Turn the Storm Into a Snow Globe – Using the Slow Season to Strengthen Your Business
Mon Feb 02 2026
Winter has a way of forcing us to slow down. In this episode of Getting Real with BOSSY, Kelly Bush and Kelly Metras remind us that “slow” doesn’t mean stuck. It means intentional. It means restoration. It means opportunity.
Inspired by the Danish concept of hygge (cozy, calm, restoration), this conversation invites business owners to take the cold, quiet season and use it to transform chaos into clarity. The storm doesn’t have to control your business. You get to turn it into a snow globe- beautiful, contained, and intentional.
This episode is a powerful reminder that showing up, even when life is messy (or you’ve got nine screws and a plate in your ankle), is what leadership really looks like.
You’ll hear how to:
Cut the waste in your business: subscriptions, unused tools, over-ordering, and overschedulingDeclutter your physical space so your mind can think more clearlyPrepare your business to be “ready to sell,” even if you never plan toKnow your numbers so you can make confident, informed decisionsBuild systems that support you when life throws unexpected stormsDelegate without guilt and trust your teamSet real goals and build daily, weekly, and monthly steps toward themUse the slow season to plan marketing, content, and strategy aheadStep away from social media chaos and lean into email marketing that actually reaches your peopleBuild relationships with business owners who are doing what you want to doStop scrolling, start leading, and become the main character in your business story
This episode isn’t about hustle. It’s about alignment.
It’s about letting go of what no longer serves you.
It’s about decluttering, restoring, and focusing on what truly matters.
