Are you stuck in the cycle of success that feels more like a trap than a triumph?
In this episode, I dive deep into the hidden struggles of entrepreneurship—where a thriving business on the surface can mask the exhaustion and burnout lurking beneath. I share my personal journey from photographer to business coach, revealing how the relentless hustle culture can leave you overworked, undervalued, and fearful that stepping back might lead to everything falling apart.
Many entrepreneurs hit a ceiling when trying to scale, only to find that traditional paths—like taking on more one-on-one clients or launching passive income streams—often lead to more stress, not more freedom. I break down why these strategies can backfire and how tech overwhelm, self-doubt, and the pressure to do it all can keep business owners feeling stuck. The real key? Shifting your mindset and implementing a smarter approach to growth.
If you're an established business owner ready to move from constant hustle to sustainable success, this episode is for you. This isn't about working more—it's about working smarter and creating passive income streams that truly support your financial and personal freedom.
In this episode, we chat about:
- My journey from burnout to freedom
- How to break the burnout cycle
- Ways to scale your business without sacrificing your time

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
