If you're a high-achieving woman who's working harder than ever but not seeing that effort reflected in your revenue, clarity, or creativity, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

Most founders assume the bottleneck is strategy: the content plan, the funnel, the algorithm, the offer. But today, we’re looking at the real constraint — the one no one talks about — your body’s ability to hold what you’re building.

Because you can’t scale a business your body can’t sustain.

In this episode, we dig into the patterns from 2025 that drained your capacity, why next year can only look different if your internal state does, and the first steps to rebuilding the energy, clarity, and resilience your business requires.

And when you’re ready, download the 2026 Body & Business Capacity Planner — a one-page reflection designed to help you get honest about what this year took from you and what your body needs to lead differently in 2026. 

• Why your business isn’t growing even though you’re doing “everything right”
• How depletion quietly shuts down creativity, visibility, and strategic thinking
• The real reason you avoid marketing, content, and lead generation when you’re exhausted
• How skipped meals, blood sugar crashes, and chronic stress turn into hormonal shifts that stall your business
• The difference between strategy capacity and body capacity
• What changes when you shift your state (being) before you shift your habits (doing)
• How to identify your 2025 energy leaks so you can rebuild for 2026
