67. How Do You Recognize Burnout When Everyone Thinks Your Business Is Thriving? with Christine Coughlin from YVR Creatives
<p>What if you're crushing it in your business but completely not okay behind the scenes? </p><p>Christine Coughlin, founder of YVR Creatives and community builder for female entrepreneurs, went full tilt in spring 2025—hosting multiple events a week, showing up everywhere, looking like the definition of success. </p><p>Then she hit a wall. Hard. </p><p>In this episode, Christine shares what entrepreneurial burnout actually looks like when you're living out of integrity with your values, how she recognized the signs her body was giving her, and what it takes to rebuild your business around what actually matters (even when your mentors tell you to slow down and you want to scream). </p><p>This episode is for anyone building a business while juggling family, questioning if they're doing "enough," or wondering why success feels so damn heavy. Because sometimes the most radical thing you can do is hit pause.
