Episode notes
What if growing your business didn’t require sacrificing your health, your hobbies, or your joy?
In this heartfelt conversation, whole-person coach Erin DuPree shares how a decade-long cycle of hustle and burnout, illness, and overwork forced her to completely rethink what sustainable entrepreneurship actually looks like.
Explore why you can’t separate “business you” from “whole-person you,” how rest and hobbies like crochet can be powerful “active rest,” and why screens and shiny objects quietly drain creativity, money, and peace.
Erin opens up about buying and selling multiple businesses, starting gyms from scratch, navigating investors, experimenting with MLMs, and ultimately discovering that just because you can build something doesn’t mean you should.
You’ll hear practical encouragement to embrace seasons, honor your other life titles (parent, partner, friend, creator), and trust that what looked like a detour or “failure” was actually tuition for your next, more aligned venture.
If you’re a burned-out professional or an aspiring entrepreneur wondering if there’s a saner way to do business, you’ll love this conversation with Erin DuPree and LeAnn Lyon on Beyond the Business Plan.
