Episode Synopsis
If you’ve ever reached the end of the year and secretly opened Seek to look for a “normal job,” this episode is for you.In this week’s episode, I’m having a very honest conversation about what happens when your business starts running you instead of you running it. We’ll talk about burnout, “shoulds,” misaligned offers, leaky boundaries, and why so many practitioners and soul-led entrepreneurs quietly resent the businesses they’ve built.Most importantly, we’ll look at how to change it.This is a practical, no-fluff episode about designing a business that actually fits your real life, your health, your family, and your values, instead of sacrificing everything to keep it going.In this episode, I talk about:Why I’m drawing a line in the sand and refusing to keep doing work that drains meThe subtle ways we end up sacrificing our lives to our businesses (often with the best intentions)How “shoulds” quietly build a business you never actually wantedWhat “life by design” really means in simple, grounded termsHow to start putting your real life, health, and values at the centre of your business modelThe difference between being ambitious and just burning yourself outWhy more offers and more hustle rarely equal more incomeHow to start simplifying your offers, schedule, and marketing so your business feels lighter, not heavierThe emotional side of letting go of offers, identities, and expectations that no longer fitSimple steps you can start this week.Inside the episode, I walk you through how to:Get radically honest about the life you actually want in 2026Audit your current business against that vision (offers, schedule, marketing, boundaries)Sketch a simpler, more aligned business model with fewer, clearer offersStart letting go with love of what doesn’t serve you anymoreYou don’t have to burn it all down.
