#39 - I Failed. How Ignoring My Own Advice Led to Burnout — Lessons Learned
💙 In this episode of the "How To Be A Handmade Boss" podcast, I dive deep into a topic that many of us face but often shy away from discussing: burnout and mental health.
✋ Before we get started, I offer a trigger warning for those who may not be in a place to hear about these struggles. If you're feeling overwhelmed or prefer to skip this episode, I completely understand. However, if you're interested in learning from my experiences over the past few months, I invite you to stick around.
🧘♀️ I share my internal conflict about whether to record this episode, feeling the pressure to always present a polished, reassuring front as a coach. But the truth is, running a business is not always hunky-dory, and I want to embrace a more holistic approach that includes not just strategies for growth but also the importance of mental wellness.
