The Art of the Empty Room: Why We Are Closing the Creator Suite

There is a particular phenomenon that happens when you move into a new house. You spend weeks obsessing over the floor plan. You mentally place every sofa, every bookshelf, every lamp. You assign a specific purpose to every single square inch of the blueprint because you are terrified of wasted space.

In our culture, empty space is viewed with suspicion. An empty diary means you aren’t in demand. An empty room means you ran out of budget. An empty shelf means you have nothing to sell.

But as I have settled into the new Digital Content Studio this week, walking the virtual halls of this website we have built from the ground up, I have come to a realisation that has surprised even me.

I have found a room that doesn't fit.

It was a room I had carried over from the old blueprints without really thinking. It was the "membership" room. The space we called The Creator Suite.

For years, that suite was a core part of my identity. It was the engine room. It was the place where I felt I had to show up, offering endless content, prompts, and "hustle" fuel to keep everyone moving. But as I stood in the doorway of that room in this new, calm, intentional house, I realised something profound.

The furniture didn’t match. The vibe was wrong. It felt heavy.

And so, rather than forcing it to fit—rather than dragging the old, heavy velvet sofa of 'content creation' into this bright, airy sanctuary of strategy—I have made a decision.

I am closing the door.

The Courage to Sit in the Unknown

We are saying goodbye to The Creator Suite. And here is the part that might terrify the traditional business gurus: I don’t have the replacement ready to launch yet.

In the world of online business, the 'Pivot' is supposed to be instantaneous. Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi.

But this new website was built on a foundation of intentional business growth. And intentionality cannot be rushed.

If I were to immediately swap The Creator Suite for a shiny new membership with a different name but the same underlying energy, I wouldn’t be changing anything. I would just be rearranging the deckchairs.

So, for the first time in a long time, there is a 'Void' in the business model.

The Problem with the 'Creator' Treadmill
And I can hear you now thinking: Why this drastic change? Why not just tweak it?
It comes back to that word I mentioned in my move-in note: Blueprint.

The blueprint of the old house was designed around volume. It was designed for the era of the "Content Creator," where success was measured by how much noise you could make. The Creator Suite was designed to support that noise. It was a factory for output.

But the blueprint of this new house is designed around resonance.

I looked at what that membership required—the constant churning of prompts, the pressure to "feed the beast"—and I realised it was creating the very burnout I am trying to cure. It was a room dedicated to the hustle.

To achieve true, intentional business growth, we have to be willing to prune the branches that are no longer bearing fruit, even if they still look green. We have to be willing to stop doing things that "work" on paper, because they no longer work for our souls.

What Grows from the Silence?
This period we are entering now—this 'In-Between'—is what I like to call the Fertile Void. It is the winter of the business cycle. To the outside observer, the fields are bare. But underneath the soil, the roots are deepening.

By choosing not to rush into a replacement, I am giving myself (and this brand) the permission to listen.

A Return to the Original Blueprint
In this quiet, I have started looking at the old plans again.

In truth, there is a name that keeps coming back to me: The Studio Suite.

It isn't entirely new. We have toyed with it in the past—putting it on draft documents, and even within the PLR membership in the past, and then discarding it for something that sounded more 'current' like The Creator Suite. We never let it stick because, perhaps, we weren't ready to own the weight of it.

We weren't ready to be a Studio (authoritative, strategic, lasting); we were still caught up in the race of being Creators.

But in the quiet of this empty room, I suspect that The Studio Suite might have been the truth all along.

The Kettle is Still On

So, what does this mean for you right now?

It means the membership wing of the house is closed for renovation. The dust sheets are down. I am still moving the furniture around, deciding what stays and what goes.

If you were a member of the old suite, thank you. It served its purpose. But we are walking away from the noise and towards the signal.

One thing I can promise you is that when we do finally unlock that door again, it will be because we have built something worth stepping into—and we hope you might join us on our new journey!

Until then, I’ll be in the study, sketching out ideas, drinking tea, and enjoying the peace and quiet of a house that finally feels like it’s settling down.

Here is to the brave art of closing doors, even before you know exactly when the next one will open.

With my very best,

Jane x
