I Girlbossed Too Close to the Sun

from Pretty Philosophical · host Pretty Philosophical with Denée Seaton

Realign your obsession here (waitlist). For years, I believed that hard work alone would solve everything. It did help me build a freelance business, pay off debt, and relocate internationally. However, obsession is a double-edged sword. In this episode, I discuss the true cost of hard work, the balance between discipline and burnout, and how to pursue ambition without losing yourself. If you're starting a one-person business, freelancing for the first time, or dreaming big amidst doubts, this episode is for you. Remember, balance is a lie, and obsession must be aligned to be effective. 0:00: Intro2:03: My ‘girl boss’ journey3:33: The tension4:27: I neglected my friends6:17: The lie they sold us about balance8:07: Redefining burnout10:22: Building YOUR version of success13:16: Final words for the ambitious ones #freelancing #ambition #burnout #balance #success #girlboss See show notes: https://inlet.fm/denee/episodes/686c0bec512822c68da7d567 Learn more about your ad choices.
