Avoiding Burnout in Business: Toby Myles & Brandi Holder on Making Peace a Daily Practice

Check Out These Highlights: Brandi reflects on the seed that started her entrepreneurial path: her late husband’s encouragement to work for herself instead of climbing the corporate ladder. That shift revealed her natural curiosity and drive to question systems, even when it made her a “bad employee” in rigid corporate environments. She opens up about one of the hardest moments of her life; standing at the podium for her husband’s eulogy while her phone buzzed with work calls. That painful disconnect between her values and her reality became the catalyst for reshaping her business and life. Brandi shares how she now helps founders and small teams untangle their strengths, values, and energy so they can grow without burning out. We talk about the importance of humor, curiosity, and self‑trust, why social media narratives can distort reality, and how she guides clients to “out‑evidence” the limiting stories holding them back. Her story is a reminder that entrepreneurship exposes every weakness, but it also offers the chance to build businesses that support life, not cost it.
