Your Business Outgrew Your Bandwidth - Not Your Capability

The Simplicity Sessions

In this episode, I'm coming to you from my bedroom—sometimes you just need a quiet space when the house is full of teenagers! I hadn't planned to record today, but a powerful question landed in my Instagram DMs that I knew so many of you would relate to: "What's the one thing every woman in business needs to hear right now?"

I dive deep into the realities of running a business as a woman, especially when you're already "successful" by traditional standards but still feel overwhelmed, tired, and unsure how to grow without burning out. I share my own journey—how hustle and saying yes to everything got me started, but how strategy, systems, and honoring my own rhythms have been the real keys to sustainable growth and recurring revenue.

Key Moments:

• The difference between capacity and business model—and how to know which one is holding you back

• Why you need permission to build your business differently (and how I had to give that to myself)

• The importance of energy and cyclical awareness in time management, especially for women balancing business, motherhood, and life

• How recurring revenue and strong systems can help you break free from the feast-or-famine cycle

• The myth of "doing it all" and why building a business that doesn't depend solely on you is essential for growth and well-being

• The value of mentorship, community, and learning from others' experiences

Let's dive in!
