In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I sit down with Quinn Tempest, a business and marketing strategist who helps solopreneurs build sustainable businesses aligned with their values and vision. Quinn shares her journey from the corporate world to running her own business serving purpose-driven entrepreneurs, and reveals powerful insights about recognizing burnout as a sign of growth rather than failure.
During our conversation, Quinn introduces the concept of two distinct types of burnout: the familiar exhaustion type and a deeper burnout that signals you've outgrown your current business system. She explains why so many service providers hit a wall despite working harder, and offers a refreshing perspective on how to view these challenges as opportunities for transformation rather than personal shortcomings.
If you're an online service provider feeling overwhelmed, resentful of client work, or sensing there's a different way to structure your business, this episode provides actionable strategies for creating a business model that truly reflects who you are and where you want to go.
Key Points Covered:
✨ The distinction between exhaustion burnout and system burnout

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
