Business Planning with Chronic Illness: A Sustainable Approach
If you’ve ever bought a planner with big hopes—only to abandon it after a few weeks (or months) when your health shifted—this episode is for you. Jessica shares how she reimagined business planning through a gentle, garden-inspired approach that honors energy variability, not rigid timelines. It’s a beautifully sustainable alternative to traditional planning, crafted for chronic illness entrepreneurs who are tired of feeling behind.
💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why traditional planning methods often fail entrepreneurs with chronic illness
How to apply a garden-inspired approach to business planning
The power of flexible objectives instead of rigid SMART goals
How to track your energy and wins using a two-planner system
A practical way to design monthly sprints that support your body, not fight it
✍️ Gentle Reflection Prompt
Ready to cultivate a new approach to business planning?Try this: Create a “Garden Dream Page” with three columns:
How I Want to Feel
What Drains Me
What Energizes Me
Just observe. No pressure to fix—just notice the patterns your body is already showing you.
Your planner shouldn’t be a weapon of shame—it should be a mirror of what matters most to you and a map that adjusts as your seasons shift.
