Everyone celebrates growth but what about the heaviness that comes with it? When your business grows faster than your systems, boundaries, or emotional bandwidth, growth feels less like success… and more like pressure.

In this episode, we name the tension that entrepreneurs rarely talk about: the overwhelm hiding inside “good” growth. You’ll learn how to rebuild capacity, create sustainable visibility rhythms, and use Pinterest to support expansion rather than add to your workload.


What You’ll Learn

  • Why growth often feels heavier before it feels better
  • The capacity gap: when your business outgrows your systems
  • How to create a visibility plan that supports you, not drains you
  • The difference between fast-lane and slow-lane marketing
  • How Pinterest plays a stabilizing role in sustainable scaling
  • The soft skill behind healthy growth: self-leadership
