111. When We Wanted to Quit: the Raw, the Real, and the Resilience 💪

In this deeply personal and refreshingly honest episode of Hustled Up, we open up about the very real [and often hidden] side of business ownership: the moments when we truly wanted to quit. From emotional breakdowns in the driveway to cleaning-related client horror stories, we’re sharing it all. We talk about resentment, burnout, emotional spirals, and those quiet “I can’t do this anymore” moments that creep in on even the most successful of journeys. If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt defeated by the grind, or wanted to toss your business into the metaphorical dumpster — this one's for you.

We’re not just telling our stories — we’re giving you tools to bounce back, including support systems, boundaries, reset days .. and have you ever thought about a badass CEO Spotify playlist?! Whether you're in the messy middle or just starting out, this conversation is here to remind you that you're not alone. We’re proof that you can cry in your car and still crush your goals. Let’s talk about how to survive the tough days — and come back even stronger!

Key Takeaways:

• Your “why” needs to evolve as your business does — survival isn't a strong enough motivator long-term.

• Boundaries are everything. With clients. With employees. With your phone.

• Support systems save lives — and businesses!

• Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you have to do it all yourself.

• Hard days are normal. So is crying. Don’t suffer in silence.

• Systems and processes will keep you from quitting. Period.

• A CEO reset day can do more for your business than a week of frantic to-do lists.
