When 'being consistent' is burning you out


Hello Reader,

I want to talk about something most working moms in business feel but rarely say out loud:

'I’m so tired… and I feel like I’m falling behind.'

Last week, between my new corporate job, client work, and family life, I barely had any time to work on my business.

No posting, hardly any LinkedIn engagement, zero progress on my new program.

And the first thing I did?

Not rest. Not reset. Instead, I judged myself.

'This is why your business isn’t growing.'
'Other people are signing clients. You’re not.'
'You’re just not consistent enough.'

Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth I had to remind myself of and I want you to remember too:

Every small step is progress.
One comment. One post. One journal entry. One podcast episode. It counts.

Consistency is not frequency.
It doesn’t mean posting every day at 9 AM. It means showing up regularly for your goals in a way that fits your life.

You don’t need more time. You need a rhythm that works for your season of life.
For me, that looks like:

  • 4:30 AM mornings → journaling, content, invitations
  • Lunch hour → client calls + replying to DMs + LinkedIn engagement
  • Evenings → family, rest, Netflix without guilt

If it were easy, what would it look like?
This question helped me build a business without burning out or quitting my job.

This week's new podcast episode is now live:

If this is you right now:

  • You want to share your ideas.
  • You want to build something of your own alongside your career.
  • But you’re tired. You’re scared of being seen. And you don’t know where to start.

That’s exactly why I created Power Hour.

In 60 minutes, we’ll:

  • Clarify your message and what you want to be known for
  • Figure out how to talk about it in a way that feels natural, not scary or salesy
  • Create a posting rhythm that fits your real life (job, kids, energy)
  • Design a safe visibility plan if you’re worried your boss or HR might see

You’re not behind. You’re building in a different season. And that’s still progress.

Have a wonderful week!
