“I want to grow my business, but I don't want to burn out.”
I hear this often from daughters of immigrants and women of color entrepreneurs.
Maybe you're ready for growth—more financial freedom, more visibility, more creative expression that feels fully you.
And yet…something in you hesitates. You pause before taking the leap.
Not just because of the fear of failure or judgment.
Not because you’re lazy.
But because you remember.
The all-nighters.
The tension in your shoulders. The chronic headaches.
Finally getting to the goal, only to feel exhausted and unwell.
The moments of achievement that felt…empty.
The hesitation for growth can come from the deep body-memory of what happens when you push too far, too fast.
The fear of burning out. Again.
You’ve done the version of success that demands everything from your body.
That pushes through exhaustion.
That sacrifices joy and presence in the name of productivity.
Maybe that kind of ambition helped you survive in corporate jobs, or in the scrappy early days of entrepreneurship.
Maybe it was even celebrated.
But now, you’re needing something different.
A business that honors your nervous system.
A way of building that’s sustainable, not sacrificial.
A business that feels nourishing, generative, and actually supports your life. 🌿
And still, the fear creeps in:
“If I slow down…will I lose everything I’ve worked so hard for?”
“If I stretch beyond my limits…will I fall apart again?”
Because for so many of us, especially as daughters of immigrants, slowing down can feel complicated.
It can come with guilt, like we're abandoning a path to make something real out of our families’ sacrifice.
I understand because I’ve been there.
In my corporate job, I sometimes worked through holidays and at one point, I was literally doing my pitches in my sleep (Nick told me I was sleeptalking lol), because my brain just wouldn't turn off and I was working all the time.
My shoulder pain was constant, and I was often on the brink of crying from exhaustion.
In my early years as an entrepreneur, I felt that I couldn’t enjoy any free time to rest because the business wasn’t “there yet.” I felt guilty taking time with my partner, my friends, my family, and it was so hard to be fully present.
I was living in a body that was in pain and begging me to slow down and do things differently.
But my drive to succeed, layered with my Korean immigrant upbringing to work myself to the bones, refusing to let me slow down.
Even after years of somatic healing, it wasn’t until I was pregnant that I finally listened, in the context of my business.
I realized that business doesn't have to feel like a perpetual grind no matter what stage I'm in.
It was a wakeup call. I decided it's not worth it for my business to consume my whole life and stress me out, because my priorities became clear:
I want to be a present mom.
I want to be healthy.
I want time freedom and financial stability, without sacrificing my joy.
I want peace.
