37: #37 How to Navigate Tough Times in Your Business

Let’s face it — business can be hard. Even when you're the one expected to provide positivity and solutions, it’s tough to keep up that energy when you’re not feeling it yourself. If you're a coach, business owner, or leader, the pressure to stay positive for your clients or customers can sometimes feel like a heavy weight. In this episode, I’m opening up about the impact of the pandemic, the changes in the world that forced us all to adapt, and how we’ve been riding a wave of uncertainty ever since. Business owners have had to pivot, deal with financial strain, and navigate the emotional toll that comes with it. I’m sharing my own journey through this — from the personal challenges of a surprise autism diagnosis to the weight of leading a business through unprecedented times. I’ve faced burnout, and I've come out the other side, but it hasn’t been easy. Most importantly, I want you to know you’re not alone. Admitting when things aren’t going well doesn’t make you weak — it makes you human. If you’ve been pushing through without acknowledging the stress or exhaustion, maybe now’s the time to pause and reflect. This episode is a reminder that it's okay to share your struggles with others, lean on your network, and make changes when things feel off. And if you’re feeling like your own business is overwhelming right now, take comfort in knowing that it’s okay to not have all the answers — you can shift, you can change, and you can keep going.
