Taking my own advice

Hey, hi, hello!

I’m just getting reacclimated after an intensive three-day retreat with one of my fractional COO clients. As such, I’m taking a break from newsletter writing this week.

That’s the thing about being an introvert who works remotely 95% of the time: when I do get those in-person moments, I love them—but wow, do they wipe me out.

So, I’m practicing what I preach: rest, boundaries, and recovery. You can’t build a sustainable business on an empty tank (and you definitely can’t lead one).

In lieu of a long read from me today, I’ve rounded up some of my favorites from the archives:

Take a beat. Drink some water. Close the extra tabs.

See you next week—rested and ready.

Onward,
Mary Alice
