A woman with long brown hair stands with her back to the camera, gazing out at a calm, expansive body of water. She wears a dark sweater, and the scene conveys a sense of quiet reflection. Overlaid on the image in white serif font is the quote: “If something in you is whispering ‘It’s time,’ listen.”

There’s a moment in every woman’s business journey when the familiar rhythm stops...

The strategy that once worked begins to sputter.

The vision still glows—but the path feels murky.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Why isn’t this flowing anymore," then you’re being invited into something deeper.

This is the call to bricolage.

Bricolage isn’t just a clever pivot or a makeshift fix. It’s the intuitive art of building with what’s already here—of weaving together experience, intuition, and resilience into something profoundly new. It’s what women have always done, often invisibly, to transform limitations into creation.

When Business Gets Sticky: The Patterns That Keep Us Spinning

So many of the brilliant, passionate women I coach come to me feeling like they’ve hit a wall they can’t name. They’re stuck in patterns like:

  • Overgiving without receiving enough in return

  • Hiding behind strategy to avoid visibility

  • Repeating what “should” work instead of what’s true

  • Holding onto offerings or structures that no longer feel aligned

These aren’t signs of failure. They’re signals. And when we listen closely, they point us back to the deeper intelligence within.

 

Bricolage as Sacred Strategy

Bricolage isn’t chaos. It’s not throwing spaghetti at the wall. It’s attuning to what’s alive, what’s ready, what’s quietly waiting to be reimagined. It asks:

  • What do I already have that I haven’t fully valued?

  • What truth have I been afraid to say out loud?

  • What pattern am I ready to interrupt—not just in my business, but in myself?

One client, a powerhouse consultant, came to me exhausted and ready to burn it all down. Instead, we laid everything out—her skills, her stories, her unspoken longings—and rebuilt. She didn’t need a rebrand. She needed to remember who she was becoming.

That’s bricolage.

 

A Practice for Your Next “Stuck” Moment

Try this:
Take 15 minutes. No distractions. Grab a blank page and write down everything in your business that feels heavy or out of sync. Then beside each, write what you still love, still trust, or deeply know about that area.

Notice what starts to emerge. You’re not at the end—you’re standing at the threshold of re-creation.
