1219: I Didn’t Need More Strategy, I Nee...

Hosted by Heather Chauvin | Insights inspired by Mel Robbins, Bréne Brown,
About this episode

“I realized I didn’t need more strategy... I needed more capacity.”

What happens when your business is thriving, but you feel like you're barely surviving?

In this episode, Heather sits down with entrepreneur and mother Jessica Marx for a raw conversation about burnout, buying back your time, and learning to lead at home the same way you lead in your company. Jessica shares how her son’s neurodivergent diagnosis pushed her to radically redefine success and why building wealth means nothing if you don’t feel well.

In this episode, they discuss:

🩶How motherhood can force the clarity most entrepreneurs avoid

🩶Why capacity—not hustle—is the key to sustainable growth

🩶The unconventional therapies that changed Jessica’s family life

If you’ve ever felt like the success you built is running you into the ground, this conversation will help you reclaim your power—and your peace.
