It’s election week in the U.S. and many of us are feeling distracted and emotional. Running a business when there are big things going on in the world can be totally overwhelming - of course it is going to feel hard to show up in our lives and businesses when the world around us feels anything but simple!

In this episode, I’m addressing the very real impact that major events - whether it’s elections, natural disasters, or personal crises - can have on our ability to stay focused and run our businesses. I'll share practical strategies to balance staying informed while also protecting your mental well-being, and how to give yourself grace during times when your best doesn’t feel good enough. These insights aren’t just for this election week... they’re tools you can apply any time life throws you a curveball.

You will learn:

• Why it’s completely normal to feel distracted or emotionally drained by current events and how to make peace with that reality.
• The importance of setting boundaries around news and social media consumption, and how to find the right balance for you.
• How to simplify your business plan and prioritize the bare essentials during stressful periods.
• Tips for working in short bursts when focus is limited, and why adjusting expectations is key to long-term sustainability.
• Ways to channel your feelings into positive action and find areas where you can make a real impact.

If you're struggling with how to manage your business when the world feels upside down, this episode is for you. Tune in for some grounded advice and a gentle reminder that it’s perfectly okay to be human - and that taking care of yourself might just be the best business strategy there is.
