From Depleted to Restored: Which Type of Rest Do You Need Most? Artwork

Small Business Casual: Content Marketing, Productivity, Customer Experience for Entrepreneurs & Creators

Welcome to Small Business Casual, where we focus on designing a sustainable, cozy, and thriving business tailored to your LIFE. Not the other way around!

Here, small business meets your favorite pair of slippers. It's a little quirky, not too buttoned up, one less accessory, ahhh… just right.

From customer service, business productivity, and content marketing to making sense-of-the-behind the scenes, chaos, I walk alongside you as we make life and business less of a roller coaster ride and more like a walk in the park (with snacks, of course!).

I offer Small Business Copywriting & Content Marketing Consulting to interior designers, home trade professionals, service providers, coaches, consultants, non-profits, and entrepreneurs with a big mission!

Feeling tired? Drained? Run-down? Exhausted?

Insert your adjective of choice here, and buckle up as we get into the seven reasons WHY your tank might be empty.

I get into Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith's 7 Types of Rest, why they're so important as business owners, and simple ways to incorporate them into your workday and life.

The goal is to help you move from depleted to restored by listening to what YOU need most.

Inside the episode:

Why you might still feel tired even after getting a good night's sleep
Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith's 7 Types of Rest: Emotional, Mental, Spiritual, Social, Physical, Sensory, and Creative
How to incorporate rest into your everyday in simple but meaningful ways
And more!
