In this powerful episode of Your Brand Expressed Podcast, I sit down with author, strategist, and productivity coach Sarah J. Pitts to unpack the emotional and strategic side of entrepreneurship. We dive into her latest book and workbook Stop Doing It All, a must-read for solo business owners ready to break free from burnout and build a business rooted in clarity, energy, and intention.

Sarah shares her Potent Productivity™ method and challenges the myth that doing more equals success. Instead, she offers a culturally aware and emotionally intelligent framework that’s designed to help you focus on what matters most—without losing yourself in the process.

Inside this episode:

• Why hustle culture is outdated—and what to do instead
• The emotional roots of overwhelm and how to overcome them
• How to reclaim your time, set boundaries, and grow with joy
• Why control is killing your creativity (and how to let go!)
• How culture, brand, and personal identity all tie into productivity
