This is a monthly Sunday Check-In — a bonus episode of STOP. THEN DO IT.™, hosted by Maya.

This episode explores business overwhelm, too many ideas, and what to do when your brain doesn’t stop — especially when you’re building something and don’t want to burn out.

You’ll hear:

• why overwhelm doesn’t come from having too many ideas, but from fear of losing them
• how ideas can be managed without forcing productivity or discipline
• how to calm mental noise while staying ambitious
• how to get clients without a big audience or ad budget
• how to think differently about finding the right people to work with

This episode is for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and business owners who feel mentally overloaded, stretched, or stuck — and want clarity without pressure.

Self-development is the part of entrepreneurship no one talks about —yet it’s what determines whether you grow… or burn out.

In this episode, Maya speaks honestly about self-development for entrepreneurs and why business growth demands personal growth long before it grows your income.

From early discovery calls with a small client portfolio, to learning how personality builds trust, to navigating pressure, responsibility, and leadership as your business expands — this episode explores how entrepreneurship shapes who you become at every stage.

This isn’t surface-level mindset advice.
It’s a grounded look at the emotional, mental, and identity shifts that come with building something of your own.

This episode is for:

• Entrepreneurs and business owners feeling overwhelmed or unprepared
• Freelancers navigating growth and responsibility
• Founders facing pressure, leadership challenges, or self-doubt
• Anyone who wants to grow a business without losing themselves in the process

This is a conversation about business mindset, leadership, emotional intelligence, and sustainable growth — because your business can only grow as much as you do.

Business Advice Often Works for Men — But Burns Women Out

Women in business aren’t overwhelmed because they lack discipline.

They’re overwhelmed because most business advice ignores the emotional and mental load women carry.

In this episode, Maya breaks down why hustle culture and “just be consistent” advice doesn’t work for women, how nervous system regulation plays a role in burnout, and why balancing masculine and feminine energy is essential for sustainable success.

You’ll learn how the STOP. THEN DO IT.™ method helps women slow down, reconnect with themselves, and take aligned action — without giving up ambition or momentum.

This episode is for women in business who:

Feel overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted

Are tired of forcing productivity

Want a healthier business mindset

Are craving clarity, alignment, and intentional living

Want success that supports their life — not consumes it

This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, self-development, nervous system awareness, and intentional living — because overwhelm isn’t a discipline problem. It’s a clarity problem.
