We want you to thrive in execution of your content by practicing simple self-care practices without shame or guilt. Burnout in the online industry is real — it’s not just a 9-5 corporate problem. We discuss how you can redefine the concept of self-care and balance in your life while managing your digital success. Michelle shares her candid personal journey through the overwhelming world of burnout. You may relate to her experience of running a business solo, the pressure we put on ourselves, and the disconnection it can cause between what really matters. You may discover that a self-care routine can be a band-aid solution for deeper issues. We’ll deconstruct the complexities of self-care, emphasizing how it can quickly transform into an unhealthy coping mechanism if not exercised mindfully. Learn the truth that taking care of yourself extends beyond the bubble baths and spa days, and delve into the often overlooked basics such as hydration and sleep. Michelle shares why believing balance isn’t possible is actually the thing stopping you from experiencing it and how to create effective behavior change in your life. We're not just guides on this journey; we're fellow travelers, each finding our way through the chaos that can be life, sharing insights, and learning from each other. Together, let's redefine self-care and balance.Time Stamps:05:31 - The Concept of Burnout and Self-Identity10:55 - The True Essence of Self-Care17:30 - Business Balance21:15 - The Impossibility of Balance26:46 - Reorganizing for Work-Life Balance31:29 - Starting Self-Care and Achieving Balance36:37 - Achieving Balance Through Behavior Change46:31 - Control Time and Mindset References & Resources:Creator Elyse Myers: https://www.instagram.com/elyse_myers/?hl=en FREE Guide Preventing Burnout for the Digital Entrepreneur: https://michellepualani.com/self-care-planner30-Day FREE Trial to Kajabi: https://app.kajabi.com/r/2PrVLdwK/t/eubpx7mx  Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clickteasepodcast📱 Social: @themichellepualani | @joanna_atwork📩 Michelle: [email protected]🌐 Joanna: millennialmktr.com📅 10-Day Course Creation Challenge (Joanna) 💻 Build a Successful Online Business Using Kajabi 🎙️ Get Descript for Podcasting ✅ Try Out Monday.com
