006 - How Do I Protect My Energy While Building Something That Matters?


Listen Later

Some days, running a business feels like more tabs, more tasks, more noise.

But what if we flipped the script?

In this episode, I share a personal moment—a quiet Saturday outside Whole Foods with a $2 pastry and a $1 coffee—that changed the way I think about success.

Because for many of us building from soul, not just scale…

Success doesn’t look like hustle.

It looks like margin.

It sounds like quiet.

In this reflection, I share:

  • How I’ve redefined “productive” as an introverted founder
  • Why protecting your energy isn’t selfish—it’s strategy
  • 3 practical ways to build a business that breathes (and still grows)

If you’ve been craving a slower, more intentional pace in your work and life, this one’s for you.
