STRIPPED Podcast EP 02: I Built a Business *That Felt Like Work*—Big Mistake

stripped podcast Apr 01, 2025

I built a business that looked good on paper. I was making money, working with great clients & doing something I was good at… but it never TRULY lit me up or felt sustainable in the long-run. And ignoring that? Big mistake.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

  • Why forcing what’s “practical” or "logical" over what brings you JOY will burn you out
  • The wake-up call that made me rethink everything
  • What I’m shifting to now (it's not THAT big of an adjustment, but made a HUGE difference) & why it matters

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a career, business or life that technically “works”, but secretly drains you—this one’s for you. Let’s talk about the cost of ignoring what actually lights you up.
