The Keep It All Together Rule: How Letting Go of Control Can Heal You and Your Business

We’ve all been taught to keep it all together and smile through the chaos, power through the pain, and keep performing even when life feels impossible. 

But what if holding it all together is the very thing keeping you from healing, growing, and building a business that feels true to you?

In this honest and grounded episode of #ActuallyICan, I open up about losing my mom, navigating grief, and finding the courage to let go of control. I share how giving myself permission to rest became not just survival but a pathway to authentic business growth. 

This is what overcoming burnout really looks like for midlife women entrepreneurs who are ready to trust in the process and stop pretending everything is fine.

You’ll hear:

• How permission to rest becomes an act of strength
• The truth about overcoming burnout while running a business
• Why choosing to let go of control is not failure but freedom
• How to keep it all together without losing yourself
• What it really means to trust in the process when life unravels

By the end, you’ll see that letting go of control and giving yourself permission to rest are not signs of weakness but essential steps in overcoming burnout. When you finally trust in the process, you stop trying to keep it all together and start creating authentic business growth on your own terms.

If this message speaks to you, share it with another woman who’s learning to let go and give herself permission to rest.
