Uprooting: How to Stop Spinning & Grow Roots

What Uprooting Really Is

“Uprooting is always starting a new chapter, but never really establishing yourself within it. Despite your compulsion to keep moving forward, you end up feeling more stuck than ever.” — Brianna Wiest


In uprooting, you never allow yourself to fully blossom— You're only comfortable sprouting: multiple offers, endless “shiny object syndrome,” overhauling your site again instead of launching it, chasing new opportunities without deepening existing ones. It feels exciting… until it’s exhausting.

Why This Pattern Keeps You From Growing

  • You don’t know your end game — No destination = no direction. It’s like going on a road trip with no map.

  • Your nervous system craves predictability — Chaos feels creative briefly, but over time it triggers stress and anxiety.

  • You stay in feast-or-famine cycles — Launches followed by droughts. Hustle, burnout, collapse. Repeat.

Rootedness: What Sustainable Business Growth Looks Like

To stop uprooting, you need structure, focus, and boundaries. A business that isn’t always on the verge of collapse but steadily growing. Key traits:

  • Doing one thing really well, then repeating it until it's refined.

  • Choosing clarity over chaos: having a clear goal, clear offers, clear direction.

  • Honoring your rhythm — acting from rest, checking in with your body, not just chasing ideas.

How to End Uprooting & Start Rooting

Try these steps to move from constant sprouting to grounded growth:

  1. Define your north-star goal
    What is the one overarching outcome you want in your business (or life)? Use that to say no to the rest.

  2. Audit what you already have
    Which offers, clients, or habits are ripe? Which ones are draining energy without payoff?

  3. Pick one core thing
    Maybe one signature offer. One marketing channel. One way of showing up. Do that until it’s baked in.

  4. Set boundaries around newness
    Limit how often you start new things. Let your nervous system settle. Anchor in predictability.

  5. Check in with your body
    I know that sounds woo, but somatic wisdom is powerful. Is this idea lighting you up or draining you?

What Happens When You Decide to Root

  • You stop burning out.

  • Your energy doesn’t constantly feel scattered.

  • You're more consistent, your message becomes clearer, and people start recognizing you for something.

  • You build something sustainable — one that doesn’t require non-stop launching or reinventing.
