Shownotes

There's this exhaustion that comes from working all day, then spending your remaining hours trying to build a business.

And sometimes, the actual work isn't even the exhausting part. It's the courses, the communities, the endless advice, and the feeling that everyone else is moving faster than you.

Janay Trevillion knows that cycle well.

With a full-time job and a side business she's building around her experience in travel and technology, Janay has dealt with burnout, information overload, and the pressure to constantly learn and create.

In Part 1 of our conversation, we explore:

  • Recognizing burnout: The warning signs that can show up as sleepless nights, doomscrolling, anxiety, and difficulty focusing.
  • Information overload: Why joining more courses and online communities can sometimes leave you feeling further behind.
  • Choosing what to focus on: How to prioritize your interests when you're someone who wants to pursue several things at once.
  • Managing a side hustle alongside a full-time job: Setting boundaries, planning your week, and giving yourself permission to step away.
  • Recovering without rushing: Why Jenette sees rebuilding from burnout as an ongoing process rather than something you fix overnight.

If you're working a 9-to-5, trying to create another income stream, and wondering how everyone else seems to be managing it all, there's plenty in this conversation you'll relate to.
