Ep. 132 – Burnt Out to Balanced

March 26, 2024

75% of small business owners reported that they suffer from burnout!  Some were hospitalized; some suffering from depression; others struggling with divorce.  In this last episode of Women of Means, I chat with a former client of mine as she shares her recovery from burnout to living a joyful, balanced life.

Michelle LaFleur and I talk about:

  • The three steps she used to recover from her burnout
  • How she now works 3 days/week in her successful business
  • What she’s doing with her free time
  • As well as her biggest lesson learned​

ACTION PLAN

  1. STOP and think about what you’re actually doing with your life and business.
  2. Discover YOUR way to relieve the stress so you can find clarity and focus.
  3. Create space by getting rid of old baggage (mindset).
  4. Establish your method for long-term calmness.
  5. Shift from being a ‘doer’ in your business to the ‘leader’ i.e. CEO of your business.
