You Need To Take A Break
“There’s a very fine line for me between work and not-work… I literally just went downhill and slipped into burnout.”
- Shelagh Cummins
You’ve heard of writer’s block. But have you ever experienced a block when trying to achieve a goal in your business?
If you’ve ever tried to work toward a goal in your business, big or small, but just couldn’t seem to make it happen.... then you’ll want to listen to this episode of The Road to Seven!
If you’re experiencing a block, you may find yourself unable to move forward in your business for days, weeks, or even months. You can think of it as losing your mojo.
Blocks can pop up during times of burnout or near-burnout, when you’ve been pushing yourself too hard or not taking enough time to relax and reflect. I experienced my own burnout shortly after the pandemic hit, when I doubled my services in order to hold onto my clients and provide them with much-needed support.
But even after slowing back down, closing some programs, and making space, I found that I was still unable to step back into the mindset I needed to have in order to make moves in my business.
In other words, I still hadn’t regained my mojo.
Listen now to find out how I healed my burnout, got over my block, and wound up creating my biggest offer ever!

How the pandemic’s economic effects on my family pushed me into a level of work that was not sustainable
