I’ve come to find that the healthy hustle is more art than science. And if it is an art, then I’m a toddler discovering a box of crayons for the first time.

In fact, as I’m writing this, I’m sitting here with heavy eyelids, running on not enough sleep and even though I haven’t taken a day off in weeks, I still have a giant to-do list (and a giant-er coffee cup) in front of me.

But I’m learning as I go, or at least….I’m acknowledging that I need to. And I’m trying.

I imagine that the healthy hustle will probably always be a work-in-progress rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.

So, I invited some of my fellow side hustlers, solopreneurs and small business owners to share ways that they balanced mental, physical and emotional health—all while still hustling hard, chasing their dreams and even raising families.

Yes, Kila and I second that. Whenever I need a break, I take this little one out for a walk to breathe some fresh air and maybe treat myself to a cup of coffee.

However you navigate the hustle of life, I think the most important thing to realize is that you are not alone.

So many times we compare and pressure ourselves based on what we think we see around us (thank you instagram). But we shouldn’t believe everything we see (and think).

More importantly, we should never feel guilty or less than for prioritizing ourselves and the real lives we all lead behind the feed.

And if you needed to hear this today…. you’re doing a GREAT JOB.
