If you feel like you’re constantly doing all the things — working, parenting, managing a household, trying to grow a business — and still feel behind, this episode is for you.
For a long time, I thought doing everything at once was just part of being a working mom and business owner. I thought balance meant juggling it all and somehow keeping everything in the air. What I didn’t realize was how much pressure that mindset was putting on me — and how close it was pushing me toward burnout.
In this episode, I talk about why trying to do everything isn’t sustainable, and why I stopped chasing balance altogether. I share what it looks like to build around rhythm instead — one that shifts with seasons, priorities, and real life.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, guilty no matter where you are, or exhausted by the pressure to keep everything running, I hope this conversation feels like permission to slow down and refocus.
