The topic of burnout is popping up a lot in my business circles. People are tired, and they are struggling with decision fatigue. Many people I talk to are questioning whether to even continue with their business or whether they should make an exit, but these types of conversations typically happen behind closed doors, or worse, they don't happen at all, and people end up struggling alone in silence, which is not what I want for any of you. That all changes today. Ginny Krauss and Elli Runkles are sharing their journey back from burnout on the podcast. What it felt like, how they knew something needed to change, what type of help they sought out, and how they've gotten to their recovery point today where they're helping other business owners. We also discuss decision fatigue, building self-trust as a business owner, and how your definition of “success” as a business owner can change over time. Ginny Krauss and Elli Runkles are the cofounders of Supported CEO. Their mission is to help busy entrepreneurs thrive in both life and business without burning out by becoming a more supported version of themselves. Ginny and Elli have over 15 years of entrepreneurial experience. Both of them had previous businesses before coming together to cofound Supported CEO in 2023. They are also both Americans who have had the unique experience of living abroad for over a decade. Ginny lives in Germany, and Elli lives in Portugal.

FULL SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES I am thrilled to welcome back Ginny Krauss and Kristin Kaplan to She Creates Business. Back in episode 34 Ginny and Kristin did a Roundtable Q & A where they answered a ton of questions from other wedding pros on things like pricing, ideal client, marketing, social media and so much more. Take a listen to episode 34 after today’s show, I hope you’ll take as many notes as I did.

These ladies are literally taking us behind the scenes of their signature coaching program so you can make a WELL INFORMED decision on whether or not the program is for you and also just showing you how they run the program. I honestly wish more people would do this. I’ve spent THOUSANDS of dollars on courses and programs and can honestly say I’ve been more than disappointed in a lot them. Not because they were bad courses/programs, but because they were NOT right for me and that was not clear on the sales page. Have you ever felt that way after you purchased a course or program? Enter Here to WIN a FREE SPOT in The Wedding Business Academy I also wish I could have spoken to real human beings who had taken some of the courses I’d purchased and hear what they loved and did love about the program. That’s why I decided to include testimonials from real people at the end of the episode! Elise Luddy and Lina Ruel Flynn were kind enough to record their thoughts on the program and share them with you. Thanks ladies! Thank you to The Wedding Business Academy AND Ginny + Kristin for sponsoring She Creates Business for the month of February. It has truly been my pleasure to have you here and I’m so grateful for your support. Thank you for being such givers to my community and for peeling back the curtain on your program!

She loves to see amazing women (like you!) doing great things in the world and in their business and it totally shows.
