Reading · Busyness and Burnout

Hey friend,

Today’s episode is a heart-to-heart with brand + web designer Patricia Ordóñez (you may know her from House of Freelancer on IG/TikTok). We get real about freelancing, burnout, and imposter syndrome—the messy middle most creatives don’t post about.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

How Patricia knew she was burning out—and the simple reset she used to come back with intention
What to do when everything feels urgent (and how to choose the next right thing)
Imposter Syndrome vs. actual evidence: a quick audit that calms the spiral
Boundaries that feel human (clients, time, and social media)
Why stepping away can be a strategy—not a setback

Try this after you listen (2-minute prompt):
Write down one belief you’re carrying about your work that drains your energy (e.g., “I have to be available 24/7”). Rewrite it into a supportive rule you can keep this week (e.g., “I reply within 24 hours during business hours.”)
