Ep 14 - The Year Where Everything Broke
The Daycare call that exposed my business prison and how I rebuilt for freedom.
In this episode, I share the full story behind the year 'everything broke,' beginning with the Daycare call where I needed to care for my daughter full-time without a plan.
Already overwhelmed by running two businesses largely alone while managing school drop-offs, an intense family load, and discovering my own neurodiversity, I was burning out and experiencing serious mental and physical symptoms.
The crisis revealed my business only worked when I did, with no systems, automations, or delegation, turning success into a "different kind of cage."
A gentle heads-up before you dive in, this episode touches on some mental health topics. I share these conversations with so much care and love, but also know that everyone's journey is different. If anything comes up for you while listening, please be kind to yourself and reach out for support. You are never alone.
Mental health resources are always available ,whether that's a trusted friend, your GP, or a professional counsellor. You deserve support whenever you need it. 🤍
