Having a Life While Building a Business with Suzanne Acteson

SHOW NOTES: Episode 105

When you are building a business, it can seem hard to balance life and work.

We had Suzanne Acteson on to share more about having a life while building a business. Suzanne is a business coach and she has created the life-first business model which helps to add in authenticity and joy into your life as an entrepreneur.

Running a blog as a business might feel stressful and time-consuming at times. Many entrepreneurs find themselves working more than they did when they had traditional jobs. Suzanne shares how her life-first approach can help bloggers regain control of their schedules and prioritize what truly matters to them.

We talked more about the significance of regulating the nervous system for overall well-being. She explained that high levels of anxiety, stress, and burnout are indicators of nervous system dysregulation. She encourages you to find activities that align with your nervous system’s needs.
