[S5, Ep3] Burnout-Proof Leadership: How to Stop White-Knuckling Your Business

Send us a text This week on Female Founder Unplugged — we"re getting honest about burnout. Because here’s the truth: you didn’t start your business to feel resentful, depleted, or joyless. But if you’re white-knuckling your way through the week, this episode is your wake-up call — and your recovery plan. In this episode, we get real about what burnout actually looks like — and how to take your power back before it breaks you. Episode Highlights:⚡Burnout doesn’t always look like total exhaustion — it might look like you, doing everything right, but feeling completely drained. [01:45] ⚡If your team looks great on paper but you’re running on empty, it’s time to stop redlining your business. [03:17] ⚡Ask yourself: What are your core values? Are you building a business that reflects them — or betrays them? [04:45] ⚡We burn out when our work is no longer aligned with our purpose. That’s not a personal failure. It’s a sign to re-align. [06:24] This episode isn’t about adding more to your plate — it’s about making space for recovery, reconnection, and realignment. 🎁 Access the Burnout Bounce-Back Framework Here!
