(And How to Know You're Ready)

Let’s be honest—running a business as a heart-led woman is not for the faint of heart. You’re juggling clients, holding space for others, dreaming big dreams, and trying to figure out how the heck to get Canva to behave so your Instagram posts don’t look like a primary school project.

You’re doing all the things. And you’re doing a great job. But there comes a point when doing everything yourself isn’t a badge of honour anymore, it’s just plain exhausting.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in an endless loop of tweaking your content, second-guessing your copy, or feeling like writing your sales page is harder than climbing a mountain barefoot, you’re not alone. And it might be time to ask yourself: what if I didn’t have to do this all by myself anymore?

That DIY Season of Business

In the early days of business, we’re in DIY mode because, well, we kind of have to be. We’re learning all the things, using new tools, and figuring out what on earth a ‘brand voice’ even means. There’s a certain buzz that comes from learning it all and making it work, even if it’s clunky.

I remember how proud I felt when I made my first Canva lead magnet. Was it wonky? Yes. Did it take me all afternoon? Also yes. But it was mine. And that counts.

Over time though, that excitement can shift. What used to feel like an adventure starts to feel like a chore. You open Canva and instantly feel overwhelmed. You write three versions of a newsletter and still don’t send it. Your website copy sounds… fine, but not you.

Sound familiar?

Signs It’s Time to Delegate Your Creative Tasks

Here’s what I see time and again with the amazing women I work with: coaches, wellness practitioners, service providers, and soulful entrepreneurs:

1. You’re losing hours on tasks that don’t light you up

You sit down to write a blog post and look up three hours later having written two paragraphs and googled “catchy words for spiritual coaches.” That’s not creative—it’s draining.

2. Perfectionism is keeping you stuck

You redo the same social post six times because it doesn’t feel right. You’ve got half-written launch emails sitting in a folder because they don’t sound like you yet. You’ve become the queen of nearly finished content.

3. You’re not showing up the way you want to

You know your content isn’t reflecting who you really are. It doesn’t capture your warmth, your magic, or the transformation you offer. You want to share more—but the words just won’t come.

4. Your business is growing, but your content isn’t

You’ve evolved. Your offers have changed. You’ve got bigger dreams now. But your copy and visuals haven’t caught up. And every time you go to update it, you feel blocked.

“But I Should Be Able to Do This…”

I hear this all the time:
“I should be able to write my own copy.”
“It’s just a Canva post—why is this so hard?”
“It’s quicker to do it myself than to explain it to someone else.”

And I get it. You’re capable. You’re creative. You’ve figured out so much already.

But here’s the thing: just because you can do it doesn’t mean you have to. And honestly, delegating your creative tasks might just be the most powerful next step in your growth.

What You Can Delegate (Without Losing Your Voice)

You might be thinking, “but how do I hand this over and still sound like me?”

That’s where working with the right support makes all the difference. You’re not handing over your voice, you’re letting someone help you amplify it.

Here are a few things you can delegate with love and intention:

Copywriting: Blog posts, email sequences, website copy, and sales pages that sound like you on your best day.
Canva Design: Workbooks, lead magnets, ebooks, Instagram graphics and presentations that feel totally aligned with your brand.
Content Repurposing: Turn your podcast, video, or Instagram Live into a blog post, a carousel, and an email, without spending hours second-guessing yourself.
Website Updates: Because fiddling with WordPress at midnight is not the vibe.

You don’t have to do it all. You were never meant to.

How to Know You’re Ready to Outsource Your Creative Work

Here’s the big question I always ask women when they’re feeling unsure:

Are you spending more time trying to express your ideas than actually sharing them?

If that lands with you… it might be time.

You’re ready if:

You dream of showing up more consistently but content creation feels like a battle.
You want your visuals to look polished and professional but can’t get Canva to cooperate.
You’re clear on your offers but stuck on how to talk about them in a way that feels true.

Start Small—See the Shift

You don’t have to outsource everything at once. In fact, I suggest dipping your toe in:

Choose one task that’s making you want to throw your laptop out the window.
Find someone whose style and energy feels aligned with yours.
Be open to collaboration—it’s a two-way street.
Notice how you feel. That lightness? That space? That’s the magic of aligned support.

What You Gain When You Let Go

Delegating isn’t just about saving time—though that’s lovely too. It’s about stepping more fully into your role as the visionary of your business.

When you’re not bogged down in “shoulds” and “how-tos,” you get to be creative. You get to show up. You get to rest, plan, dream, and breathe.

I know how important your voice is to you and your brand. My job is to recreate that.

And the best part? You’re still in charge. You’re still the heart and soul of your brand. You’re just not doing it all alone anymore.

You’re Not Behind—You’re Evolving

If you’ve been waiting for permission to stop doing it all yourself, this is it.

You’ve built something beautiful. Now let it grow with a little support behind the scenes.

Because your ideas? They’re too powerful to be stuck in draft mode forever. And your time? It’s too precious to be spent endlessly wrestling with fonts and file formats.

Let yourself receive. Let yourself be supported. And let’s create something beautiful—together.
