In this episode, I sit down with Mallory Rowan, a serial entrepreneur, real estate investor, and marketing expert, to discuss the darker side of hustle culture—and how to break free from the burnout cycle. At just 22, she built a multi-six-figure global e-commerce brand, but the constant grind took a toll on her health. Ignoring the warning signs, she pushed through—until her body forced her to stop.

Now, she’s on a mission to help entrepreneurs build success without sacrificing their well-being.

What We’ll Cover:

  • The hidden costs of hustle culture—and why success doesn’t have to mean burnout.
  • How passion can become consuming and when to recognize it’s too much.
  • Why entrepreneurs often feel like they haven’t "earned" their rest.
  • Steps to create a more aligned, sustainable business without losing momentum.


Key Takeaways:

  • Burnout isn’t a badge of honor—success shouldn’t come at the cost of your health.
  • It’s okay to pivot, set boundaries, and redefine what success looks like for you.
  • Healing from burnout requires both mindset shifts and intentional self-care.
  • Slowing down now can actually fuel long-term success."
