In this episode of "The B Word," I'm back, and boy, do I have a story for you! So, picture this: it's January, and I'm at this awesome retreat, feeling all pumped up for the new year. Then bam! I get a call from my husband, Jeff. Now, Jeff's the kind of guy who avoids doctors like the plague, but this time, he's in such excruciating pain that we end up rushing him to the ER. Turns out, it's kidney stones. 🩺 Yeah, those little devils.

Fast forward to April, and Jeff's still battling those stones. Meanwhile, my daughter Emily breaks her toe at a trampoline park, and not just any break—90 degrees straight down. So, yeah, that's the health drama in the Bolt household.

But wait, there's more! I've hired new people to help with the business, and let's just say, one of them dropped the ball big time. Cue the stress and overwhelm. I mean, trying to juggle family health crises and business woes? It's been a rollercoaster, to say the least.

But I'm not one to stay down for long. I've got my strategies for tackling overwhelm, like going back to reading for pleasure (Sarah J. Moss, anyone?), leaning on friends for support (shoutout to Christina!), and dialing back on social media scrolling (bye-bye, puppy videos 🐾🐾🐾 ).

Oh, and let's not forget the power of music. I'm talking Lauren Daigle and Zac Brown Band soothing my soul while I tackle chores around the house.

Chances are, if you're an entrepreneur, you're likely gong to face overwhelm yourself at some point. It coud be business related, family related, or like me...both. So let's have a chat about how exactly I'm handling it so that you can do the same when you inevitably find yourself in this season of life too. We've all been there my friend.

As entrepreneurs, we have all experienced a moment where everything feels like it’s been flipped on its head. We can either continue on the path we are on or choose to make some changes. Today I’m sharing a vulnerable story of when I realized that I was facing a big change I needed to make - what I like to call “The Crossroads of Expansion.” 

I’m talking candidly about the period of upheaval and introspection that led me to crucial realizations about my life purpose, human design, and knowing that it was time to make a change. While enduring a taxing time juggling my entrepreneurial vision and family life, I experienced triggering conversations that mirrored my inner conflicts about pace and progress. 

This episode is a testament to the power of alignment, rest, self-care, and courage in embracing growth opportunities. Whether you seek to apply human design in business or find solace in the shared struggles of entrepreneurship, today I offer a guiding light through the chaos of expansion towards the clarity of a new direction.
