The 3 f's of solo business life: freedom, flexibility, fun… right?
So why does your nervous system reality feel more like fight, flight or freeze? (Or copious amounts of fries, depending on your coping snack of choice).
In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm secretly over trying to “do more in less time.”
A bit of a productivity pivot, if you will - and why obsessing over being productive and feverishly managing your time is really not the answer when it comes to what's really keeping you stuck.
Instead, I’m exploring the real reasons behind why you feel burnt out, overwhelmed, and permanently behind as a solo business owner or solopreneur. (Spoiler: it’s not because you’re bad at time management or naturally unproductive)
In this episode, we'll talk:
✔️ The hidden mental toll of solo business life (and why it's actually got nothing to do with how well you manage your time)
✔️ The cycle of “sprint → burnout → repeat” that’s quietly wreaking havoc on your focus and energy
✔️ The shocking mental health stats for solopreneurs (seriously, this one blew my mind)
✔️ 5 tiny, game-changing shifts to support your headspace and mental health as a solo business owner
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly “on” but never on top of things, this episode is your permission slip to step off the productivity hamster wheel and start supporting yourself instead.
DM me on Instagram (@theproductivityproject_) if this episode has brought anything up for you - I'd seriously love to hear from you.
