How I Burnt Out Chasing the ‘Boss Babe’ Dream

We were sold the dream: rise early, hustle hard, build the empire, and smile while doing it. I bought into it and it broke me. Burnout, exhaustion, and that quiet shame of wondering if maybe I just wasn’t built for success.But here’s the truth: the hustle wasn’t broken because of me, it was broken because it was never designed for women like us to thrive. In this episode, I share how I chased the “boss babe” myth until it nearly swallowed me whole, and the blueprint I follow now: building big business without sacrificing joy, softness, or my sanity.If you’ve ever thought “success means suffering first,” I want you to hear this: you can scale, expand, and lead without self-betrayal.
