Am I feeling empty or full? ??

The inhale, we decided to close down Coupleness the outhaul something new was born. We were not ready—still, tons to do for couples.

The full circle of entrepreneurship

Closing down a business takes time and effort (here you can read more about our whys to fold); sometimes, for the past months, I felt I’m the last woman standing when I instead want to focus on what’s to come. But something in me wants to finish gracefully, and I take pride in that. It’s also a learning journey. I know the full circle of entrepreneurship. At least, the not-flashy one ??

Now there’s not much left to deal with the liquidation. Most things are done; it’s time for a break.?

Not having the answer

All yogis heard about the pauses in respiration called “kumbhaka” from Sanskrit; kumbhaka means suspension or retention of breath. A hold or release of breath where we find respite. A pause where we might feel full or feel empty ????♀?

I’m on my way, transitioning with a four-week vacation with my family, returning to consultancy work, and our new tool for couples that we will MVP. Coupleness is not part of my holiday for the first time in years. Now it’s just the merch that tags along. No support cases, no media requests on how to avoid divorce after summer vacation ???

Asking myself, do I feel full or empty? Right now, I do not have the answer.

I miss the traction

What I know, though, is that I’m excited about what we are to build. I talked to Peter Viksten the other day and asked him what he looks forward to after summer.

Going live and getting feedback from our users was his answer. I echo Peter and add that I miss the pace and traction that is so fun when building a company.

Pause and listen to your body

To all of you who are not liquidating a company but instead taking some weeks off for the summer vacation with your family and friends ??

How do you feel when you pause? Do you feel empty or full??

There may be clues on what to focus on on your vacation and after if you pause and listen to your body ??
