122. Living Two Lives: How to Balance a 9-5 and Build Your Dream Business

In today’s episode of The Alchemy Lab, I’m share what it’s like to live two different lives—working a full-time job while building my dream business. If you're juggling your 9-5 job and a side hustle (or trying to grow your business while being a mom), this episode is for you. I’ll share my personal journey, the challenges I face, and how I’m managing to stay aligned with my vision for my business, even while working a full-time job.

I talk about how I sometimes feel like two different people, trying to balance my professional self with my entrepreneurial self, and how I’m trying to live a “softer life” with fewer boxes to check, but still show up in a way that’s aligned with my long-term goals.

In this episode, I cover:

• The emotional and mental challenges of balancing a 9-5 job with running a business

• How I’m navigating the tension between working for someone else and building my own dream

• Why I’m grateful for my full-time job, despite my dream to go full-time in my business

• The struggle of imposter syndrome when you’re building a business while working a 9-5

• How I’m learning to embrace a life with fewer pressures and fewer “boxes” to check, while still showing up for both my job and my business

I’ll also share some actionable tips and mindset shifts I’ve been using to stay focused, aligned with my vision, and motivated while working a 9-5 and building my dream business on the side.
