You didn’t start your business to feel trapped by it. But somewhere along the way, the passion that once lit you up got buried under the endless to-do lists, late nights, and the pressure to keep up with everyone else’s version of success.
It’s time to change that.
Welcome to @The Simplified CEO – the podcast for ambitious, service-based business owners who are ready to strip away the overwhelm, simplify their strategy, and build a business (and life) they actually love again.
Hosted by Claire Bartlett, award-winning business mentor, speaker, and creator of the R.E.S.E.T.™ Framework, each episode feels like a heart-to-heart with a friend who gets it. Expect raw truth, simple strategies, and the mindset shifts that will help you reignite your energy, find clarity, and grow a profitable business without burning out.
If you’re tired of overcomplicating your growth, second-guessing every decision, and wondering if you should just “burn it all down,” this is your safe space to reset, rebuild, and rise.
So get comfy, hit follow, grab your coffee, and let’s simplify your way to success.

I Built This Business... So Why Does It Feel So Empty? | Ep 48
Feeling disconnected from the business you once loved? You’re not alone - and you’re definitely not broken. In this powerful kickoff to The Bold Blueprint’s R.E.S.E.T.™ Framework series, Claire dives into the first and most important step: Reignite.
This isn’t fluffy motivation, it’s a raw, honest, and empowering conversation about burnout, misalignment, and what it really takes to fall back in love with your business. You’ll hear real talk, vulnerable moments (including the £50 planner Claire still hasn’t used!), and practical tools to help you reclaim your energy, your clarity, and your spark.
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I built this… so why does it feel so meh?” this episode is exactly what you need.
🎧 In this episode, Claire shares:
Why so many business owners feel stuck, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained - even when they’re outwardly “successful”
How we lose sight of the passion and purpose that started it all
The sneaky trap of “shoulds” - and how to start breaking free
Why strategy can’t save a burnt-out business owner (and what will)
The Reignite Ritual - a 10-minute daily practice to help you reconnect with yourself
A powerful mindset shift: “What kind of life do I want my business to give me?”
🔥 Quote to remember:"You don’t need to burn it all down. You just need to reset."
