Still figuring it out
Welcome to Still figuring it out.
A blog that shares real talk about running a business (without the fluff).
It’s about everything that goes on behind-the-scenes of running a business—mindset, boundaries, strategy, processes, and yep… finances too.

The trick isn’t doing more, it’s learning to build your business like muscle with structure, recovery, and the kind of discipline that actually fits your life.

Boundaries aren’t just about “self-care”, they’re the cheapest productivity tool you’re not using. In this blog, I’m calling out the bad habits that keep business owners chained to their work, showing you exactly what it’s costing you and sharing the boundaries I use every day to protect my time, energy and focus.
