139. You are not your business

The first episode of 2026!

After a much-needed break, I’m back in your ears to kick off the year with a topic that’s been coming up a lot in my mastermind (and in my own experience too).

This week, we’re talking about something many e-commerce founders quietly struggle with:

Feeling like your business is you.

Your identity, your self-worth, your success – all tangled up in sales, social media engagement, and your Shopify dashboard.

In this episode, I unpack:

• Why healthy detachment is actually a business strategy

• The impact of tying your self-worth to your revenue

• The nervous system toll of constantly checking your Shopify app

• Real-life boundaries you can set to protect your energy and decision-making

• Simple mindset shifts and physical routines to create separation

This is a vulnerable, honest conversation about what it really looks like to run a business without letting it run you. Especially if you’re a creative, a perfectionist, or someone who really cares.
