Hey Product Bosses! I want to share something really powerful with you today—especially if you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or like your business has taken over your life. I recently sat down with Karen Steuer of Tangled Roots Herbal, and what unfolded was one of the most honest and courageous coaching sessions I’ve had in a while. Karen built a six-figure retail business from the ground up, but it came at the cost of her well-being. She was burning out, and she knew something had to give.
WHEN THE BUSINESS YOU BUILT NO LONGER FEELS GOOD—HERE’S WHAT TO DO
In our conversation, Karen opened up about how hard it was to walk away from her retail space—even though she knew it wasn’t sustainable. And I get it. When we build something from scratch, it can feel like giving up to walk away. But it’s not. It’s brave. Together, we started mapping out how she could rebuild online in a way that feels aligned, balanced, and—most importantly—doable.
I coached Karen through what it really means to rebuild with intention. We talked about how to trust yourself when you’re in an uncertain season, how to shift from burnout to clarity, and how to reimagine a business that supports your life (instead of consuming it). She didn’t need to start over from scratch—she just needed a fresh foundation that aligned with her new goals.
And I want that for you, too. If your business feels like it’s running you, not the other way around, maybe it’s time to press pause and ask yourself: What kind of business do I really want? You get to design this. You get to pivot. And I promise, just like Karen, you can rebuild something even better.
