About this episode
This episode discusses emotional burnout in entrepreneurs and the importance of self-care and boundaries for sustainable business growth.
Do you ever feel like anxiety is running your life and business? From the outside, your business may look successful, yet internally, you feel exhausted, stretched thin, and disconnected from yourself. Entrepreneurship doesn’t just demand strategy; it demands your energy, heart, capacity, and sometimes, your identity. In this deeply personal episode, Melissa Kay shares what the past year has taught her about recovering from emotional burnout and why self-care for entrepreneurs isn’t selfish, it’s strategic. Melissa is joined by her personal life coach, Robin Berning, who has helped her set boundaries with clarity and peace while staying aligned as a leader.

Robin Berning has over 30 years of experience in the wellness industry…
