A lot of women in business assume boundary struggl A lot of women in business assume boundary struggles mean they need more discipline.

Better systems.
Stricter rules.
More willpower.

But most of the women I talk to are already capable, thoughtful, and deeply invested in their work.

They don’t struggle because they don’t know what to do.
They struggle because being reliable, helpful, and available has been part of who they’ve always been.

So when boundaries start to feel uncomfortable, it’s not because something is wrong.
It’s because something familiar is being challenged.

And that’s worth paying attention to.

Valentine’s Day gets a lot of attention for romant Valentine’s Day gets a lot of attention for romantic relationships.

But I think it’s also a good moment to pause and ask a quieter question.

Does the business you’re building support your life
or constantly pull you away from it?

Does it leave room for rest, presence, and creativity
or does it rely on you being “on” all the time?

This isn’t about perfection.
And it’s not about balance in the neat, Instagram sense.

It’s about building something that respects your energy, your time, and the season you’re in.

Because you’re allowed to want success and sustainability.
You’re allowed to build a business that works with your life, not against it.

Today, I’m feeling grateful.

Grateful for a season that feels more aligned.
For work that matters to me, and people I genuinely love working with.
For a business that’s grown in a way that supports my life, not competing with it.

I don’t take that for granted.

It’s come from a lot of learning, some hard conversations, and choosing to build something intentionally instead of urgently.

Today just feels like a good day to appreciate the season you’re in, wherever that might be, and to offer a little permission to want success that still leaves room for peace.

Happy Valentine’s Day 🤍

There’s a point in business where “being busy” sta There’s a point in business where “being busy” starts to feel different.

Not chaotic.
Not out of control.
Just… heavy.

You’re capable.
You know how to make things work.
And because of that, it can be hard to tell when you’re actually at capacity versus just pushing through out of habit.

This is the stage where a lot of women quietly overextend themselves.
Not because they don’t know better, but because they don’t want to disappoint, fall behind, or lose momentum.

In this week’s In the EllaMents podcast episode, I talk about how to recognize when you’re truly too busy to take on more work and why that awareness matters more than productivity tips or better time management.

If you’ve been wondering whether your plate is full… or just uncomfortable to look at, this episode is for you.

This is for the woman who looks capable on the out This is for the woman who looks capable on the outside...
but quietly wonders if she’s stretching herself thinner than she should.

Nothing is falling apart.
But everything feels urgent.

We talk about how to recognize capacity before burnout forces the decision, and how to tell the difference between growth and overextension.

If you’re feeling pressure to say yes and unsure if you should, this one’s for you.

For a long time, I didn’t think I was over capacit For a long time, I didn’t think I was over capacity.

I was keeping up.
Clients were happy.
Work was coming in.
Nothing was actively falling apart.

But the first things to go weren’t deadlines or deliverables — they were mine.

My own content.
My creative thinking.
My energy at home.

I found myself working nights and weekends, not because I planned to, but because everything felt urgent and I was constantly trying to catch up.

That was my first real signal.

Not that I was incapable.
Not that I was failing.
But that I was stretching myself thinner than I was meant to.

What I’m learning is this:
capacity doesn’t announce itself loudly. It shows up quietly — in the things that start slipping away.

And when that happens, it’s not something to power through.
It’s something to pay attention to.

We tend to assume that feeling overwhelmed means w We tend to assume that feeling overwhelmed means we need to work harder, get more organized, or manage our time better.

But a lot of the women I talk to aren’t disorganized or behind.

They’re capable.
They’re responsible.
They care deeply about what they’re building.

And that’s exactly why capacity issues can be hard to spot.

They don’t show up as missed deadlines or obvious overwhelm.
They show up as constant urgency.
Mental load.
Decision fatigue.
The quiet sense that everything needs your attention at once.

That’s not a discipline problem.
It’s information.

And learning to recognize it early can change how you make decisions before exhaustion or burnout makes them for you.
