From Wheatbags to Wellness

A Journey of Healing and Self-Care

Hello! I'm Kim Stark - an entrepreneur, mindful business coach, tea aficionado, and highly proficient napper. Having experienced burnout, stress, and fatigue after spending decades running my own business, I knew there had to be a better way than the conventional business teachings. 

Over time I discovered that the more I let go of fear, listened to my intuition, and followed my heart, the easier things became. My business naturally flourished by working in alignment and resting my body when needed. It was counterintuitive to everything I'd learnt, but it worked!

After moving to the stunning Northern Rivers and selling my two thriving businesses, "Wheatbags Love" and “The Botanical Store", I felt a profound calling to share my invaluable lessons and stories with like-minded women who shared a burning desire not just to run but wholeheartedly love every aspect of their small businesses.

I wanted to spread the word and shatter the ridiculous cultural myth that you need to work really hard to succeed as a small business.

As a result, the Slow Down & Thrive podcast was born with a mission to assist female business owners in achieving success while prioritising their well-being. I believe that taking time to slow down and cherish life's simple pleasures can significantly impact our overall well-being.

Aside from hosting the podcast, I offer courses and 1:1 coaching to help people cultivate a healthy money mindset and prevent burnout in their business. I firmly believe that success can be achieved while maintaining a harmonious balance in life.

I’ve created a beautiful lifestyle that I’m proud of. When I'm not assisting others, you can find me surfing, dancing, enjoying a beach stroll and patting all the dogs.

Let's work together to create magic

Don't be shy. Say hello! I love hearing your business stories – the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.
