You Don’t Need Another Productivity Hack.

You Need a Nervous System Reset.

You’re building a business from the ground up — making every decision, wearing every hat, and holding more than anyone sees. This free 5-day challenge gives you simple, science-backed tools to reclaim your energy, calm your stress response, and complete the stress cycle — one micro-habit at a time.

What You’ll Get
(& Why It Matters for Your Business + Your Sanity)

  • 5-Minute Daily Reflection Prompts

    Short, guided prompts to help you process, reset, and reconnect with what matters — between meetings, client deliverables, and a hundred open tabs.

    Even 2 minutes of reflection can reduce emotional reactivity and improve mental clarity. (Journal of Behavior Therapy, 2021)

    Because recovery isn’t a reward — it’s a requirement.

  • Micro-Practices Grounded in Burnout Science

    Each day, you’ll get a 10-minute, research-backed habit designed to help your body shift out of fight-or-flight and into calm, grounded clarity.

    These aren’t mindset hacks. They’re real tools drawn from neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and stress recovery research — built for solopreneurs juggling everything solo.

    Lower cortisol. Boost focus. Feel anchored — even when your day is chaos.

  • Supportive Check-Ins by Email

    Each daily message delivers science, strategy, and grounded encouragement — no overwhelm, no extra homework.

    You’ll learn how to complete the stress cycle and send your body a clear message:

    “You’re safe now. You can let go.”

A Glimpse of What’s Possible

This 5-day challenge is your starting point — the first deep breath in a more grounded, sustainable rhythm. But it’s just the beginning.

The full ThriveCycle: Solopreneur Edition includes:

Monthly Science-Backed Themes

Each month focuses on a research-backed strategy to regulate your nervous system, protect your energy, and reduce decision fatigue — so you can show up with clarity and follow-through.

Access to the AIMs Platform

Track your habits, reflect in real time, and stay accountable — without needing another app or overengineered system. Just simple tools that help you stay consistent and grounded.

Live Cohort Sessions with Other Solopreneurs

Facilitated small-group sessions with other founders navigating the solo hustle. You’ll get structure, strategy, and support from people who get what it’s like to build something from scratch.

You’ll feel a shift after 5 days.
But the real transformation happens when you keep going — habit by habit, one grounded day at a time.

This Is for You If…

You’re a solo business owner trying to stay steady while managing all of it.

You’ve ever thought:
“I’m doing everything — and still feel stuck in a fog.”
“My brain is fried but I keep pushing.”
“I just need one thing that helps me feel like myself again.”

This isn’t about grinding harder.
It’s about regulating your nervous system so you can move through your day with more intention and less internal chaos.

What You'll Practice Over 5 Days

Real practices. Real breath. Real change.

Each day, you’ll receive a powerful, easy-to-implement email with one micro-practice rooted in nervous system science.

  • Use the 3-4-5 breath to transition between “creator mode” and “client mode” — and break the stress spiral in 2 minutes or less.

  • Design a micro-ritual to ground your body — even if it’s just 3 minutes between Slack and sales calls.

  • Label your emotions in real time to regulate your state and reduce mental overload.

  • Set one gentle boundary that gives your nervous system space to recover — without guilt.

  • Pause to notice what’s shifted — and glimpse what long-term resilience could feel like.

Why It Matters

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken.

It means you’ve been in survival mode for too long — with too little replenishment.
This challenge helps you complete the stress cycle so your nervous system can reset.

You don’t need to do more.
You need to recover — on purpose, and often.
