Life Update: How I'm Rebuilding My Business Around My Life

I kept putting off this solo episode because I did not want to get camera-ready. So I took the camera out of the picture. This audio-only life update is about the changes that helped me feel like myself again, a year after sharing that I was burned out.

I share how I started building my business around my life as a mother, why I am focused on Podcast Moguls and SHIFT, and what I learned from launching the first group cohort of SHIFT this summer.

I also talk about returning to therapy, the impact of postpartum on my mental health, and making room to rest. Next up: building systems that require less of my energy and asking what I can take out of the picture when I feel stuck.

Main Takeaways

• Design your business around your life instead of designing your life around your business.
• Identify the part of a process that is keeping you stuck, and ask whether you can remove it.
• Focus on the offers that fit your life, and build systems that reduce unnecessary work.
• Protecting rest and getting professional support can change how you work and how you feel.
