When you think about your business lately, what feels most exhausting?

Being available to everyone and feeling responsible for how they feel.

Constantly thinking, analyzing, questioning, and trying to make the right decision.

Having too much to do, too many ideas, and too many things I'm responsible for.

Feeling disconnected from the excitement, creativity, or purpose I used to feel.

Someone asks you for something when you're already stretched thin. What's your instinct?

“I'll figure it out. I don't want to let them down.”

“Let me think about it. I need to make sure I'm making the right choice.”

“I really don't have room for this... but maybe I can squeeze it in.”

“I honestly don't even know what I have the energy for anymore.”

When you have a free afternoon with nothing you have to do, what tends to happen?

I find myself checking on other people, answering messages, or finding something useful to do.

My mind immediately starts running through everything I could or should be doing.

I remember ten things I've been putting off and start working on them.

I feel strangely flat, restless, or disconnected instead of refreshed.

Which thought sounds most familiar right now?

“I give so much, and I'm not sure where I'm supposed to get my energy back.”

“I just need to figure out what the right thing to do is.”

“If I could just catch up, then I'd finally be able to breathe.”

“I remember when this felt exciting. What happened to that feeling?”

What's your relationship with saying “no”?

I struggle because I don't want to disappoint, hurt, or abandon anyone.

I question whether saying no is actually the right decision.

I say yes even when my calendar and capacity clearly say no.

I sometimes don't even know what I want to say yes or no to anymore.

When you're faced with an important business decision, you tend to...

Think about how the decision will affect everyone else.

Research, analyze, ask for opinions, and keep thinking about it.

Consider all the different possibilities and how each one might affect everything else you're doing.

Struggle to connect with what you actually want.

Which statement best describes your current energy?

I have energy for other people, but struggle to prioritize myself.

My body may be tired, but my mind rarely switches off.

My energy is scattered because I'm constantly moving between tasks and responsibilities.

I feel depleted in a deeper way—like I've lost touch with my spark.

What happens when you try to rest?

I feel guilty that I'm not doing something for someone else or my business.

My mind keeps working even when my body is resting.

I start mentally organizing everything I need to get done when I get back to work.

I rest, but don't necessarily feel nourished or restored.

If your business could speak to you right now, what do you think it would say?

“You don't have to carry everyone.”

“You already know more than you think you do. Trust yourself.”

“We don't have to do all of this at once.”

"Come back to why you started.”

Deep down, what do you most want right now?

To give from a place of fullness instead of constantly pouring from an empty cup.

To trust myself and feel confident in my decisions again.

To create space, simplify, and have energy for what actually matters.

To feel inspired, connected, creative, and like myself again.
