That article I wrote about being 'meh'... I didn't have the full story.

What happens when the bad days don't end? When you are feeling well and truly burnt out and nothing is working?Nearly 6 months ago I recorded a podcast episode for when you are feeling a bit 'meh'. https://startuptogrownup.substack.com/p/not-just-a-bad-day-6-tips-for-whenWhilst the advice I shared back then was very valid and still valid, it wasn't deep enough for what was going to take me from burnt out with Fibro to learning to live with my condition AND grow my business. In the episode I revisit and reframe the advice I shared when the change you are facing (medical or otherwise) is permanent not temporary.What you'll learn in the podcast episode:- How to redefine 'showing up' and swap the hustle mentality for intentional action, especially when your energy is limited.- The crucial difference between 'phoning a friend' and 'finding your people', and why your support system might need to change.- Why journaling might not be enough, and how tracking simple data points can give you back a sense of control over your wellbeing.- A powerful mindset shift to move from waiting for the storm to pass to finding ways to live well within it.- An honest look at the ongoing grief that comes with a chronic condition and how acknowledging it is a vital act of self-compassion.Chapters05:55 Building a Scalable Business Model11:12 Embracing Change and Evolving Your RoleRelated episodes:Not just a bad day? 6 tips for when life (and business) feels "meh"https://startuptogrownup.substack.com/p/not-just-a-bad-day-6-tips-for-whenWhy we feel the compulsion to overwork (and how to stop): https://startuptogrownup.substack.com/p/7-reasons-you-are-overworking-and?r=l8khyThe science behind why you wouldn't delegate: https://startuptogrownup.substack.com/p/the-science-behind-why-you-wont-delegate?r=l8khyWhat I did next when my rheumatologist told me I was broken: https://startuptogrownup.substack.com/p/what-i-did-next-when-my-rheumatologist?r=l8khyUseful links:- sign up as a paid subscriber and use this link to get 20% off an annual membership of Start Up To Grown UpWelcome to a free podcast episode of Start Up To Grown Up: Your source for ideas, insights and tactics to take back control of your business and scale it sustainably and profitably by Heather Townsend, award-winning author of The Accountants’ Millionaires’ Club and Founder of The Accountants’ Growth ClubEach episode of the Start Up To Growth Up Podcast is based on my weekly Substack Article on the same topic.
