142. Avoiding Burnout as a Homemaker, Homesteader, Homeschooling Mom, and Business Owner | Kate of Venison for Dinner

It’s easy to look at someone like Kate and wonder how she does it all. Between homemaking, homeschooling her five children, maintaining her Canada homestead, and running her successful online business, Kate’s plate is certainly full. In our conversation, we discuss the realities of what it looks like to manage all of these responsibilities well without burning yourself out. A little spoiler alert: Kate doesn’t do it all alone and neither do I! If you have a goal of pursuing a new opportunity—a business or homestead or some other dream—but you wonder how you will manage it all, may you be inspired by this honest look behind the scenes of the lives of two fellow homemakers and business owners.

In this episode, we cover:

How Kate started her online business and grew it to where it is today
Scheduling work hours when you work from home
How to navigate seasons of burnout when your plate is full
Letting go of the pressure to do it all yourself
Setting boundaries in your business around what opportunities to pursue
The power of outsourcing in your business
A typical day in the life on Kate’s homestead
A hard look at wasting time and accomplishing your goals
One helpful tip for seasons of living in survival mode
