Episode 22 - Burnout to Boundaries: Protecting Your Energy While Scaling Your Business

In this episode of The Digital Shift™, Natasha Robertson pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest threats to entrepreneurs today: burnout. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things—but still dropping the ball—this one’s for you.

Natasha shares how her lack of systems once led to stress, overwhelm, and near burnout… and how she turned it all around with automation, boundaries, and a proven 90-day time-blocking method.

Whether you’re scaling a side hustle or running a six-figure business, Natasha walks you through her personal framework to protect your energy while still hitting big goals.

“Burnout isn’t a badge of honor—boundaries are the blueprint for sustainable success.”

•Women in business feeling like they’re always “on” and can’t turn it off

•Business owners juggling multiple roles and looking for more time freedom

•Anyone who’s ever hit a wall and thought: there has to be a better way
