Women Talk Fierce | Three Women. Three Stages of Life. Motherhood & Business.
Is it productivity… or are you just spiraling through spreadsheets?
In this honest and relatable episode of Women Talk Fierce, we dive deep into the fine line between being productive and being completely overwhelmed. As women balancing motherhood, business, clients, partnerships, and personal growth, we know what it feels like to juggle all the things — and sometimes drop a few balls in the process.
This week’s conversation explores burnout, anxiety, accountability, boundaries, and the hidden pressures women entrepreneurs carry every single day.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re building momentum or just surviving the chaos — this episode is for you.
Productivity vs. Busy Work
How do you know if you’re truly making progress — or just staying busy?
We discuss:
Why having a clear end goal changes everything
The importance of daily priorities and mapped-out tasks
How routines create stability in unpredictable seasons
Why structure prevents the “hamster wheel” feeling
Without a finish line, it’s easy to mistake motion for momentum.
What Burnout Actually Feels Like
Burnout isn’t just being tired.
For us, it looks like:
Nervous system overload
Anxiety and chest-tightening overwhelm
Shutting down and avoiding messages
Snapping at the people closest to us
Losing connection with our own business vision
We unpack the difference between:
Burnout often shows up as overwhelm — and if we’re honest, sometimes we create it ourselves.
The Tools That Help Us Reset
Everyone’s coping tools look different. In this episode, we share what actually helps:
• Morning routines (early runs, meditation, reading)
• Faith practices and nightly study
• Stepping away to regulate your nervous system
• Comedy, comfort shows, or even dark investigative binge-watching
• Physical movement to shift mental pressure
Burnout requires tools. And building those tools takes intention.

Accountability: Who Calls You Out?
We talk candidly about:
• Being your own harshest critic
• When guilt drives productivity
• The role of spouses and partners in recognizing burnout
• Why sticky notes sometimes replace memory
• And why we all need someone who will lovingly say: “Get it together.”
Entrepreneurship can feel isolating — but accountability keeps us grounded.
⸻
Boundaries in Business: Pricing, Alignment & Saying No
One of the biggest shifts in avoiding burnout? Boundaries.
We discuss:
• Why alignment matters more than a “dream” paycheck
• Letting go of clients who feel heavy
• Retainer pricing vs. hourly work
• Why you can’t discount your boundaries
• Becoming selective about who enters your world
The longer you’re in business, the more you realize:
Not every opportunity is meant for you.
