In this episode of Her First, Joanna interviews Michelle about how you can handle burnout as a digital creator or online business owner. We want you to thrive in execution of your content by practicing simple self-care practices without shame or guilt.
Burnout in the online industry is real — it’s not just a 9-5 corporate problem. We discuss how you can redefine the concept of self-care and balance in your life while managing your digital success. Michelle shares her candid personal journey through the overwhelming world of burnout. You may relate to her experience of running a business solo, the pressure we put on ourselves, and the disconnection it can cause between what really matters.
You may discover that a self-care routine can be a band-aid solution for deeper issues. We’ll deconstruct the complexities of self-care, emphasizing how it can quickly transform into an unhealthy coping mechanism if not exercised mindfully. Learn the truth that taking care of yourself extends beyond the bubble baths and spa days, and delve into the often overlooked basics such as hydration and sleep.
Michelle shares why believing balance isn’t possible is actually the thing stopping you from experiencing it and how to create effective behavior change in your life. We're not just guides on this journey; we're fellow travelers, each finding our way through the chaos that can be life, sharing insights, and learning from each other. Together, let's redefine self-care and balance.

In this episode of Her First, Michelle interviews Joanna about how saying “yes” without clear KPIs attached to your work or performing non-promotable tasks is capping your growth potential.
We uncover how the counterintuitive notion that constantly saying 'yes' in your professional life can actually be detrimental to your reputation and career growth. Drawing on her own decade-long corporate journey in marketing, Joanna reveals the pitfalls of always agreeing to take on new tasks and the repercussions it can have on job security, career advancement, and mental health.
Joanna talks about the importance of recognizing and celebrating our achievements as working women, the need to avoid taking on tasks that don't contribute to our career growth, and the role of gender in these dynamics. She also offers valuable advice on how to put ourselves first, hone our skills, and stop sacrificing our success for others. This can apply to owning your own business as we discuss setting boundaries and asserting authority.
There are benefits of knowing when to say 'yes' or 'no' and how this can shape your personal brand, balance your responsibilities, and ultimately, propel you toward your goals.
