What happens when you hit the financial goals…but realize you still can't slow down?
This episode was sparked by a business owner who had been in practice for five years, was financially successful, but felt like she still couldn't step back, stop grinding or really enjoy what she'd built.
It got us thinking about the three very different seasons of PelvicSanity over the last 10 years—and how our definition of a successful business has changed along the way.
In this episode, we talk about:
🚀 Season 1: Growth — 80-hour weeks, rapid growth and proving the business could actually work.
🧑💼 Season 2: Leadership — Learning (sometimes the hard way) that doing everything ourselves wasn't sustainable—and that leading by example isn't actually enough.
⏰ Season 3: Time Freedom — Deliberately building a business that no longer depends on us being there every day.
🏝️ Why we regret not taking more vacations during the early years—and don't believe working every Saturday was responsible for our success.
📈 The realization that how much the business makes isn't directly tied to how much we work.
🧠 Why after years of being rewarded for grinding, stepping back is a skill you have to learn.
✋ And why sometimes you can't wait until you feel ready to slow down. You have to create the boundary first, see what breaks, and then build the systems to fix it.
Your business will go through seasons. The way you built it doesn't have to be the way you run it forever.
And if you've realized the business you've created isn't giving you the life you actually want, that doesn't mean building a business was a mistake. It means it's time to build the next version of it.
