Bye Bye Burnout: Reignite Your Spark & Fall Back in Love with Your Work

Let’s be honest—some days, running your business doesn’t feel fun anymore. You’re exhausted, your creativity’s flatlined, and even things you used to love just feel… heavy.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And friend, I see you.

During one of our recent Designer’s Circle calls, we had an incredible session with Aaron Montgomery from Our Success Group and Kara Webster from Enchanted Vines. And let me tell you—it was the kind of reset so many of us didn’t even realize we needed. It was honest, refreshing, and full of those lightbulb moments that hit you right in the feels.

Here’s a peek at what we unpacked…

💭 So… What Is Burnout, Really?


It’s not just about feeling tired. It’s that deep, lingering fog where you start questioning:

  • Why does everything feel like a chore?
  • Do I even love this anymore?
  • Is this worth it?


You’re still showing up—but it feels like you’re dragging yourself through mud. That spark you once had? Now it’s flickering at best.But here’s the truth: You’re not stuck… you’re just in a shift.


🚫 From “Have To” → “Get To”

One of the biggest breakthroughs from the call? Changing the way we talk to ourselves.

When everything feels like a have to, it’s no wonder we’re overwhelmed. But what if we started saying:

  • I get to connect with my customers.
  • I get to create something beautiful.
  • I get to run a business that's mine.


This small shift is powerful. It’s not about pretending everything’s easy—it’s about remembering the why behind the work.

✨ Fun Isn’t Optional—It’s Fuel

I loved this reminder from Aaron:

“Fun is one of the most underrated ingredients in any successful venture.”

YES. Somewhere along the way, we stopped letting ourselves play. But creativity needs joy to thrive. You don’t have to earn rest. And fun isn’t a distraction—it’s what keeps us going.

🧹 Let Go to Make Space

One of the most emotional parts of the conversation was about what we’re holding on to:

  • Fear of judgment
  • Shame from past mistakes
  • Regret that keeps us stuck

What if we let that go?

What if we stopped overextending ourselves and stopped playing small just to keep everyone else comfortable? That’s where real space opens up—for clarity, for peace, for passion again.



🎯 Set THE Goal

Not a goal. THE goal.

The one that gets you out of bed.

The one that lights your soul up.

Because let’s be honest—if your goal doesn’t mean something to you, excuses are always going to win.

Get super clear on why you started this journey. Let that guide your decisions—not the pressure to do it all perfectly.

💬 Final Thoughts

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken. It’s just a sign that something needs to shift. And that shift can be so good if you let it.

You don’t have to do this alone. We’re figuring it out together—and this call was just the beginning.
