    #144 Why Your Business Feels Heavy (and How To Fix It)

    The "Success" Trap No One Talks About.   From the outside, you've made it. Revenue is up, clients are happy, and the business is growing. But internally? It feels heavy. You're mentally replaying client calls at dinner, absorbing their stress, and wondering if "scaling" just means more weight on your shoulders.   In this video, I'm pulling back the curtain on why successful businesses start to feel draining. It's not a mindset issue or a lack of motivation—it's a structural one.   What we're covering: - The "Over-functioning Founder" trap (and why it stalls your growth). - Responsibility Clarity: What you are actually responsible for vs. what you've been carrying. - How to return the leadership to your clients so they get better results (and you get your life back). - 3 simple shifts to stop "emotional vigilance" in your business. - Scaling isn't about pushing harder; it's about building a business that no longer requires you to carry every single piece of it.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: ✨ FREE WORKSHOP: Ready to redesign your business for growth without the burnout?
