Are you stuck in the cycle of success that feels more like a trap than a triumph?

In this episode, I dive deep into the hidden struggles of entrepreneurship—where a thriving business on the surface can mask the exhaustion and burnout lurking beneath. I share my personal journey from photographer to business coach, revealing how the relentless hustle culture can leave you overworked, undervalued, and fearful that stepping back might lead to everything falling apart.

Many entrepreneurs hit a ceiling when trying to scale, only to find that traditional paths—like taking on more one-on-one clients or launching passive income streams—often lead to more stress, not more freedom. I break down why these strategies can backfire and how tech overwhelm, self-doubt, and the pressure to do it all can keep business owners feeling stuck. The real key? Shifting your mindset and implementing a smarter approach to growth.

If you're an established business owner ready to move from constant hustle to sustainable success, this episode is for you. This isn’t about working more—it’s about working smarter and creating passive income streams that truly support your financial and personal freedom.

In this episode, we chat about:

• My journey from burnout to freedom
• How to break the burnout cycle
• Ways to scale your business without sacrificing your time

The whirlwind year also included multiple trips to New York City and a complete brand rebrand, adding layers of excitement and chaos.

I am still on a high from my Denver retreat and I had a super powerful conversation with the women there about how easy it is to burn out as a coach. Many of us are juggling two jobs. Maybe you’re a lawyer, but you’ve also created an online course for other lawyers. You could be an interior designer working with $100K plus projects during the day, and you also have this other program. 

That’s amazing if it’s set up properly and sustainably, but it’s not amazing if it’s not. And I speak from experience. 

During this episode, I open up about how I was completely burnt out, shut down my entire business, and basically started over. I go into how I bit off more than I could chew scheduling WAY too much, the difficult decision to let go of team members, and choosing to refocus my business to serve a broader audience and not just photographers. 

I’m sharing my mistakes with you so you can avoid making them. The last thing I want you to do is to scale so quickly in an unsustainable model where you burn out. If you’re ever doing something in your business and something feels off, it’s okay to pivot. You’re the CEO and you get to make your own decisions. 

In this episode, we chat about: 

• Some of the challenges of scaling a business
• My personal experience with getting burnt out 
• Shutting down my business and starting from scratch 
• The importance of trusting your gut
