Show Notes

Ep. 132 Your body has been trying to tell you something… and it’s not “work harder.”

In this episode of High Vibe Table Talks, Merchon sits down with business coach Rena Duell for a real conversation every entrepreneur needs to hear—before burnout makes the decision for you.

This isn’t about quitting your goals. It’s about learning how to pause with intention, set boundaries that actually stick, and stop confusing busy work with meaningful progress. Rena opens up about the health wake-up call that forced her to rethink everything—from sleep and self-care to how she defines success and failure.

If you’ve been telling yourself “once I push through this season, I’ll rest”, this episode is your sign to listen closer.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:
✨ Why working harder isn’t the same as working smarter ✨ How to recognize your body’s warning signs before burnout hits ✨ The power of sleep as a business strategy (yes, really) ✨ Setting priorities instead of juggling “five priorities” at once ✨ How community and thought partners keep solopreneurs from feeling isolated

This conversation is a reminder that sustainable success isn’t built on exhaustion—it’s built on clarity, boundaries, and honoring your health.
