    In business you have to balance self-care with the service of your business. Dr. Amy Porto challenges the narratives of Diet Culture and Entrepreneurship with a focus on self-care over self-control. We touch on the importance of tackling misinformation around nutrition and diet culture, and the consequences of neglecting self-care on both personal and professional fronts.
    Amy helps us explore the complexities of self-acceptance, feeling deserving in who you are now, and the true definitions of “health and wellness.” She encourages us to pursue authenticity, trust in ourselves, and explore resources for developing better relationships with food and ourselves, ensuring we are empowered to serve our clients and our own wellbeing.

  • S1/E14: Sometimes You Need to Pause

    S1/E14: Sometimes You Need to Pause
    Mar 12 2024
    We are back from a little break! Sometimes life throws something unexpected at us and we have to juggle something new. But, entrepreneurship is a journey and an adventure, and every little side quest gives us new experiences. I’m finishing out Season One and we are talking about burnout, prioritizing rest, boundaries, toxic cultures, and more.
    I wanted to share a little Welcome Back episode with you to give you a little update. Business was business-ing and I had to take a temporary hiatus from the podcast due to the demands of my pet sitting business. I thankfully have had a few great weekends to recharge and I’m back in my studio chair and feeling refreshed as I get back into the swing of things.
    These last few episodes of the season are, I hope, impactful for how you think about the relationship between you and your business. If you are heading into a busy season or work like I am, know that NOW is the time to prioritize learning how to rest and recharge. If you can’t practice resting now, you will definitely struggle to find that time when life and business get busy. If you can’t recharge your own batteries, you can’t possibly serve your clients as well as they deserve or to your normal expectations.
    I really encourage everyone to go to PetSitterBurnout.com to take our Burnout Assessment. It is only 15 questions, and it will tell you where you are currently at on the Burnout Scale. While there is always room for improvement, if you score in the middle or are in acute, chronic burnout, you need to make changes now. There is no time to waste. Head over to PetSitterBurnout.com right now and get started on your assessment.
    Then, I just want to say thank you again for being a part of this podcast. I have so enjoyed getting to share this journey with you. I love getting to cheer you on, so if you have a rest and recharge goal you are working to make a habit, reach out so we can be part of your cheer squad!
