If the grind’s getting heavy, stop and take the hint. Fatigue isn’t failure, it’s the business sending you a signal.

In this episode, Caroline and I get practical about how fatigue creeps into decisions, strains the relationship and quietly taxes growth and what to do before it bites.

You’ll learn to spot the early tells, swap judgment for curiosity, and run our 10-minute Gains & Drains to take pressure off and put energy back in.

You’ll walk away with a simple weekly rhythm to reset focus, protect your partnership and lead with a clear head, without trading away your freedom or sanity.

If the business feels heavier than it should, take this as a nudge to pause, recalibrate and build a business that sustains you.

Listen in and take back the freedom, clarity, and energy you started this journey for in the first place.
