When the Work You Love Starts to Hurt
let’s level up:
Grow Yourself To Grow Your BusinessSmash through growth ceilings,
Last year, I hit a wall. After hours of back-to-back coaching sessions on Zoom, I felt it. Eyes dry. Body locked. Creativity flat. The work still mattered. But something in me had shifted. What once felt like flow now felt like fatigue. Coaching has always been a kind of current for me. Alive. Energising. Clear. But suddenly, I could not feel it anymore. The current had dried up. My Body Woke Up. So Did My Business.I felt movement in my body and momentum in my thinking. Everything felt lighter. I felt like myself again. Not because I was doing less. But because I was doing it differently. Aligned with what my body and brain needed. Sustainability Looks Different for EveryoneFor me, it was a walking phone call. It does not need to be a dramatic overhaul. It only needs to be intentional. Because your business should never cost you your body. Your nervous system is not a resource to burn through. And the way you feel in your work matters just as much as the work you are doing. Build Around Your Life, Not Over ItAs founders, we are taught to structure the business first and figure life out around the edges. But what if we flipped that? What if your business were built around how you want to feel, live, move, and show up? What if your systems served your wellbeing instead of your survival? What if your calendar supported your nervous system instead of pushing it to the edge? Small Shifts Create Big AlignmentSometimes the most powerful changes are not loud. They do not come with a launch. They come with a walk. Or a pause. Or a boundary. Or a question. What do I need to stay connected to myself while I build this? If you are holding space for others, make sure you are also holding space for you. Because this is not just about how you work. It is about how you live.
