Healthy, Tired, and Building a Business Anyway

Mid-January check-in, and a lot has shifted.In this episode, I share what it was like landing in the ER over winter break with double vision, being told I’m “healthy, just tired,” and what changed when I chose to actually listen to my body instead of pushing through.I talk about honoring rest, riding unexpected waves of energy, and launching my very first in-person emotional co-regulation support series in Texas, three families signed up, entirely through word of mouth. No ads. No hype. Just people talking about what they’ve experienced.I reflect on getting a 97% on my first major assessment in the One Day MBA, unpack the complicated feelings that came with that number, and how different this moment feels compared to my school experiences growing up.We also get real about the behind-the-scenes work, learning to tolerate and eventually appreciate data, go-to-market plans, CRMs, heat maps, and tracking what actually works versus what drains energy. Plus a transparent look at hours worked, money earned so far, and what “progress” really looks like in real life.This episode is raw, reflective, and very much in process, motherhood, business, school, partnership, and nervous-system care all happening at once.If you’re building something while holding a lot, this one’s for you.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Curious about Oneday MBA — the program I talk about throughout this show?Check it out here: https://oneday.org/us/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=jessica-brittani-referralSubscribe so you don't miss the messy middle of building a business as a mom.Calm & Colorful: https://www.calmandcolorful.comJoin the free Calm & Colorful Circle community for founders + mamas building alongside meIf this episode resonated, please leave a review — it helps other founder moms find this podcast.#FounderMom #OnedayMBA #WomenInBusiness #PodcastForMoms #CustomerDiscovery
