305. Decision Fatigue Is Killing Your Business: Rena Duell's Story


Listen Later

What happens when a successful entrepreneur realizes that her thriving business is costing her health, joy, and sanity? In this episode of the Game On Girlfriend podcast, Sarah sits down with Rena—a former event business owner turned founder of One Team Partners—to talk candidly about reinvention, burnout, and building smarter business ecosystems.

What You'll Learn

From battling anxiety attacks and migraines to creating a business supporting other entrepreneurs, Rena shares lessons every solopreneur needs to hear. They dive into:

  • Rena's personal story of walking away from her 25-year business

  • The "brain trust" approach at One Team Partners (and why every entrepreneur needs one)

  • What decision fatigue really costs you—and how to reduce it

  • The lifesaving power of routines, systems, and tracking

  • Why self-care isn't soft—it's strategic

It's time to stop pretending you have to do it all alone. Tune in—and set yourself up with the support you deserve.
