I feel like I'm doing everything right. I meditate. I have boundaries. My life is actually pretty good. So why do I still feel burnt out? Why can't I keep up with my business the way I want to? Why does it feel like something's still off?

If that sounds like you, this episode is going to connect some dots you didn't even know needed connecting.

Jen Yundt Coles is a functional medicine health coach, SIBO specialist, and someone who literally had a heart attack from stress she didn't even realize was stress. In this conversation, we talk about the hidden stressors that are quietly sabotaging your business with chronic illness—and what to do about it.

We talk about:

• Why your gut health is directly messing with your business decisions, your creativity, and your energy
• The types of stress you're not even counting (and how they're stacking up in your body)
• What happens when you keep pushing through until your body literally forces you to stop

This episode is for you if:

• You disappear when you don't feel well and then feel like you're starting all over again every time you come back
• You can't keep up with the pace everyone says you should be moving at
• You know you need better systems but strategy alone isn't fixing what's actually wrong

Listen for:

• Why your body might be in fight-or-flight mode even when your life looks fine on paper
• The question Jen asks herself every single morning that changed how she runs her sustainable business
• How to actually run a business with chronic illness without feeling like you're always proving yourself

The truth: You're not broken. You're not lazy. Your body is trying to tell you something—and when you finally listen, building your business gets so much easier.
