I know what it’s like to build a business alone because I’ve been there. I poured everything into my dream, convinced my hard work would be enough but behind the scenes, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and barely holding it together.
I didn’t trust anyone to handle things like I would, so I carried it all. I thought if I stepped back, everything would fall apart and, in the end, it did. That kind of hustle isn’t sustainable.
"If they’re second-guessing your path, take steps so big they lose track of your direction."

Why The Entrepreneurial Soft Life™

Expected to “do it all” without rest or complaint
Socialized to over-deliver to prove their worth
Rarely given space to lead with softness, ease, or emotional honesty
Often the first in their families to build a business, creating added emotional and financial weight
What They’re Feeling:
Burned out from being the only one holding the business up
Resentful of team members who rely too heavily on them
Tired of being booked and busy but still stuck in operations
Ready to shift but unsure how to do it without losing control
