Why Trying to Look “Professional” Is Killing Your Business
The Cycle Advantage

The Secret to Leading Without Losing Yourself
The Cycle Advantage
If you’ve ever thought “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just handle this like everyone else?”... this one’s for you. Because nothing’s wrong with you.

info_outlineYou know that feeling when you’ve been running so hard that suddenly… your body, your brain, and even your bank account are like: nope, we’re done? Burnout isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a full-body STOP sign.
And yet, most women entrepreneurs keep pushing through because they think rest equals failure. My guest today, Kelly Brock, knows this story all too well. After building multiple six-figure businesses, she hit burnout again, this time with kids, employees, and a whole lot of expectations weighing on her shoulders.
What she discovered in that breakdown is exactly what we’re talking about today: the seasons of business, how to actually enjoy the present moment, and why authenticity is the only strategy that never goes out of style.
Episode Summary
In this refreshingly honest episode of the Cycle Advantage Podcast, Kelly Brock and I talk about the real cost of hustle culture. Kelly shares her journey of walking away from a thriving business, taking a social media sabbatical, and rediscovering what presence, pleasure, and alignment really look like as a CEO, mom, and woman.
If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel of bigger goals, higher revenue, and non-stop content creation, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe. We dive into the natural rhythms of business, why building around your “summer season” is a trap, and how authenticity will always be your most magnetic asset.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
✔️ The hidden danger of building your entire business on your “summer energy”
✔️ Why burnout is more than exhaustion: it’s a sign you’re out of alignment
✔️ How a social media sabbatical revealed Kelly’s hidden attachment to dopamine + validation
✔️ The surprising link between presence, prosperity, and play
✔️ Why you cannot automate authenticity (and what to do instead)
Key Takeaways
✔️ Seasons of business are just as real as the seasons of the year
✔️ Presence is a practice. If you can’t enjoy today, you’ll miss the very life you’re working so hard to create.
✔️ Authenticity vibrates higher than perfectly curated content. Connection beats curation every time.
✔️ Burnout isn’t failure, it’s feedback. Let the “dark night” refine you instead of rushing past it.
Why It Matters
If you’re in a season where growth feels slow (or like everything’s falling apart), this episode is your reminder: nothing is wasted. Every season: spring, summer, fall, winter serves a purpose.
You don’t need to keep proving yourself by hitting bigger numbers. You don’t need to show up online 24/7. And you definitely don’t need to burn yourself down to build yourself back up.
Your worth isn’t tied to your revenue. Your value isn’t measured in likes. And when you stop chasing “more,” you’ll finally have space to receive what you actually want: freedom, presence, and overflow.
This Episode Is For You If…
➡️ You’re feeling the sting of burnout (again) and wondering how to climb out
➡️ You’ve been comparing yourself to mentors or peers in a totally different season of life
➡️ You’ve ever felt addicted to social media validation and craved a break
➡️ You want to build a business that supports your whole life not just your highlight reel
