Success Without Burnout:

How to Heal the Hustle Mentality and Take Back Your Life

When Your Dream Business Starts to Feel Like a Cage

You started your business for freedom.

But instead of wide-open space, you find yourself chained to a calendar that looks like pepperoni pizza—calls scattered at all hours, evenings and weekends swallowed, and life squeezed in wherever there’s leftover “cheese.”

You’re exhausted. You’re underpaid. And you’re wondering, “Isn’t this supposed to be better than corporate?”

Here’s the truth: this isn’t about discipline. It’s about wiring. Your nervous system is still stuck in hustle mode. And until you flip that script, your business will keep running your life.

That’s exactly what I’ll show you in my free workshop: Success Without Burnout: Heal the Hustle Mentality (October 7). But first, let me walk you through three shifts you can start today.

Three Shifts to Start Healing the Hustle Mentality

Shift 1: Block Life First (and Stop Apologizing for It)

Most entrepreneurs build their calendar around their clients and try to squeeze life into the cracks.

Flip it. Block your life first.

• Dinner with your family.

• Walks that clear your head.

• Sundays off, no exceptions.

Put them in bold red, mark them “busy,” and protect them as fiercely as you would a client session.

This isn’t selfish. It’s sustainability.

Shift 2: Raise Your Rates (So You Can Breathe Again)

If you’re charging $100 an hour, after taxes and overhead you may be taking home less than you did in corporate.

Try this: write your current rate, then add 20%. Notice what your body does—relief, excitement, or panic.

That panic? It’s not truth, it’s your nervous system resisting change.

One client of mine was charging $75 for services worth $200. She was drained, resentful, and constantly behind. When she raised her rates, yes—her income grew. But the bigger shift? She reclaimed her evenings, stopped working weekends, and started showing up with energy for the clients she loved.

Raising your rates isn’t about greed. It’s about freedom.

Shift 3: Align With Who You Are

If you’ve ever thought, “I must be lazy, because I hate doing this thing every coach says I should be doing,” you’re not lazy. You’re misaligned.

Here’s the test:

• Write down two business tasks you love and two you dread.

• Double down on what you love.

• For what you dread, ask: is it the only way? If not, cut it. If yes, outsource, automate, or simplify.

The more your business matches your strengths and energy, the more sustainable—and profitable—it becomes.

You’re Not Broken, You’re Blocked

Here’s what I wish someone had told me years ago:

• You’re not lazy.

• You’re not failing.

• You’re not broken.

What’s happening is your nervous system is locked in hustle mode, driven by imposter syndrome: the fear of being seen, the panic about raising your rates, the belief you’ll never be enough.

And the longer you push without fixing the wiring, the more you risk: burnout, resentment, even walking away from the dream business you’ve poured your heart into.

What Happens If You Don’t Heal the Hustle Mentality?

• Your body pays the price. Exhaustion, stress, and resentment don’t just go away on their own.

• Your clients pay the price. Burnt-out coaches can’t give their best.

• Your business pays the price. Undercharging and overworking lead straight to stagnation.

But here’s the flip side: when you clear the blocks, everything changes.

• Stress drops.

• Confidence rises.

• You create a true success mindset that carries into every part of life.

  Let's be honest. Does your business run

  your life?

  Or do you run your business?

  If you've ever promised yourself that

  you would slow down, but still found

  yourself pushing, overwork, and feeling

  guilty when you finally rest, this video

  is for you, 100%. Because here's the

  thing, it's not a discipline problem.

  It's a wiring problem. And today I'm

  going to show you how to start flipping

  that. When I left corporate, I thought

  running my own business meant freedom.

  But the thing is is I didn't unlearn the

  habits that I had learned in corporate.

  My calendar looked like best thing I can

  think of was pepperoni pizza. You know

  how the pepperonis kind of spread around

  and then I was trying to live life in

  between where the cheese is. you know, a

  Thursday night client, a Saturday

  morning call, random little blocks all

  over the place because I felt that I had

  to be available just like the big

  corporate offices are like, you know,

  hey, our hours are extended and long

  and, you know, coming from health care

  247. I knew better than to do midnight,

  though. I'll tell you that. But you know

  what? Even though I was trying to do

  everything between 7 and 9 at night,

  Saturday through Sunday or Monday

  through Sunday, um I was exhausted. I

  was resentful. I was underpaid

  because I couldn't even ask for what I

  needed.

  life had completely slipped away along

  with this dream of the freedom that we

  set for ourselves when we start our own

  practice. There's so much fear that

  comes in that we're not going to be

  available, affordable,

  present that we'll miss out and that can

  turn into this hustle mentality.

  One day a mentor of mine said something

  that just stopped me completely in my

  tracks. She was talking about a

  conversation she had with another client

  and um she said

  she was complaining because she wanted

  to be able to

  build her schedule around ski season.

  She was like, "You know, here's the

  thing. I love to go skiing, but since

  I've started my own business, I can't

  ever go skiing."

  And my mentor was like, "Well, why not?

  Why not have your sessions

  before your your time for ski season and

  after? Or if you're virtual,

  why not have a couple during ski season

  from the ski lodge from where you're

  going?

  There's so many different ways to do

  this." And it was a a a mental aha.

  It was like, wait, I can do that. I can

  design my business around fishing

  season. I can design my business around

  our Thanksgiving trips. We'd love to do

  a Thanksgiving road trip. I began

  realizing that I didn't have to set my

  rules

  for schedule or anything else really by

  what corporate says is acceptable.

