Wired But Tired: How to Combat Burnout As An Entrepreneur w/ Christa Orecchio

Seed Money

For entrepreneurs, running fast and charging hard comes with the territory. But that could be doing nothing but running us into the ground.

A lot of the things we think are “normal” parts of building and running businesses are actually signs of burnout. So many of us are stuck in that “wired and tired” mode and we don’t even know that we’re well over the limits of our health.

We can only live in a state of chronic stress for so long before it turns into trauma and whirlpool of health issues. You can’t create something magnificent from a place of anxiety, stress and hurriedness. If we want to build sustainable business and come up with great ideas, we have to protect our flow state.

That means putting balance at the forefront of every decision we make. What are those early indicators of burnout and what small steps can we take to make things better?

In this episode, I’m joined by clinical and holistic nutritionist, entrepreneur and TV host, Christa Orecchio. She talks about steps we can take to run ourselves like fine-tuned machines.

Topics Covered

-How to prevent burnout

-A few easy actions to offset your body’s stress response

-What burnout does to your body

-Christa’s experience selling 30% of her company to a private equity firm
