This episode kicks off a 5-part series all about entrepreneurship, executive functioning, and building a sustainable business without burning yourself out: “Be A Better Boss To Yourself”

January 2026 marks my 12th year as an executive function coach and my fourth year as a business owner! In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I accidentally started my business, the executive functioning challenges that surprised me the most, and what I’ve learned about being a better boss to myself along the way.

If you’re a woman business owner, this series is for you. And even if you’re not self-employed, you’ll still walk away with insights you can apply to your work, your time, and your life.

1. Why unstructured time can feel so overwhelming—and why it caught me off guard when I became self-employed
2. How hustle, perfectionism, and “I should be able to figure this out” thinking quietly lead to burnout
3. The three pillars of my Get Unstuck Formula (self-talk, systems, and support) and how they show up in my real life as a woman entrepreneur
4. Why being a “good boss to yourself” requires strong executive function skills, mindset shifts, and boundary setting
5. How and why my business has shifted into a more sustainable, life-first business
