Ever feel like you’re doing everything but still falling behind? Like your energy’s drained, your brain won’t switch off, and you're shouldering all the mental load alone? If asking for help feels like a weakness, and your healthy habits are nowhere to be seen, this episode is exactly what you need. 🌿

In this episode of The Remote CEO Life podcast, I’m joined by Sue Richards - coach, mentor, speaker and host of the PEP Talks podcast. She’s on a mission to help women in business manage their mental load, build healthy habits, and feel safe asking for help without guilt. We talk burnout, energy, motherhood and the pressures of being a female entrepreneur. It’s real, honest, and seriously needed.

Here’s what we discussed:

- How to reduce your mental load when you’re juggling motherhood and a business
- Why so many women in business resist asking for help and how to shift that mindset
- What healthy habits actually look like when you’re already overwhelmed
- How perfectionism, people pleasing and self-worth issues fuel burnout
- The connection between mental health, depression, and sustainable personal development

If you’re a woman in business constantly navigating mental load and wondering how to create more space for yourself, this is your sign to stop doing it all alone. Tune in to hear how building healthy habits and asking for help can change everything 💫

What really happens when your business fails? And how do you start again at the age of 40?

In this episode of The Remote CEO Life Podcast, I’m chatting to social media agency owner and podcast host Jen Kinal.

After running a successful event planning business for over a decade, Jen lost everything during the pandemic and was forced to start over - at 40.

She shares the raw truth behind burnout, rebuilding her confidence, and starting a brand new business that finally gave her the freedom she wanted.

You’ll hear:

- What it really feels like when your business fails
- How Jen went from events to launching her own social media agency
- The steps she took to recover from burnout and rebuild her confidence
- Why undercharging can keep you stuck (and how to fix it)
- The systems and mindset shifts she put in place to avoid burnout for good
- How to create recurring revenue in a service-based business
- What freedom looks like when you design your business your way

If you're starting over, feeling stuck in your current business, or ready to build a more sustainable path to freedom - this one’s for you.

Listen now to hear how Jen made her pivot work.
