EP 10: Building A Business Without Sacrificing Self-Care with Kris Yeo

Sometimes you realize the pace you’ve been moving just isn’t working anymore. Life gets full, your body feels it, and you know it’s time to slow down and check in... That’s where this episode began.Today I’m joined by Kris Yeo - a plus-size model, stepmom, business owner, and co-host of the “Blonde Highlights” podcast. She champions self-love, body acceptance, and helping women build the confidence to show up fully in their lives.Kris and I dropped into a really grounded conversation about the invisible weight women carry, the pressure to over-function, and the moment when your body deeply asks you to finally slow down... We explored what it looks like to build a business without losing yourself, how to navigate partnership under stress, and the deep recalibration that happens when you stop saying yes to everything.A big theme we kept circling back to was the turning point in a woman’s life - the moment she starts choosing herself again. The moment she realizes she can’t keep pushing past her limits, and she begins creating boundaries that actually support her well-being, her relationships, and her work.The medicine of this episode will help you feel seen in your own season of soul shifting and slowing down, and encourage you to walk away with self-gifted permission to honor your energy in entirely new ways.We also talk about: What it’s really like to build a business with your husband How to create boundaries with customers, clients, and expectations Why self-care doesn’t have to be complicated or performativeThe emotional weight women carry in entrepreneurship Returning to yourself after burnout or over-giving What confidence looks like when it’s built from the insideEpisode-related Links: Check out the Lauren of Love blog post for this episode!Lauren of Love Resources:Join the Magic App: ⁠laurenoflove.com/app⁠Freebies, courses, blog: ⁠laurenoflove.com⁠IG: @laurenoflove,⁠ ⁠⁠@theworldneedsyourmedicine⁠⁠⁠Grab our free Manifestation Sheets!⁠⁠Join our weekly Magic Notes insiders list!Guest Resources:IG: @krisyeoBlonde Highlights Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/blonde-highlightsBrands Featured in our Launch Giveaway:Astro planner and journal from ⁠⁠@magic_of_i⁠⁠Mushroom support from ⁠⁠@goldenrulemushrooms⁠⁠Hair, longevity, and gut health by ⁠⁠@joiwomenswellness⁠⁠Dream support and self love candles ⁠⁠@animamundiherbals⁠⁠Ceremonial cacao from ⁠⁠@keithscacao⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@cacaoceremony⁠⁠Spirit mamas oracle by ⁠⁠@victoriamargauxnielsen⁠⁠Chips by ⁠⁠@masa_chips⁠⁠Oils from ⁠⁠@vibrantblueoils⁠⁠Medicine from ⁠⁠@fourvisionstribe⁠⁠Supplement Gummies from ⁠⁠@curednutrition⁠⁠Hype Women by ⁠⁠@erin.gallag.her ⁠
