I’m going big this quarter. I’ve set myself a bold goal, and I’ve got a hard deadline with a trip to Thailand at the end of the year. But I refuse to let my business growth come at the cost of my wellbeing. 

So, in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’m actually supporting myself right now: the mindset shifts, the boundaries, and the small but powerful practices that are making the momentum sustainable. 

Plus, I also have a free masterclass to help you boost your own Q4 sales with gentle, human-first AI shortcuts - without burning out - happening October 15th at ruthpoundwhite.com/workshop.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

  • The questions I'm asking myself and the support I have from others to help me recommit to my goal
  • Why making quicker decisions has become one of my biggest forms of self-support (and how I knocked out a bunch of tasks I'd been putting off for months!)
  • 3 key questions I want you to answer to support your own success

💭 [7:02] "Doing more makes me feel safe, it makes me feel worthy, it makes me feel valuable, and I think it also makes me feel in control. So therefore, like, my lack of boundaries really isn't just about having too much to do. It's about being afraid of what happens if I'm not doing."

💭 [16:56] "The wrong decision is usually not deciding at all because it takes up space in your head."

💭 [17:37] "I hope that you realize that it is still possible."
