Operational Harmony: Balancing Business & Mental WellbeingWelcome to Operational Harmony, the podcast where we bridge the gap between entrepreneurial success and mental wellbeing. Hosted by a solopreneur who understands the unique challenges of juggling business growth and personal health, this show is your go-to resource for practical advice and heartfelt support. Podcast Focus: In each episode, we dive into essential tips and information for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs, tackling the specific challenges you face when working alone or with a small team. Our unique format splits each episode into two halves: one focusing on business strategies and the other on mental wellbeing, changing your approach to your personal and professional life. Target Audience: We cater specifically to entrepreneurs and solopreneurs who are eager to optimize their business practices while maintaining a healthy mind. Whether you're looking for strategic advice or ways to handle stress, this podcast is designed for you. Format and Structure: With a versatile format, our episodes include: Interviews with industry experts and successful entrepreneurs. Solo episodes where we share personal insights and actionable tips. Panel discussions offering diverse perspectives on pressing issues. Unique Selling Points: Unlike other podcasts that separate business and mental health, Operational Harmony integrates both, recognizing that over 70% of entrepreneurs face mental health challenges. We bring these topics closer together, providing a balanced perspective that’s often missing in the market. Guest Speakers: Our guest speakers, who vary in expertise from mental health professionals to seasoned business leaders, bring valuable insights tailored to the topics at hand. While we aim to feature high-profile guests, our primary focus is on delivering content that resonates with and supports our listeners. While I strive to maintain a balanced and respectful dialogue, some guests may present thoughts, teachings, and ideas that I may not fully agree with. However, I welcome them to share their perspectives, as they have the potential to resonate with and help someone out there. Personal Motivation: Inspired by personal experience, this podcast was born out of a desire to let fellow solopreneurs know they’re not alone. Sharing struggles and strategies from both personal and professional realms, we aim to create a supportive community where listeners can find solace and strength. Goals and Outcomes: Our mission is to ensure that you know you’re not alone in your journey. We hope to impart coping skills and practical advice that help you identify and solve problems swiftly, ultimately leading to a more balanced life and business. Additional Resources: Join our Discord community for ongoing support, access to downloadable guides, and comprehensive show notes for every episode.

  • Boundaries, Burnout, and the Business You Actually Want
    Sep 29 2025
    Show Notes (fully timestamped)

    00:00 — Meet Dr. Jaime Reza, career and stress coach helping people navigate transitions without burning out.
    01:00 — Fifteen years in mental health, the burnout formula, and the car accident wake-up call that led to a three-day coma and a hard reset on work.
    03:00 — Why “I’ll just pull one all-nighter” is a trap, and how to design systems that don’t rely on heroics.
    04:30 — Boundaries that hold: start with call windows, project scope, and saying “no” when capacity is full.
    05:30 — Corporate boundaries: don’t check email after hours, and know your on-call rights and pay structure; advocacy starts with knowing the law in your state.
    07:00 — HR reality check: HR protects the company first; document everything and escalate with clarity.
    09:00 — On-call vs emergency time: what counts, what to ask for, and how to ensure you’re paid fairly.
    11:30 — Delegation as stress relief: when repetitive clicks steal your focus, hire task help so you can think.
    14:00 — Procrastination as a signal of overwhelm, not a character flaw; lighten the load to reduce avoidance.
    15:30 — Audit your task list: what’s truly necessary vs “past me promised future me.”
    17:30 — If you have an assistant, talk daily; boredom means misalignment, overwhelm means you need more support.
    19:30 — Owner mindset: you’re the iron that fuses the pegs, not a peg yourself; stay at the macro level.
    21:00 — Work on the business: your time belongs to vision, partnerships, and strategy, not inbox triage.
    24:00 — Seeing the system: connect marketing, sales, and ops so information and priorities flow.
    26:00 — What’s under perfectionism: fear of letting go, and the next, scarier role after you delegate.
    27:30 — When to bring in help: coaches, ops partners, and consultants to make the pivot less scary.
    28:00 — Jaime’s CRM story: drowning at 900 contacts, hiring help, building automations, and getting time back.
    29:30 — Health is data: headaches, stomach pain, or numbness are signals; ignoring them raises the cost later.
    32:00 — Listening to your body: advocate for care, even when others minimize your pain or symptoms.
    36:00 — Panic, seizures, and stress responses: why early attention matters and how to de-escalate your life load.
    40:00 — Weekly reset blocks: two to six hours just for you; decompress, offload, then do something you enjoy.
    42:00 — Jaime’s Rule of Threes: every 3 hours move, every 3 days change your environment, every 3 weeks leave your city, every 3 months leave your county, every 3 years leave the country if you can.
    43:30 — Travel builds perspective; you don’t need international flights to expand your world.
    48:00 — Coping toolbelt: therapy, routines, and trusted people for the hard days.
    50:00 — Final takeaways: trust your signals, act on them, follow through, and build a business that protects your health.
