Why Side Hustles Don’t Cure Burnout for Healthcare Women
WARNING: This one is NOT for everyone! Proceed with caution ⚠️
If you've been in my world for a bit you'll know I have a love/hate relationship with the idea of side hustles.
On one hand, my previous "side hustle" turned kinda whole thing has allowed me to build a flexible, family-oriented, self-care heavy business where I get to help women in healthcare create peaceful, balanced, healthy lives for themselves. Love that for us.
On the other hand, I've had a TON of women in healthcare come to me massively struggling with business-building burnout BECAUSE someone promised them that starting their *own thing* would alleviate their healthcare burnout by giving them *freedom.* 🙄
This is a problem. lol. Tbh I think I've coached more women in healthcare OUT of running a business than starting one for one very specific reason.
They didn't actually want to run a business!
They wanted to help, coach, teach, create, lead, share, and serve.
There is a LOT more that goes into running a business - a lot of kinda boring, scary, technical, risky stuff that might not be great for everyone's nervous system.
If you ever thought that starting a business would "help your burnout" I beg you to listen to THIS PODCAST I recorded a couple months ago! TLDL: You have to heal your burnout separately - building a business will not fix burnout!!
Ok - now if you've made it this far and you've listened to my warning podcast above and you are still curious about starting a business of your dreams (scary, risky, techy stuff included)... then I want to share a project I've been working on!
I put the 30 most important lessons I've learned from 6+ years of running a highly profitable *healthy for me* and *majorly valuable for my clients* business into a super simple email series.
Just a little burst of biz building wisdom in your inbox for 30 days.
PS: If you want to just jump right in and get started on building a super healthy side hustle I have a self-study course about this - you can start any time!
