The reality of running a business is that it takes a lot of work. Now, is it worth it? 150%! I absolutely love what I do and love being able to work with my hubs, Walker, and our amazing team. However, it does get under my skin a bit when people assume that I just play on Instagram and make recipes all day. Sure, Instagram is part of my job and so is recipe development, but that's just a snippet of my life as a wellness entrepreneur and it took working nights, weekends and hustling my tushie off over 10 years to get to where I am today.
I've also learned a lot over those 10 years about carving out time for rest, because as I came to discover, you can't keep going and going, no matter how much you love something, without burning out. You need to allow your body time to rest, relax and rejuvenate.
Since there are many incredibly talented and brilliant wellness entrepreneurs in the Joyous community, I wanted to share this episode I recorded with Vitina Blumenthal on her podcast, the Soul Compass Podcast. I hope that it will help many of you find your definition of "balance" so you can continue to do what you love to do every day without burning out!
