Send us a text

This week on Female Founder Unplugged — we're getting honest about burnout.

Because here’s the truth: you didn’t start your business to feel resentful, depleted, or joyless. But if you’re white-knuckling your way through the week, this episode is your wake-up call — and your recovery plan.

In this episode, we get real about what burnout actually looks like — and how to take your power back before it breaks you.

Episode Highlights:

• ⚡Burnout doesn’t always look like total exhaustion — it might look like you, doing everything right, but feeling completely drained. [01:45]
  
  
• ⚡If your team looks great on paper but you’re running on empty, it’s time to stop redlining your business. [03:17]
  
  
• ⚡Ask yourself: What are your core values? Are you building a business that reflects them — or betrays them? [04:45]
  
  
• ⚡We burn out when our work is no longer aligned with our purpose. That’s not a personal failure. It’s a sign to re-align. [06:24]
  
  

This episode isn’t about adding more to your plate — it’s about making space for recovery, reconnection, and realignment.
