We sat down with Kayla Albrecht on the Real Business Connections podcast to talk about something every entrepreneur faces but rarely talks about: the emotional and financial weight of running your own business.
Kayla opened up about her experience as a retailer and business operator—especially the challenges of paying yourself while growing something meaningful. We unpacked burnout, people-pleasing, and the importance of truly valuing your work.
We also discussed what a healthy compensation strategy really looks like—not just for your business but also for your personal well-being—and why finding the right support systems can make all the difference.
