In this episode, I’m talking about something that hits close to home—this belief that being busy means we’re being successful. For years, I was constantly in hustle mode. I was working long hours, trying to say yes to every opportunity, and doing everything I thought I was supposed to do to grow my business.

But even with all that effort, I still felt stuck and overwhelmed—and my income didn’t reflect the energy I was pouring in.

Now, my business looks totally different. I work about 20 hours a week, I’ve created consistent income, and I market in a way that feels aligned and sustainable. I want that kind of freedom for you too.

So in this episode, I’m unpacking how to shift out of the burnout cycle, stop equating busyness with success, and start creating a business that actually works for your life.
