Burnout Is Real—Here’s How I Reset as a Small Business Owner

Spoiler: running a business is exhausting.
Between social media, payroll, inventory, and just trying to stay afloat—it’s easy to burn out. Here’s how I’ve learned to actually reset:

• I schedule rest. No, really. I put “do nothing” on my calendar.

• I set boundaries. The boutique doesn’t get my energy 24/7. Neither do DMs.

• I take inspiration breaks. A museum, a walk, a coffee shop with a vibe—yes, it counts.

• I lean on my community. Fellow biz owners and supportive customers keep me going.

• I remember my “why.” This started as a dream. I protect it like one.

You can’t pour from an empty cup—and if you’re a fellow biz owner, consider this your reminder to refill yours.
