Send us Fan MailAbout | Achieve Your Goals Today — Chanda Co. StrategistEpisode Summary:What if the key to success isn’t doing more—but doing what actually fits your life?In this episode of This Magic Life, I sit down with business strategist, U.S. Navy veteran, and mom of five, Chanda Coston, to talk about what it really looks like to build a business without burning out.Chanda shares her journey from military service to corporate leadership to entrepreneurship—and the powerful lesson she learned along the way: your business should align with your life, not compete with it.We talk about the concept of “seasons of life” and why so many women feel overwhelmed trying to match someone else’s pace or version of success. Chanda breaks down how misalignment shows up (hello, exhaustion and resentment), and how to recognize when it’s time to pause, pivot, or simply slow down.This conversation is a grounding reminder that building something meaningful doesn’t have to come at the expense of your well-being, your family, or yourself.In this episode, we cover:Why aligning your business with your current life season is everythingThe subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of burnout and misalignmentHow to conduct a personal “life audit” to understand your true capacityWhy consistency matters more than rapid growthHow to stop chasing someone else’s version of success and trust your own pathIf you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to do it all—and wondering why it feels so heavy—this episode will feel like a deep exhale.Because the goal isn’t just to build a successful business…It’s to build a life you actually want to live.This episode of This Magic Life is sponsored by Knead Obscura LLC - Edith Harris.
