Ashleigh Henry

I’d love to say I’ve avoided burnout, but like many entrepreneurs I’ve waltzed with her a few times. In the corporate world and startup culture, it seemed nearly inescapable. While I was running my own social media and lead generation agency for female founders I found myself consistently pushing and pulling with burnout, hoping that one day things would slow down enough for us to take our foot off the gas.

In the early days of building my business, I was a classic “yes” person. Every opportunity felt like it could be the opportunity, so I said yes to everything, thinking that hustle was the only path forward. As my coaching practice grew, I kept expanding my programs to accommodate every client’s needs and schedule preferences. The problem?

For me to overcome being burnt out i try to revamp my talents as much as i can. Because i am a musician i have different avenues for this such as changing my melodies, cadence, or overall trying different genres of music to try. For others i would advice just trying to keep everything fun. It’s hard to get burn out on something if you’re having fun. Read More>>

After getting home from a day of taking pictures or recording videos, I like to take a day to process and recover from my adventures. This little break allows me to review and edit my pictures/videos with a clear mind. When I start to feel burnout creeping in, I shift my creativity into a different direction. Mandala coloring books or diamond art paintings are generally my go-tos. I like to write once in a while, as well.  Read More>>

To be honest, I didn’t completely avoid burnout—I walked through it. As a mother, a wife, and the owner of The Story, every single event was under my care. That meant 365 days of constant movement, emotions, and responsibilities. Read More>>

For me, the important component in avoiding burnout is moderation. Sometimes you can get so fixated on the goal that you get on the wrong path or pulled into the weeds. If I find myself losing focus on the path, I take a step back and relax. Often the best solution only comes when you stop the tunnel vision that often happens when you are too fixated. Read More>>

Balancing a full-time job, running my business, and being a mom can be a lot, but I’ve found some ways to avoid burnout.

I set clear boundaries, so when I’m working, I focus, and when I’m with my family, I’m present. Prioritizing tasks each week helps me focus on what’s important and not get overwhelmed by smaller stuff. Read More>>
