Grow Your Business Faster By Slowing Down with Ruth Poundwhite

June 22, 20252 min read

Have you ever considered that taking a step back might just be the secret to pushing your business forward? Ruth Poundwhite, a soulful sales and mindset coach, dived into this fascinating concept. Contrary to common belief, resting does not stunt momentum; it could actually be the booster your business needs.

Why Rest Matters

In today’s fast-paced world, constant activity is often mistaken for productivity. Many entrepreneurs find it hard to hit pause, fearing that rest equals falling behind. Society has ingrained in us that busy is better, and our value is tied to our output. Ruth highlights this challenge, showing that unchecked ambition can lead to burnout and fatigue, ultimately stalling progress.

What You'll Learn from Ruth

Ruth at the Art of Rest Retreat, sheds light on how overworking can be a hidden defense against vulnerability and self-doubt. She reveals the subtle signs that your drive might be fear masking itself as ambition. Beyond that, Ruth invites you to explore the profound benefits of rest, offering an opportunity to embrace your creativity and connect more deeply with your clients. Whether you’re a chronic overachiever or a mindful entrepreneur, Ruth’s insights will encourage you to rethink the very foundation of productivity.

A New Way to Think About Rest

Imagine a business model inspired by nature. Like the cyclical growth and rest inherent to all living things, Ruth offers a fresh perspective: our creativity flourishes not in spite of but because of periods of rest. This approach encourages adopting small, manageable changes, incorporating personal pauses, reflecting on comfort zones, and gradually learning to trust rest as integral to innovation and growth.

MEET THE AUTHOR,
STEPH BLAKE

For years, I poured everything into building my business and raising my family—until I realized I lost a part of myself in the process.

I used to be deeply creative, finding joy in designing, making, and exploring new ideas.

But as life got busier, that creativity took a backseat to client work, to-do lists, and the daily demands of running a business and being a mom.

One day, I decided to slowly start creating again—just for myself.

I explored new hobbies to get a quick dopamine hit for my ADHD brain with no expectations or pressure. And everything changed.

Tapping back into creativity became a form of self-care, a reset button, and a way to feel connected to myself!

Now, through Create & Escape™, I help others rediscover that same creative freedom!
