How I Nearly Broke Myself Building My Dream Business — and What It Taught Me About Health, Lifestyle, and Success

💬 Episode Summary

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I built my dream business — and how it nearly broke me. From leaving my career in law and starting a personal styling brand while raising three young children, to discovering “passive income” and experiencing burnout, this is a very honest look at the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, health, and lifestyle.

If you’ve ever dreamed of starting your own business, or you’re a woman in midlife wondering what’s next, I think you’ll really relate to this one. I share what I wish I’d known sooner — how overwork can affect our physical and mental health, how to spot the signs of burnout before it’s too late, and how I rebuilt a more sustainable lifestyle that finally feels good.

I’ll also talk about how my experiences have shaped the work I do today, helping women build businesses that fit around real life — with less stress, more flow, and a lot more self-compassion.

💡 Here’s what I cover:

• How I went from law to styling and built a successful business from scratch
• The myth of “passive income” and what it really takes to make it work
• How burnout and illness forced me to rethink my definition of success
• Why self-compassion and rest are essential parts of any healthy lifestyle
• How I now help women create businesses that work for them — not the other way around

These days, I work one-to-one with women who want to grow their business without losing themselves in the process. My business coaching days are relaxed, supportive, and practical — a mix of clarity, strategy, and real-life wisdom for women who want success that supports their health and lifestyle, not drains it.
