Burnout is not a badge of honor. In this episode, Chanda breaks down what sustainable success actually looks like and why systems, boundaries, and self trust matter more than working harder. This conversation is a reset for anyone who feels overwhelmed, reactive, or constantly behind.
Key Topics Discussed:
Burnout is a warning, not a requirement: If your business only works when you are exhausted, something is broken and it is not you.
Mindset comes before strategy: No system will stick if you believe rest equals failure or productivity defines your worth.
Self awareness changes everything: Learning your personal burnout cues helps you intervene before things spiral.
CEO themed days create clarity: Structuring your week around focus areas removes daily decision fatigue.
Boundaries protect your energy: Time blocks only work when you are willing to turn things off and say no.
Delegation is not optional for growth: If you are the single point of failure, your business cannot scale.
Guilt is not a good decision maker: Especially for moms, choosing yourself now creates a better future for everyone.
