Spaciousness Is a Practice, Not a Perk

When we say we want spaciousness in our business, it’s often framed as a future reward, something we get after we’ve "caught up," hit a revenue goal, or reached some imagined place of balance. But spaciousness doesn’t come after success.
It’s a condition we need to create now, if we want our work to be grounded, sustainable, and magnetic.
Spaciousness is not passive. It’s not about waiting for life to ease up so we can finally take a breath. It’s something we must choose, protect, and return to, often many times a day.
And yet, this is precisely why so many people struggle with it. As one reader shared with me: "Spaciousness is what I’m looking for, but the more I try to reach it, the further away it feels."
That feeling is real. And it’s often because we’re taught to see space as a luxury, not a practice.
So let’s flip that. Let’s treat spaciousness not as the outcome of success, but as the foundation of it.
Here’s what that makes possible:
When you practice spaciousness, you return to yourself, not your to-do list.
From that place, you remember why your work matters, and who it’s for.
That reconnects you with your mission, which makes your marketing more natural, more generous, and more effective.
Spaciousness is what allows us to do work that matters. Without it, we default to noise and pressure. With it, we return to clarity, calm, and alignment.
You don’t have to carve out hours. Even a few consistent touchpoints each day can make a meaningful difference.
Because this isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing from a different place.
A place of presence, not pressure. A place of mission, not metrics. A place of service, not scrambling.
Spaciousness doesn’t just support your strategy, it is a strategy.
And it’s available to you, all day, every day.
