I’ve been where you are: working hard to build a business while feeling stretched thin, unsure how to set limits, and wondering if it is even possible to grow without burning out.

For over a decade, I ran a thriving service-based business. Early on, I said yes to everything, worked nights and weekends, and convinced myself that being constantly available was just part of being good at what I do.

Then I hit a wall.

The stress was literally killing me. I was chronically ill, my hair fell out (yes, all of it) and I was exhausted all of the time. The kicker was that I started my business to have more freedom and flexibility and instead I felt chained to my work.

I knew there was no way I could keep going at that pace. If I was going to keep my business I needed to completely overhaul the way I was working.

I started by setting boundaries. I learned to communicate clearly (and I mean over-the-top crystal clear) about timelines and scope. I figured out that my emotional intelligence mattered more than just about every other skill I had, so I leaned into that to build and strengthen relationships. I dropped the notion that I always needed to be the smartest person in the room and started leveraging the talents of others to my benefit. I completely re-built my business into one that worked around my life [not the other way around]: one that gave me the freedom to be fully offline when I say I’m offline.

Now I want to help you do the same thing. I named this Build Something Wild, because building a business totally on your terms feels wild. The freedom and the ability to say no and mean it seems impossible until you’re living it. The tools and strategies I share are designed to help you build your own version of sustainable [and WILD].
