Your best year starts with rest, not a planner.
Introducing
January Planuary
A gentle, rest-led planning experience for midlife, faith-driven women
entrepreneurs who are tired of rushing into another year that doesn’t fit.
You are not behind. You never were.
There is nothing magical about January 1st.
And yet, every year, the pressure tells us otherwise.
We’re told that if our goals aren’t set, our plans aren’t mapped, and our energy isn’t perfectly aligned by the time the calendar flips, we’re already behind. That it’s time to push, finish strong, and hit the ground running.
BUT… here’s the truth: You are not behind.
This is your business.
Your life.
Your energy.
Your health.
Your family.
Your season of life.
You get to choose when you plan. You get to decide the pace. You get to decide what kind of year you’re building.
January Planuary exists to give you permission to start differently.
Instead of rushing into another year from pressure and exhaustion, this experience invites you to slow down, rest first, and create space for clarity. So you can move forward with intention, not urgency.
Is this you?
- You feel the pressure every January to have everything figured out, but past plans haven’t lasted.
- You’re tired of goal-setting that looks good on paper but doesn’t feel connected in real life.
- You hear the noise telling you to push harder, start faster, and do more, and it’s wearing you down.
- You’re craving clarity, peace, and direction, not another rushed, disconnected plan.
If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone.
You’re exactly who January Planuary was created for.
What is January Planuary?
It’s is a 4-week, live, retreat-style planning experience designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and create a clear, aligned path forward. Without the pressure to have everything figured out.
Rather than forcing an in depth, inflexible, or unrealistic 12-month plan. Instead you’ll be guided to:
- Start with rest
- Reconnect with what truly matters
- Discern what you and your season requires
- Create a grounded plan for the next 90 days
- And if you are ready, an outline for the year
You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and connected next steps. NOT a rigid plan you’ll abandon by February.
Hi, I’m Marta
I’m Marta Goertzen, founder of Selah Studios and creator of The Gentle Business Rebellion. I create safe, supportive spaces for thoughtful, introverted women to pause, reflect, and realign their business without pressure, pushy tactics, or constant hustle.
January Planuary was born out of my own frustration.
It’s become an important part of my own gentle business rebellion.
For years, I created plans that looked solid, but didn’t last. Not because I lacked discipline or strategy, but because I was planning from pressure instead of connection. I was rushing to “hit the ground running” instead of giving myself space to listen, reflect, and rest.
Every December, I felt the same cycle repeat: finish strong, do all.the.things., and then immediately start planning for the new year. All to often at the expense of my energy, health, and clarity.
Eventually, I realized something had to change.
Now I approach the new year with a gentle and restorative approach that is rooted in rest, clarity, and faith.
How it Works
January Planuary unfolds over four weeks, each focused on a simple but powerful rhythm:
Week 1: Pause
We begin by slowing down. You’ll step out of urgency and create space to breathe, listen, and rest.
Week 2: Reflect
You’ll look back with compassion and name what worked, what didn’t, and what you’ve learned.
Week 3: Create
From clarity (not pressure), you’ll begin shaping a vision and priorities that actually fit this season.
Week 4: Grow
You’ll translate insight into gentle momentum. Leaving with a clear, grounded plan for your next 90-days.
Each week includes:
- A live Zoom call (teaching + gentle coaching, mini‑retreat style)
- Audio training delivered via a private podcast
- A guided workbook experience
- Community support inside our private (off Facebook) community
You’ll also be introduced to Business Meetings With God and Lectio Divina for Business, reflective practices woven throughout the experience.
What You’ll Walk Away With
- A calm, grounded start to the year
- Permission to plan at your own pace
- Renewed confidence in your discernment and decisions
- A loose outline for the year ahead
- A clear, aligned plan for your next 90-days
- Relief from the pressure to have the whole year figured out at the start of a new year
