Growth can look great on paper while quietly draining your energy behind the scenes. In this episode, Jillian explores a hidden challenge many women entrepreneurs face as their businesses expand: overhead creep. When more clients and revenue lead to rushed hiring, unclear roles, and rising responsibilities, quality and capacity often suffer—even though nothing appears "wrong."

Jillian breaks down why hiring more people isn't always the solution, how unmanaged growth increases mental load, and why women leaders are especially impacted by invisible labor and decision fatigue. She shares real-life examples, common hiring pitfalls (including contractor overload), and a more intentional way to evaluate your team before adding new roles.

You'll learn how documenting systems, clarifying expectations, and restructuring roles can actually restore capacity, improve quality, and create a supportive ecosystem that works with your energy instead of against it. This episode is an invitation to pause, reconnect with your business, and choose leadership that honors your whole life—before burnout becomes the baseline.
