This episode is real, raw, and a little personal. I wasn’t planning to get sick, but life had other plans—and it reminded me of one powerful truth: if you can’t step away from your business without everything crumbling, you don’t have a business… you have a job.

I want to let you in on what happened when I hit a wall—physically and mentally. I had three back-to-back events, coaching calls lined up, team responsibilities, and I was also celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary. And just like that, my body said "Not today."

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to lead your business when you're not at 100%. I’ll walk you through how I navigated being completely out of commission and still kept things running—without the burnout or guilt.

💡 Things I Cover in This Episode:

The truth about why most entrepreneurs burn out—and how to avoid it
The 3 P’s of Leading from the Sidelines
How to identify and delegate your Red Zone Tasks
Why building your bench is non-negotiable (even for solo agents)
My go-to automations and tools that kept the business moving
Why rest is not retreat—it’s a growth strategy

I’m also dropping 5 tactical strategies that you can start using this week to future-proof your business and step into your true CEO role—even when you're forced to hit pause.

🚨 Ask yourself this: If you had to step away tomorrow, would your business keep running?

If this episode gave you a mindset shift or strategy you needed—don’t keep it to yourself.
👉 Share it with someone who’s in the hustle and might need the reminder that rest is a strategy.

Let’s keep the conversation going—because you don’t have to do this alone.
