What’s up, Babes! Welcome back to another episode of the Scale Your Sales Podcast! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s close to all of our hearts—avoiding burnout while building and running a successful business. My guest, Ellyn, is a burnout coach and systems expert, and she’s here to share her incredible journey and actionable strategies to help you stay productive and fulfilled without hitting the dreaded burnout wall.

The power of systems: How creating digital systems can reduce stress and free up time for the "life-giving stuff."
Ellyn’s favorite tools: Why Notion is her go-to productivity app and how she uses automations and AI to streamline life and business.
Building sustainability: Simple steps to balance emotional, mental, and physical health while growing your business.
Recovering from burnout: Why small, consistent actions matter more than drastic lifestyle changes.
Ellyn’s programs and resources: From customizable Notion templates to her System School course and upcoming burnout-proof business group program in 2025.

I don't like having limitations on what I can do and how I can organize things and how I can make things in my digital systems. And that's what Notion gives me—the ability to make it work the way I want it to work. And so I kind of realized all of this stuff, that all of these things that I've been doing in the past, come together under the realm of burnout, systems, self-care, mindset work. But I'm a big believer that the systems have to come first because when we have good systems in our business, in our life, it frees us up for what I call the life-giving stuff. – Ellyn
