When Your 9-5 Drains You...But You Still Have a Dream


Hello Reader,

Last week I felt like everything was too much.

New job. Kids. Business ideas. Exhaustion.
Zero time. Zero energy.
And I’ll be honest, part of me wanted to quit everything.

But I can’t. I’m the primary earner. My income matters.
And I know you might feel this too, pulled between responsibility and dreams.

So this week’s podcast is for both of us.

What I Shared in the Episode:

  • The breakdown that led to this episode
  • Why feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing
  • My 10-step process to move from chaos → calm → action

3 Quick Wins You Can Use Today

  1. Name it. Say out loud: 'I feel overwhelmed.' Awareness is step one.
  2. Breathe before reacting. One slow breath = one less regret.
  3. Choose one action. Not 10. Just one thing that moves you forward.

Journal Prompts

  • What makes me feel trapped right now?
  • What would 'small progress' look like today?
  • If I believed I could handle this, what would I do next?

Hi Reader, If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business or you’ve already begun, chances are you’ve met these fears head-on: Doubt: Will this even work? Lack: What if I can’t make enough money? Judgment: What will people think of me? I’ve been there too. As a working mom with a demanding job and family responsibilities, I often wondered if I had what it took. Here’s the truth I’ve learned: Building a business is less about the *perfect* strategy and more about who you’re becoming...

Hello Reader, Six years ago, at my dad’s wake, I kept hearing his voice ask me a single, haunting question: 'What will your legacy be?' That question changed the trajectory of my life. Two weeks later, I incorporated my business - not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t want fear to dictate my future. Today I honor my dad's 6th death anniversary with this week’s podcast, From Grief to Growth: How My Dad’s Words Shape My Business and how he continues to guide me. I share:...
