128: Day in the Life of a Busy Founder While Working a 9 to 5 ( without burn out)

Ever feel like you’re living two lives — the reliable 9–5 woman and the ambitious founder quietly building her empire before and after work? In today’s episode, I am breaking down what it really looks like to be a female founder working a 9–5 while managing energy, structure, and mindset—without burning out or feeding toxic hustle culture. A realistic “day in the life” of juggling a job + a business Why energy zoning beats time management every time The self-care habits that keep high achievers grounded The identity shift from employee → CEO (yes, even if you still have a boss) Today we are sponsored by HUEL: On those packed mornings when breakfast feels optional, I reach for Huel Black Edition RTD—a complete meal with 35g protein, 27 vitamins + minerals, and zero added sugar.
