The Dean's List w/ Alison Dean
Entrepreneurial Wellness: Burnout, Boundaries & Building Well
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Entrepreneurial wellness goes beyond self-care trends — it’s about burnout prevention, boundaries, and building a sustainable business.
In this episode, Alison Dean shares insights from founders and leaders on work-life balance, resilience, and creating teams that thrive.
This isn’t the aesthetic version of wellness. It’s the real version.
Inside this episode:
• Daily non-negotiables that anchor high performers
• The role of boundaries, solitude, and digital detox
• Movement vs. stillness — and finding your personal “floor”
• Navigating seasonal intensity and burnout
• 4-day workweeks, flexible hours, and structural support for teams
• Transparency, trust, and internal company culture
• When the word “wellness” deserves a second look
• Why joy — not perfection — might be the most sustainable strategy of all
You’ll hear honest reflections on how leaders prioritize emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being — even in demanding seasons of growth.
If you’re building a business, leading a team, or navigating your own definition of success, this episode offers practical insights and grounded perspectives to help you create something sustainable.
Because building well isn’t about looking balanced — it’s about staying aligned.
