The Balanced Fem
How I Built The Balanced Fem While Honoring My Nervous System
There’s a lot of noise in the online world about building fast, scaling big, or pushing through discomfort as a badge of honor. The truth is, The Balanced Fem didn’t come to life through constant grind—it was built in sacred pauses, long walks, breakdowns, spiritual downloads, and intuitive timing. It was built while honoring my nervous system. I didn’t start this company with a business plan from an MBA program. I started it with clarity from lived experience and slowly remembering the truth of who I am—a woman with a real mission, who could no longer sacrifice her peace to make a living.
Reclaiming the Pace
In my journey with The Balanced Fem, I learned that true momentum comes from inspired action—not from forcing productivity, but from tuning in and moving when something feels genuinely aligned.
Here’s how I practice this:
- Pause before acting: I take a few deep breaths and check in with my body before committing to any task or opportunity.
- Notice energy shifts: Excitement, expansion, or a gentle “pull” signals a yes. Heaviness, tension, or dread signals a no. I honor both.
- Set intentions, not rigid plans: Each week, I set intentions based on how I want to feel and what feels most alive—not just what’s on a to-do list.
- Let my nervous system lead: If my body asks for rest, I honor it. If inspiration strikes, I move. I stopped making slow seasons wrong.
Mapping My Business with Astrology
Astrology is at the core of how I designed both the structure and rhythm of my business. I use it to align my decisions with divine timing, ensuring my actions are energetically supported.
Step 1: Business Launch
- Astrological Insight: Chose a date with supportive transits
- Action Taken: Launched during a New Moon for fresh beginnings
Step 2: Offer Creation
- Astrological Insight: Tuned into Venus/Jupiter cycles
- Action Taken: Released offerings when energy favored abundance/connection
Step 3: Planning & Rest
- Astrological Insight: Followed lunar phases & retrogrades
- Action Taken: Scheduled launches for waxing moons, rest for retrogrades
Step 4: Personal Alignment
- Astrological Insight: Checked natal chart for key transits
- Action Taken: Made decisions during favorable aspects to Sun/Moon
Why Astrology Matters for My Pace
- Energetic alignment: I flow with cosmic cycles rather than push against them.
- Permission to rest: Retrogrades and waning moons are built-in times for reflection, not hustle.
- Clarity and confidence: Knowing the “why” behind my timing gives me peace and a sense of partnership with spirit.
I officially created The Balanced Fem, LLC in 2022 while still in corporate. Listening to my spirit and the astrology prepared me to leave that old identity for good. This method keeps you ready—so when the time comes, you’re not struggling to get ready.
