Many women are told they just need to “find balance” between their business and personal lives - but what if the constant juggle isn’t balance at all, but burnout dressed up to look acceptable?
In this episode, I’m getting real about the hidden toll women, especially mothers and business owners, carry when trying to do it all. From the mental load of running a household to the guilt of missing out on business opportunities, I’ll share what this pressure really feels like and how I’ve learned to navigate it.
With 81% of women still managing the majority of household responsibilities and entrepreneurs facing higher risks of mental health struggles, it’s time to stop pretending balance is the answer and start building businesses that work with our lives - not against them.
Inside this episode:
✨ The truth about “balance” and why it often leads straight to burnout
✨ What triggers comparison (like seeing others on retreats) and how to reframe it
✨ Practical ways to outsource, delegate, and protect your energy
✨ Why aligning your goals with your lifestyle matters more than hustle
✨ Actionable steps to create support systems that sustain both you and your business
Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. With the right strategies, you can reclaim your time, energy, and vision - and grow a business that truly fits your life.
