Entrepreneurship Burnout: Started for Freedom, Now It’s 80-Hour Weeks... if that title hit you in the chest, this episode is for you. We’re breaking down why the “freedom dream” turns into an 80-hour workweek, what it costs, and the exact boundaries + systems that help you take your life back without blowing up your business.

In this episode, we cover:

• The freedom trap that makes overwork feel “normal”

• Why hustle culture keeps you stuck in reaction mode

• Boundaries that protect your time (closing time, response windows, deep work)

• How to eliminate, automate, and delegate without guilt

• A simple “one boundary + one system” reset for this week
