From Burnout to Balance: Tanya Hagre’s Business Philosophy

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Tanya Hagre, a remote business mentor and seven-figure strategist in the e-commerce space, to explore her journey from a decade-long career in healthcare and public health to building a flexible, purpose-driven business. After realizing that the traditional corporate path didn’t align with the life she envisioned, Tanya began building on the side—despite early failures, including losing everything in a brick-and-mortar franchise. Through persistence and reinvention, she eventually found her niche in e-commerce and mentoring, creating a business model centered on sustainability, freedom, and long-term growth.Tanya shares her philosophy on building “recession-proof” income without burnout, emphasizing financial awareness, intentional living, and creating additional income streams without unnecessary risk. She explains her shift away from one-on-one coaching toward scalable mentorship and partnerships, allowing her to serve more people while maintaining balance. The conversation also highlights her organic approach to growth through relationships, personal branding, and evolving connection strategies—from in-person networking to LinkedIn and now podcasting—reminding us that success is not about speed, but alignment, consistency, and living a life that truly feels good.
