Getting Emotionally Attached To Your Business

In this raw and relatable conversation, Angela sits down with her longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur Kelly Jan to talk about the emotional rollercoaster that often comes with running your own business. From burnout and blurred boundaries to perfectionism and people-pleasing, they pull back the curtain on what it really looks like when you’re too close to the work—and what it takes to get some healthy distance.

You’ll hear personal stories, hard-won lessons, and honest reflections on how attachment can quietly sabotage your growth, relationships, and peace of mind. If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to your results, this one’s for you.

In this episode:

  • Why emotional attachment can feel good—but be harmful
  • The signs your business might be running you
  • What it looks like to reclaim your identity and joy
  • How to separate self-worth from business success
  • The power of reflection, boundaries, and real conversations
