YOUR FAV HYPE GIRLS ARE BACK AND READY TO MOTIVATE!

In this feel-good episode of Hustled Up, we get real about our recent trip to Tennessee and why sometimes you just need to step away and breathe. We chat about how a simple invitation turned into one of the most soul-filling experiences we’ve had in business so far. It was a perfect mix of play and purpose — so many other amazing cleaning business owners with no competition, no judgment — just connection. We laughed, learned, paddle-boarded, and obviously managed to squeeze in some work from a lake house in the Smokies [seriously, no exaggeration there]. The biggest takeaway? You never know what kind of magic is around the corner when you say yes to rest, community, and growth.
We also dive into some BIG truths — like how imposter syndrome can creep in at any stage, but everyone has value to offer no matter where they are in business. We take the time to really encourage our amazing listeners not to let fear, burnout, or the size of their business keep them from reaching out and making those connections that can truly transform everything. This episode is your hype girl moment: a reminder to stop doubting yourself, to stop thinking you have to do it all alone, and stop to take a breath and rest. If you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or just uninspired, this one's for you. We’re cheering for you — always! 💚

“You don’t even know what the future holds for you—and that’s not a cliché, it’s the truth. The most beautiful things that have happened to us weren’t even on our vision board.”
🩷 Big Takeaways from This Episode:
Don’t underestimate the power of stepping away — rest and recharge can lead to major breakthroughs.
Say yes to opportunities that feed your soul, even if they feel out of reach at first (like a spontaneous 13-hour road trip to Tennessee!).
You never know what incredible experiences are waiting for you just around the corner — especially when you build genuine connections.
Everyone has something to offer, no matter the size or stage of your business. Don’t let imposter syndrome hold you back.
Community over competition: being surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs can be transformational.
Taking time off doesn’t mean losing momentum—it can actually fuel your creativity, motivation, and clarity.
You can find ways to step away, even without a full team. Get creative with how you plan your rest.
Networking and connection are everything—don’t be afraid to reach out and introduce yourself.
There is real productivity in rest. You’re not lazy for taking time for yourself—you’re smart.
You don’t have to see the whole path—just keep showing up and trust that beautiful, unexpected things can happen.
