You had the lightbulb moment: you realized you can’t keep doing this all on your own. But as soon as you admit you need help in your business… the panic sets in.

Where do you even find the time to hire, let alone lead someone ethically and effectively?

In this episode, I share the exact framework I wish someone had given me before I made some seriously questionable financial decisions out of sheer panic (yes, I'm talking about that coaching program I couldn't afford that cost us our house).

I’m giving you the permission slip to pause, take a breath, and get strategic about your next step. Because here’s the truth: What it really takes to prepare for your first hire is not a fancy onboarding doc or the perfect job description. It starts with something way more foundational: space.

In this episode, I walk you through:

💫 Why creating space is the unconventional first step to building an ethical, sustainable team

💫 The hidden cost of staying in constant growth mode

💫 The mentality shift from "grow, grow, grow" to sustainable maintenance that serves your long-term vision

💫 Practical steps to audit your time, energy, and ROI so you can hire from clarity, not chaos

This one’s especially for the conscious entrepreneur who’s doing important work, but can’t keep carrying it all alone. This isn't about working harder or finding more hours in the day. It's about preparing yourself to delegate, lead, and scale without losing your mind.
