Reset Complete: The Tea on 2024 and What’s New for 2025
Let’s just call 2024 what it was: a hot mess. On the outside, things looked fine—clients were getting served, projects were moving, and my agency was coming along. But on the inside?
Can You Be Too Honest With Your Clients?
I've decided to be transparent with my clients about my struggles. I've found that it's helped me to build trust with them and to avoid unrealistic expectations. It's also been helpful to have their support when I'm feeling overwhelmed or unfocused. Of course, there have been some challenges. I've lost a few clients along the way.
Immediately No
Living with ADHD, depression, and anxiety is like juggling a circus of emotions on a tightrope. So, when I'm hit with this unexplainable lack of motivation, it's like trying to solve a mystery without any clues. I find myself questioning the source of this sudden change. Is it boredom? Depression? Burnout? Or perhaps it's an unexpected blend of all three, conspiring against my creative genius.
The Burnout is real
The day starts at 6:50 am and more often than not, the day ends well after midnight. While I love having the time freedom of running my own business, let's be clear my days are completely at capacity. Every day there is no shortage of client and team calls, client projects, administrative tasks for the business, and mommy, and wife duties. Running a business while supporting a family is no walk in the park, and often times women frequently experience overwhelming feelings of burnout.
