Listen "EP 442 | From Hustle to Sustainability with Kimberley Seldon"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Advocate in Chief, Kimberley Seldon, shares the story of my personal burnout moment—right in the middle of what should have been a dream project. She opens up about the emotional toll of saying yes too often, working past capacity, and losing the spark that made her fall in love with design in the first place. You’ll hear about her efforts to shift from hustle to sustainability and how that helped her reclaim her energy and restructure her business.
In this episode we learn:
- burnout doesn’t always look like a breakdown—it can happen quietly, even in beautiful spaces.
- sustainable change often starts with one small but bold decision.
- defining your true capacity (and honoring it) is a business strategy, not a luxury.
- raising your rates can reduce your workload and increase your revenue.
- a signature process saves time, builds confidence, and elevates the client experience.
- protecting your energy is not selfish—it’s what allows your creativity and business to thrive.
