My Experience with Burnout as a Creative Entrepreneur


Listen Later

Burnout is one of those things that most creative entrepreneurs will face at some point, and I’ve lived through it more than once. From migraines and anxiety in my corporate days to drowning in client work and not even noticing that I'd hit my first $10K month, burnout has shown up in different ways throughout my career.

In this episode, I'm getting raw and real about my my personal journey with burnout including how it crept in, how I finally recognized it for what it was, and the lessons I learned about boundaries, support, and sustainability. 

My hope is that this gives you both validation if you’re going through it and practical takeaways to help you avoid (or recover from) that same spiral.

👉 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • The difference between working hard and true burnout (and how to spot the warning signs)
  • How my first corporate job taught me what not to tolerate in work culture
  • The physical and emotional toll burnout took during my early years in business
  • Why waiting too long to hire help made things harder and what I’d do differently
  • Practical shifts I’ve made to protect my peace, from limiting calls to only saying yes to “heck yes” clients
  • Why redefining success and honoring your season of life is key to avoiding burnout long-term

🎧 Tune in for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at burnout in business and the lessons you can take with you to build something more sustainable.
