36. If You’re Holding It All—Something Isn’t Working: Why Systems Matter More Than You Think
Description
In this episode of The Aligned Florist, we’re talking about something that doesn’t always get the spotlight—but quietly runs the show behind the scenes: your systems.
If you’ve ever found yourself exhausted, overwhelmed, or rewriting the same proposal at 10pm for the third time… this one’s for you. I’m sharing a real-life moment from my own business that forced me to face the truth: the systems that got me here couldn’t take me where I was going.
We’ll walk through:
- How to know when your systems are no longer serving you
- The subtle signs of friction that point to deeper gaps
- Why feeling constantly behind isn’t just a time problem—it’s a structure problem
- What supportive systems actually look and feel like
This is your invitation to stop white-knuckling your workflow and start building a business that holds you—not the other way around.
