The Truth About Entrepreneur Burnout

Let’s talk about something we usually avoid: entrepreneur burnout. You know, the kind that creeps in quietly, even when everything looks shiny and successful on the outside. You built the business. You hit the milestones. You did all the things—but now you’re tired in a way that no nap, no latte, and no “just push through it” pep talk can fix.

In my latest episode of The Reinvention Room, I talked with Lindsey Epperly, founder of Jet Set World Travel, who knows this exact flavor of exhaustion. She scaled a powerhouse agency to 80+ people, made the Inc. 5000 list, and then made a choice most entrepreneurs are terrified to admit even thinking about—she stepped away.

Here’s what we unpacked:

• The hidden signs of entrepreneur burnout (hint: it doesn’t always look like stress)

• Why your identity might be too wrapped up in your role

• The radical power of slowing down to create sustainability

• How burnout can actually be your signal to scale or shift

Lindsey didn’t just drop some surface-level platitudes—she got real. We talked about therapy, medical scares, pushing strollers with big thoughts, and why delegating isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s strategy.

And if you’ve ever tried to solve burnout with a jam-packed "vacation," Lindsey shares what it actually means to rest, recharge, and reset. (Spoiler: It does not involve running through Europe like a contestant on The Amazing Race.)

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken. It might just mean you’re ready to evolve. And if you’re navigating your own entrepreneurial shift, Lindsey’s story will meet you right where you are.
