About this listen

Welcome to Lindsey Talks Tech, a podcast about using tech to simplify, systematize, and automate your business so you can save hours each week. You didn't start your own business to work all the time right? Well if you dream of having a business that allows you the freedom to work when you want, where you want, and on what you want, then you are in the right place.

This podcast is where I get raw and real about what it’s like to run an online business, the success and struggles along the way, as well as my top tips, lessons, and strategies I’ve learned from my own journey and working on hundreds of clients’ businesses.

  • Booked but Burnt Out: The Hidden Cost of Running Your Business Without Systems
    Jan 14 2026

    You can be booked out and still feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly behind.

    In this episode of Lindsey Talks Tech, we’re talking about a common misconception: burnout doesn’t always come from doing too much. A lot of the time, it comes from running a business without systems that actually support you.

    Because when everything lives in your head—follow-ups, client steps, admin tasks, delivery—rest doesn’t feel restful. Even time off feels stressful.

    We’ll break down what burnout really looks like behind the scenes, why being booked is not the same as being supported, and the first place to look if you’re feeling maxed out: your client flow.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why burnout isn’t always caused by workload
    • The hidden systems gaps that create constant overwhelm
    • Why being booked doesn’t automatically mean you’re supported
    • What “client flow” includes (and why it matters)
    • What to stop doing if burnout is creeping in
