Ever feel like you’re living two lives — the reliable 9–5 woman and the ambitious founder quietly building her empire before and after work?
In today’s episode, I am breaking down what it really looks like to be a female founder working a 9–5 while managing energy, structure, and mindset—without burning out or feeding toxic hustle culture.
A realistic “day in the life” of juggling a job + a business
Why energy zoning beats time management every time
The self-care habits that keep high achievers grounded
The identity shift from employee → CEO (yes, even if you still have a boss)
