Can You Lead a Business and Still Have a Life?

From Keywords to Connections

In this candid and deeply personal conversation, Mary Walker (Owner of Simplified SEO Consulting) and Winnie Youger-Rash (VP of SEO Services) pull back the curtain on what leadership really looks like behind the scenes — the long to-do lists, the constant mental load, the quiet moments of guilt when you try to rest.

Together, they explore the messy truth about “balance” in business leadership: why it’s so hard, what it really means, and how they’re learning to protect the parts of life that matter most. From redefining success beyond the grind, to leaning on each other through the heaviest weeks, Mary and Winnie share the real strategies, boundaries, and mindset shifts that help them lead with purpose without losing themselves in the process.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to build and lead a thriving business while still showing up for your own life — this episode will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and ready to rethink what success looks like for you.

🎧 Listen in to hear:

• The invisible mental and emotional labor of leadership (and why it’s rarely talked about)
• How to use boundaries as tools for better leadership and better living
• The permission to delegate — and why it’s harder than it sounds
• Small, everyday ways to recharge without waiting for a vacation
• What “having a life” really looks like for leaders at different stages
