E245: Unseen Causes of Burnout and Getting Home Support with Sue Reeve

Explore Other Episodes

We talk a lot about burnout in business. But what about the hidden factors outside of work that are quietly draining your energy?

In this episode of the Simplify to Scale Show, I sit down with Sue Reeve, the founder of Consider it Done, a UK-based concierge and executive support firm designed to help high-performing professionals regain time and control in their personal lives.

Together, we explore the often-overlooked connection between home life and business burnout.

Drawing from over two decades of Sue's experience in running a top-tier concierge and executive support firm, we unpack why entrepreneurs often invest in business teams but forget to seek help at home.

Most entrepreneurs are quick to outsource in their business, whether it’s accounting, marketing, or admin, but hesitate to get the same kind of support at home.

The result? A constant mental load of school logistics, aging parents, home maintenance, and daily distractions that bleed into your workday and accelerate burnout.

We discuss the benefits of outsourcing at home in the same way we do in business, highlighting the freedom and clarity this brings.

This conversation covers practical strategies, such as finding trusted help for daily needs, building local networks, and designing strong routines for household management.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin or wished for more hours in the day, then this episode is for you.

Take a moment to reflect on where you need support, and consider seeking help at home just as you would in your business. 

 

In this episode, we explore:

  • The hidden costs of constant mental clutter at home
  •  How to find the right support for your personal life
  • How to decide what to outsource (and where to start)
  • Simple ways to set up home support systems
  • Letting go of guilt about outsourcing personal tasks 

 

“Your home deserves the same systems and support as your business if you want both to succeed.” – Sue Reeve
