Episode Description

If you're a small business owner wearing too many hats, working into the night, and starting to resent your clients: Welcome to burnout territory. This episode is for you. 

Here's what makes this conversation about burnout different than others you've heard: I'm not going to tell you to slow down or do less. I'm here to help you figure out which season of business you're in, and whether the over-work you're experiencing is intentional or quietly breaking you. 

I understand entrepreneur burnout. Not in a clinical way, but in a "One time I literally hopped to a business meeting on one foot after pulling an all-nighter because I refused to stop working" kind of way. My take is, for entrepreneurs, having work-life balance isn't about not working hard; it's about being intentional about when you push and when you don't.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • The 3 seasons entrepreneurs cycle through: push, sustain, and ride
  • Why solopreneur burnout doesn't always look like a physical collapse (it looks like dreading your inbox, resenting clients, and questioning if you're cut out for this)
  • How to stop feeling guilty for working hard
  • The client communication boundary that dramatically lowered my running stress levels
  • Why overwhelmed small business owners often have a capacity-math problem
  • The simple calendar change I made that lowered my cortisol


Been white-knuckling your way through a season that was only supposed to last a few weeks and is somehow now just... your life? Let's help you find your way back.
