include more flow and less force?

The magic lies not in doing more but in embracing presence.

Let’s unclench together, one moment of joy and connection at a time.
