Feeling exhausted from the constant push to do more, be more, and grow faster? You’re not alone — and no, the solution isn't more hustle. In this episode, I’m introducing you to something far more helpful: goblin mode.

Goblin mode, the Oxford Word of the Year (yes, really!), is all about being unapologetically self-indulgent. And in business? That’s revolutionary. This episode is a practical and gently rebellious take on what self-care actually means when you work for yourself — from boundaries to naps, and why you absolutely don't need to “earn” rest.

I talk about how the hustle narrative is wearing us down, what happens when we overpromise and underdeliver, and why being everything to everyone will only burn you out. I also share how I structure my own week, why I don't do client calls on Fridays, and how embracing goblin mode has made my business feel lighter and more fun.

✨ If you’ve been feeling tired, scattered, or just fed up with trying to “keep up,” this episode will give you the permission (and the practical ideas) to run your business in a way that actually supports you.
