Have you ever pushed so hard in your business that you didn’t realise what it was costing you? 

In this episode, I’m sharing the three sacrifices I made early in my entrepreneurial journey that drained my energy, stole my joy, and slowed my growth far more than I ever expected. If you’ve been hustling nonstop, saying yes to the wrong clients, or trying to do everything yourself, this conversation will hit home.

I’ll walk you through the practical shifts that changed everything for me—working on the right tasks instead of all the tasks, understanding my genius zone, trusting my intuition, and building a business that fits into my life instead of consuming it. You’ll learn how to create harmony between work and family, why presence matters more than perfection, and how aligned clients and clear boundaries fast-track success.

If you want a business that fuels your life rather than drains it, this podcast episode is your roadmap.
