037: Why I’m Not Hustling Through Summer (And What I’m Doing Instead)
Tired of the hustle mindset that never takes a vacation?
In this short solo episode, I’m sharing exactly how I’m approaching summer differently this year. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin—or like your business is running you—these 4 shifts are designed to bring you back to what matters.
It’s not about doing less for the sake of it. It’s about doing what actually works for your life and your business.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
✅ Why I’m switching up my podcast format (and how it helps you, too)
✅ How setting summer office hours is helping me reclaim my time
✅ How ChatGPT is helping me parent with more ease (and way less stress)
✅ The one business activity I’m focusing on this summer—and why it works
3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1️⃣ Simplify the season. Fewer goals, clearer focus—and a whole lot more space to breathe.
2️⃣ Communicate your boundaries. Summer office hours and OOO messages protect your time and your energy.
3️⃣ Lead gen is your low-lift win. It keeps your business warm and ready, even if you’re only working part-time.
