Letting Go of Scarcity, Finding Creative Ease
Success as an entrepreneur isn’t just about what you do. It’s about the deeper beliefs, patterns, and—often—the fears that quietly shape the way you show up in your business.
During Circle Day 2025, Yangu Web Studio founder Marya Nguyen dove into the mental and emotional layers that shape creative businesses. She shared her own experience of untangling the survival-mode habits that she brought into entrepreneurship after a childhood marked by scarcity and financial insecurity. Her deep belief that “money has to be hard-earned to be worth anything,” led to a hustle mentality and a pattern of overcommitting and overdoing in her work.
Marya chose to get clear on her values, get honest about her capacity, and redefine what she wanted her business to feel like. As a result, she raised her rates, started saying no (with love), and created more space in both her professional and personal life.
Through honest reflection and simple journal prompts, this session explores questions like:
What beliefs about money no longer serve me?
What would success feel like in this season?
How can I plan for slow seasons so I can actually enjoy them?
If you’ve ever struggled with setting boundaries, honoring your own capacity, and trusting yourself to do less without losing momentum, this session is for you. Because ease isn’t a luxury; it’s a wise and powerful choice—and you’re allowed to make it.
