Kyla Maki is a transformational coach who helps women with autoimmune illness transform their self-care so they can achieve their desired life without sacrificing their health.
In this conversation we discuss how to practice self-care when running a business, and how especially important self-care becomes when running a wellness business.
Kyla explains how rest and taking time away from business is important to have the energy to help people.
Often wellness entrepreneurs give so much that they forget to give to themselves. Another issue is when building a business (especially an online business we run from home) it can consume our life and we forget to do other things like have fun and visit friends or do hobbies.

“Maybe you're getting a little bit bored with your coaching. I've heard some people suddenly think, "Am I doing the right business? Am I in the right niche or am I doing the right thing?" Because all of a sudden it's starting to feel like they're not enjoying it as much. And that can be an indicator.”

“People underestimate the importance of stuff like hobbies, seeing friends, going out in nature.”

10:02 - 5 ways wellness entrepreneurs can set better boundaries with your business
“Set your hours that you work and to schedule it. Because so often the habit can be, you have a good idea. So you're going to work on that right now. Or you're like, "Oh, I'll just answer these few direct messages," or "I'll just go on social media really quickly." And then it sort of creeps into every aspect of your being.”
13:39 - a practical tip for avoiding getting sucked into social media during your work day
14:39 - How to take vacation
“Take time off, take a vacation. Often healers and wellness entrepreneurs are like “Oh, I don’t want to leave my clients in the lurch”, but if you’re not taking care of yourself, you’re not going to be able to take care of anyone.”
