Ever felt like your business was hanging by a thread after life threw a massive curveball? Imagine running a service-based business when a natural disaster hits—clients waiting, bills piling up, and your entire routine flipped upside down. In this episode, Leah and Jess dive into the chaos, stress, and survival tactics of navigating business after a crisis, reflecting on the impact of Cyclone Alfred in Southeast Queensland and how they managed to juggle work, mental health, and client expectations while dealing with real-life disruptions.
They get real about the anxiety and guilt that comes with not being able to show up 100%, the pressure to keep things moving, and why over-communicating with clients is key. Plus, they share practical lessons on resilience, buffer days, and self-care strategies that help in managing business when the unexpected happens.
