WHEN the business is running you
When the Business Is Running You
Episode Summary
This is a raw, in-the-moment conversation about what it actually feels like to be in the middle of building a business while raising a family and holding everything together.
We talk honestly about the tension of knowing you should be working on the business while being pulled into delivery, logistics, and day-to-day demands. We also explore the guilt, the pressure of being needed in multiple places, and what shifted when we stepped away from the desk and outside.
This episode captures the messy middle where nothing is broken, but everything feels stretched.
