In this episode, I’m sharing my journey of breaking free from hustle culture and what it’s really taken to build a business that feels aligned and sustainable. As an anti-hustle business coach, I know firsthand how hard it can be to let go of the idea that productivity equals self-worth. I’ll talk about what it means to truly embody integrity in your business—making sure your actions align with your values and what you teach.

I’ll also dive into some of the biggest mindset shifts that helped me, like slowing down, regulating my nervous system, redefining what success looks like, and learning to celebrate the small wins. We’ll talk about the power of long-term commitment, setting boundaries, and creating space for a business that supports you—not the other way around. This episode lays the groundwork for the more strategic shifts I’ll cover next time, so stay tuned!

In this episode of the Anti Hustle Business Podcast, I’m diving into how collective grief and unrest, especially after big events like the U.S. election, can really shake up the online business world. I talk about the importance of leading with values, putting well-being first, and standing up for marginalized communities. I encourage fellow entrepreneurs to align their business with their personal values, take breaks when they need them, and be there to support clients through tough times. I also share some tips on showing up authentically, handling launches, and running a business during challenging personal or global moments. And, I emphasize the value of a strong support system—like working with diversity, equity, and inclusion coaches—to help create safer, more inclusive spaces for everyone in your community.

In this episode, I’m thrilled to chat with my longtime client, Jelan Agnew. Jelan is a licensed clinical social worker, TEDx speaker, wellness consultant, life coach, and mindfulness facilitator. We reflect on her incredible journey over the last few years, where she went from running a private practice to completely shifting gears—closing her practice, selling everything, moving to Mexico, and transitioning her career and mindset.

Jelan opens up about what it took to make such a leap, both professionally and personally, as she shifted out of social work and into coaching. We dig into her journey of shedding limiting beliefs about money and redefining her approach to work and life. Jalon’s story is such a powerful reminder that true transformation comes from both bold decisions and the willingness to keep moving forward, even in uncertainty.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Embracing change and taking big risks, like relocating to Mexico

- Transitioning from social work to coaching, and the mindset shifts required

- Overcoming money mindsets around charging for your services

- How to build a business in alignment with your personal values and goals

If you’ve ever felt that pull to take a leap, tune in to get inspired by Jelan’s journey, and to remind yourself that you don’t need to have everything figured out to get started.

After experiencing burnout and considering leaving her coaching business for a traditional job, Carol found renewed inspiration through the anti-hustle business methodologies.
