Business Overwhelm Is Real—And You're Not Broken
You’re doing it all—client calls, social posts, invoices, Zooms, maybe wrangling a toddler—and still feeling like you're falling behind. That doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you need a business reset, not more hustle.
Even with systems and tools, burnout for service providers and small business owners happens. In this episode, Jess and Rachel get vulnerable about what happens when your systems aren’t enough—and how they’ve hit pause, reassessed, and started fresh with grace.
Step 1: Acknowledge the Overwhelm (Then Breathe)
Before powering through your to-do list, STOP. The first step in avoiding burnout in business is recognizing it. No guilt. No shame. Just awareness.
Burnout recovery for entrepreneurs starts with rest—not another caffeine-fueled sprint. Taking time to pause is a business strategy, not a weakness.
“Progress happens when you rest.” – From the podcast
Step 2: Rebuild Your Calendar, Reclaim Your Energy
If your calendar feels like a bossy toddler on a sugar high, it’s time for a calendar reset rooted in your actual life—not just deadlines.
We break down how to time-block for everything: client work, marketing, finances, and yes—self-care for entrepreneurs. Jess shares how she structures her week for both flexibility and focus, a game-changer for work-life balance in small business.
This method helps women-owned small businesses prioritize what matters and say no without guilt.
