84. The Hidden Business Structures Causing VA & OBM Burnout (And How to Fix Them)

Are you feeling exhausted, resentful of client work, or like you're constantly on call without the compensation or respect you deserve? In this eye-opening episode, I'm approaching burnout from a fresh perspective that might completely change how you view your business challenges.

The truth is, burnout isn't a capacity problem, it's a structure problem.

When your business is structured around reactivity, over-customization, and constant access to your energy, no amount of "just say no" or "take a vacation" advice will create lasting change. Instead, you need a fundamental shift in how your business operates.

In this episode, I share my three-phase burnout recovery framework that helps you rebuild for sustainable, spacious success. You'll discover how to identify your personal burnout triggers and take aligned steps forward to escape the cycle of exhaustion and create a business that energizes rather than depletes you.

Key Points Covered:

✨ The three core reasons service providers burn out between years 1-3 (and how they all relate to business structure)

✨ Why "helpful expert syndrome" becomes a liability that creates energy leaks in your business

✨ How the time-for-money ceiling creates an inevitable burnout point (even when you're charging premium rates)

✨ The trap of the reactive business structure that keeps you constantly responding instead of creating

✨ My three-phase burnout recovery framework: Reclaim, Restructure, and Rebuild

✨ A practical exercise to identify your energy drains, energy zones, and first shifts toward recovery

If you're tired of feeling drained by client work, procrastinating on tasks you used to enjoy, or watching your business bleed into your evenings and weekends, this episode offers a sustainable path forward. Discover how to transform your business structure to support your natural energy instead of working against it.
