It is possible to love your work and still feel trapped by the business you have created around it.
For many purpose-led entrepreneurs, the work itself is not the problem. They believe in what they do, care deeply about the people they serve, and may feel they have finally found the work they were meant to pursue. Yet behind that clarity of purpose, the practical reality can feel exhausting, financially uncertain, or increasingly difficult to sustain.
Simone Jennings understands the distinction.
As a spiritual business and lifestyle coach, she works with women who want to build meaningful, profitable businesses without recreating the conditions that depleted them in the first place. Her perspective challenges the assumption that an aligned business is simply one centered on work you love. Alignment must also reach the structure: how you deliver, market, price, create, and organize the work, and how much of your life the business demands in return.
In this conversation, Simone examines the subtle pressure to adopt models that appear to be working for other people. What looks like a proven formula from the outside may conflict with your own energy, strengths, responsibilities, or preferred way of communicating. She also considers what happens when an entrepreneur knows something needs to change but fears losing everything already built.
Her answer is not to romanticize intuition or dismiss strategy. It is to look more honestly at what is working, what has become unnecessarily heavy, and what the business needs in order to evolve with the person running it.
This episode asks a deeper question than whether you have chosen the right work: have you built the right way of doing it?
