There wasn’t a big dramatic moment. No breakdown, no huge realization. Just a quiet thought that kept getting louder—‘I can’t do this anymore.

For four years, I ran a $1.2M Etsy business—working insane hours, pushing through exhaustion, and ignoring every warning sign my body gave me.

I wasn’t free—I was overworked, overstressed, and one step away from a complete breakdown.

I had constant stomach issues.
A cough that wouldn’t go away.
Two hospital visits in one year.
One time, they couldn’t even figure out what was wrong.

But I kept going. Because that’s what you do when you run a business, right? You just keep grinding.

Until one morning, I sat down at my desk, and my body just said “no.”

That’s when it finally hit me—what’s the point of success if it costs you your health?

So, I made the hardest decision of my life.
I walked away from the business I spent years building.

Now? I’m rebuilding smarter, not harder—creating a business that actually gives me freedom instead of taking it away.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the hustle, maybe it’s time to rethink everything.

Follow me if you want to see how I’m doing it—because success should never come at the cost of your health.
