Listen "578: (Solo) The Wake-Up Call That Changed How I Work"

Episode Synopsis

I almost walked away from Foundr. Not because the business wasn’t working—but because I wasn’t.

In this episode, I’m sharing the truth about burnout. After seven years of building nonstop, I hit a wall—mentally, emotionally, and physically. What followed was one of the hardest seasons of my entrepreneurial journey. But it also forced me to change everything: how I work, how I lead, and how I show up in my life.

Here’s what you’ll take away:
• The real signs of burnout I ignored for too long
• The boundaries and routines that brought me back
• How to grow your business without sacrificing your health

This is a brand new solo series I’m testing, and I’d love your feedback. Email me directly at [email protected] — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
