I waited before emailing you… and here’s why

I said I’d be back in your inbox yesterday with the next Me-Time Nest session date — and here we are, one day late 🫣

But the truth is... I chose to wait.
Because I wanted to be absolutely sure before confirming anything — not just for scheduling, but for something deeper.

You see, I created the Nest as a place for creative souls to slow down — but I’m still learning to do that myself. This long weekend in Canada blurred the days (as they do), and honestly? I lost track of time in the best way. I paused. I took a breath. I let things unfold a little more gently.

And I waited to hear back from Desiree, one of the most generous humans who’s been part of the Nest since the very beginning. I wanted to know when she could return — because this space is for her… and for you.

Here’s what she said after attending her first session:

"I had such a great time! It was great to meet Katherine as well! I love the opportunity to connect with others in this online space. We deal with each other so much through email and bundles, social media, etc, that it was lovely to connect virtually. I'm already looking forward to the next time! You never know when you'll get your next great idea."

And that’s exactly it.

The Nest isn’t a productivity hack. It’s a gentle interruption in a world that asks us to constantly produce, perform, and push through.

When you feel emptiness creeping in, the Nest is here to help refill your creative cup!

Not as a means to an end — but as something sacred, joyful, and entirely your own.

🪺 Upcoming Me-Time Nest Sessions

📅 This Wednesday morning, May 21 from 9:30 to 10h30 AM EST

📅 Friday Afternoon, May 30 from 2 to 3 PM EST

Both sessions are free, low-pressure, and gently guided.
Just bring yourself and whatever creative activity that brings you joy (diamond painting anyone?)

If you're ready to make space for yourself and your creativity:
​

Everyone who joins a May session becomes a Founding Member, complete with a sweet digital badge — because showing up for yourself deserves to be seen.

​

​

Oh — and while I’m not quite ready to share all the details yet… I’ll just say this:
🌱 Some very special things are quietly cooking in the background.​
I’m dreaming up a place where creative souls feel not only supported, but nurtured as well. I want to make the Nest even more meaningful, engaging, and sustainable — not just for me, but for everyone who joins. It’s still taking shape, but if you’re here early… you’ll be part of something truly special.

​

If this project isn’t for you — no worries at all.

Thanks for being patient with this email. I may have missed a day…
But I never lost sight of why I’m building this!

I hope I’ll see you in the Nest soon — it’s a space for hearts like yours.

​

Thanks for being part of my world,

Stéphanie

P.S. If you ever feel drained by the task of constantly emailing your list because stepping away from your business would mean losing the hard-earned momentum you gained (and the income that comes with it), I highly recommend a new training from someone I admire: Sabbatical Power Emails by Faith Lee.

P.P.S. Maybe you’re carving out Me-Time and still trying to figure out how to turn all your digital ideas into actual income. 💸

NOTE: I'm moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot "bad experiences" regarding my site, your members' area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!
