Life-Proof Your Business: 10 Ways I Created Breathing Room to Heal, Move, and Rest

⚠️ Note: This episode was recorded years ago under a former brand, but it still holds value for anyone building a business while navigating chronic illness, caregiving, or the reality of a full life.

What happens to your business when life hits hard? When you're sick, moving, overwhelmed, caregiving, or just needing rest, does it all stop?

Ever feel like your biz is at a complete standstill if you're not working? I've been there. 

I share how I "Marie-proofed" my business after being inspired by the idea (credit: Mariah Coz) of creating systems that can run without you. From recovering from surgery to moving states and raising two young kids, I’ve had to find ways to keep the lights on (and the mission going) even when I couldn’t show up full-time.

How can you, [your name]-proof your business?
