The Boundaries, Business & Balance Podcast Empowering Entrepreneurial Moms to Stop Over functioning and Find Balance New episodes every Monday and Thursday. Are you an entrepreneurial mom feeling overwhelmed juggling your business and family? Do you constantly struggle with burnout, exhaustion, and a never-ending to-do list? If you’ve ever said to yourself: “I’m overwhelmed trying to manage everything alone.” “My business demands constant attention—I feel like I never clock out.” “Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship is exhausting—I need help!” “What does rest even look like? I’m always hiding in the bathroom scrolling on my phone.” …then this podcast is exactly what you need. Hi, I’m Crystal, a life and business coach, mom of three, Wife , former teacher’s aide , and Girl Scout leader who knows burnout firsthand. I used to think exhaustion was just part of motherhood and entrepreneurship, constantly balancing client demands, school activities, and family routines—until I reached my breaking point. I built a business for freedom but found myself managing more chaos instead. Finally, I decided to prioritize myself, set clear boundaries, and rebuild my business and life in a sustainable way. Now, I help entrepreneurial moms reclaim their time, create sustainable rhythms, and overcome burnout so they can thrive in their businesses and at home. On Boundaries, Business & Balance, you’ll hear: Honest stories from moms who’ve reclaimed their time and sanity Real-life insights into creating effective rhythms and routines Authentic conversations that offer clarity and relief, not another to-do list No shortcuts, no hustle culture—just genuine conversations and practical insights to help you achieve real balance.

Let’s reclaim your time and sanity together.
This one’s for the woman who’s been holding it together for so long, she doesn’t even realize she’s missing.
I went to Utah thinking I just needed a little space. A break. A chance to breathe.
What I didn’t expect? Was to completely fall apart poolside. To cry in silence at a spa with no one watching. To ride a chairlift with my husband and realize… I’ve forgotten how to just be.
This isn’t a story about a breakdown. It’s a story...
You’ve been telling yourself, “I just need to let go. I need to stop holding it all.” But every time you even think about letting go? Full-body panic. Your brain spirals. Your chest tightens. You convince yourself that if you loosen your grip for one second, it’ll all come crashing down.
But what if letting go isn’t dangerous? What if it’s actually your path home—not to chaos, but to freedom?

ohhhh, girl. This episode? Buckle up. We’re going there.

We talk about why you’re burnt out, how these roles sneak into your day, and what it really looks like to reclaim your tim...