  I could actually design my business

  around me, my life, who I am, and what I

  need.

  So, here's three small shifts that you

  can try this week to start building your

  business around who you are. Right? The

  first thing I want to talk about is

  blocking life first on that calendar.

  Maybe we don't make the big shifts.

  Maybe it's those little things that we

  need every single week, every single

  day. You know, pick your three top

  non-negotiables.

  Do you like to go for a daily walk?

  Maybe have dinner with a family? Take

  Sundays off? Put them on the calendar

  before the clients have an opportunity

  to schedule. Block them out. Make them

  bright red. Make them black. Make them

  untouchable.

  They are busy. You have an appointment

  with your life and it's just as

  important

  as the appointment with a client.

  Next, those times that you are meeting

  with clients, I want you to make them

  more profitable

  almost consistently.

  The people that I talk to are

  undercharging.

  There's so much math involved in it, but

  basically if you are charging $100 an

  hour, depending on where you are in the

  country,

  taxes are eating half of that and then

  you have your overhead. You have all

  these other things coming out. You're

  probably making less than you were in

  corporate and you're wondering where all

  the money is going that's coming in.

  Well, it's going to all the overhead.

  It's going to the taxes. It's going to

  all of these things. So, I want to

  challenge you.

  Write your price down

  and add 20%.

  Now, the easy way to do that is if

  you're charging $100,

  then you double the number and take one

  zero off. So, uh if you're charging

  $100, you double it. It's 200. Take one

  zero off. That's 20. So it would be

  adding $20 to the 100. So 120.

  What did you feel when you wrote that

  number?

  Relief, excitement,

  panic.

  That reaction matters a lot more than

  the math.

  You

  your nervous system is freaking out. And

  that's okay. We can we can address that

  and we will. But for right now, I want

  you to understand what it looks like and

  feels like to charge more. Um, in fact,

  I need to do another video to tell you

  how to set your fee, right? Um, I'll

  never forget the client that I met and

  that that I say one, but really this is

  an average client that's charging, you

  know, 50, $75

  for services that are worth 200.

  They're exhausted. They're broke.

  They're working as many hours as they

  can squeeze in. They have no life

  outside. There's nothing to pour back

  into their clients. they can't do the

  kind of quality care that they really

  want to, but they don't even realize it

  sometimes.

  Well, this one client I'm thinking of,

  the moment that she raised her rates, of

  course, her income increased, but then

  she was able to say no to those evening

  calls. She was able to say no to some of

  those weekend reschedules. her

  confidence shifted,

  her schedule shifted, and she was

  starting to build her business around

  her life instead of the other way. And

  then number three, I want you to to

  focus on aligning your business with who

  you are.

  I used to be horrible about marketing.

  Horrible.

  I would go and I had this whole list of

  shoulds. I'd spent money with this coach

  and that coach and and this program over

  here and all of them had one thing in

  common. The only way to be successful

  was to do what they told you to do.

  The reality is there's a lot of ways to

  be successful and you're not going to be

  successful if you're so busy shooting on

  yourself that you're not doing the

  thing.

  So, what I want you to do is I want you

  to write down two business tasks that

  you absolutely love and two that you

  dread.

  The ones that you love, circle those.

  Try to figure out how we can get more of

  that into your practice, into your

  business.

  The ones you dread,

  let's look at those. Number one, are

  they the only way to make whatever the

  goal of that is happen? You know, if you

  hate going on podcasts, do you have to?

  If you hate writing ads, do you need to

  social media? Fill in the blank. Right?

  If it's important and needs to get done,

  you need to have a social media

  presence. You don't have to do podcasts,

  right? So, if you need to have that

  thing but you and you dread it, can you

  outsource it?

  Is it something that you could get a

  lowcost help for it? Could you trade?

  Could you automate it? How can we reduce

  the dread and increase the love

  over time?

  The more that you build your business to

  fit who you are, the more you'll be

  energized, the more sustainable, and the

  more profitable it's going to become.

  Now, I know some of you are saying,

  "Well, I've tried that. I've done that.

  It didn't work. I can't do that."

  Or,

  "Yeah, I tried it and I just suck at it.

  I'm just so lazy. I procrastinate. I'm

  horrible."

  I want you to hear me. You're not lazy.

  You're not broken. There's nothing wrong

  with you. This does not mean you're not

  supposed to be an entrepreneur.

  What this means is that your brain

  is protecting you. For years, I bought

  program after program, followed this

  formula and that formula, told myself I

  just needed more discipline. quit being

  so lazy until the day that I finally sat

  down and was in tears because I thought

  I'm just can't be an entrepreneur.

  That was my nervous system. It was

  locked in hustle mode. It kept trying to

  put me into overdrive with the shoods.

  And that's why October 7th, I'm actually

  hosting a free workshop called Success

  Without Burnout: Heal the Hustle

  Mentality. Um, in one hour, I'm going to

  walk you through these strategies in

  details, guide you through a wonderful

  unique reset tool that's going to help

  you feel what it's likely what it's like

  to finally set that weight down instead

  of carrying it. And if you've been

  circling that next step, whether it's

  raising your rates, shifting your niche,

  stepping into visibility, or maybe

  launching your program, this workshop is

  going to is designed to help you stop

  that circling and start moving. So the

  link below to register, grab your spot

  today because your business should fit

  your life,

  not the other way around. And you'll

  find that when you're able to finally

  do that, everything is going to get

  easier.

  I hope you have a wonderful and blessed
