118 | Boundaries & Burnout: Thriving, Not Just Surviving in Our Business

As creatives, we know that setting boundaries is important -- but how often are we sticking to them? It's SO crucial to know your boundaries because often times when they start to slip....burnout starts to sink in. In today's episode we're getting REALLY honest and talking about how we can create healthy boundaries for ourselves & also create a business that thrives (and feels GOOD to us!)

Burnout is more common than we think, and recognizing the signs is essential for our well-being. In this episode, I open up about my personal experience with burnout, how it snuck up on me, and how you can see the signs before it goes too far.

As an enneagram 9, I often struggled with people pleasing. Saying yes to too many things, always having a lot on my plate, trying to always strive for more and make others exceptionally happy...if you're anything like me, you know these feelings all too well. But guess what? I've learned more and more over time that setting healthy boundaries are not only good for our mental and emotional health -- but they're actually really crucial in preventing burnout and creating a thriving business. Especially as an entrepreneur! Join me in this heartfelt conversation where we explore the importance of setting and maintaining boundaries in our businesses, and how they can change as we grow and reach new levels of success.

Here's a sneak peek of what we cover today:
1. How the way we approach our business matters (we don't have to build a system that looks like everyone else's -- as a matter of fact, it's better if it doesn't)
2. Understanding that burnout can come from all different types of situations and circumstances (it doesn't have to be a long buildup of events)
3. How experiencing moments of burnout can actually be really helpful for our business (because it challenges us to grow and learn more about how we best work!)

I can't wait for you to dive in and share your takeaways 💛
