Feeling Burned Out, Stuck, or Drained? Here’s What Might Be Missing…
You wake up tired. You sit all day, glued to your laptop. You cross off tasks but still feel behind. You’ve “checked all the boxes,” but your body, energy, and motivation say otherwise. Sound familiar?
If you’ve been pushing non stop, pouring into your work, your family, your goals but feel like you’ve hit a wall… you’re not alone.
In fact, 46% of entrepreneurs report struggling with feelings of isolation and loneliness, and 34.4% experience burnout.
What If the Missing Piece Isn't More To-Do Lists… But More Alignment?
Now imagine this:
Instead of running on empty, you feel clear and focused. Instead of stress headaches or mid-day crashes, your body feels energized. Instead of feeling like life is managing you, you’re in control again.
Remember: we started our businesses to be in control, not to feel controlled by them.
That’s the shift that inspired the GSD Wellness Code. And this blog is part of a real-time movement built around it. If you’re ready to take a pledge towards your wellness, keep reading..
What Is the GSD Wellness Code?
The GSD Wellness Code is an 8-step framework designed to help you take care of your whole self, so you can actually Get Shit Done. Not by doing more, but by doing what truly matters, and taking care of your body, mind, and energy first.
We call it SELF-CARE. And each letter stands for one core area of wellness (which we take you through on our 8-Week online course):
🤝 S – Social:
Cultivating meaningful connections and fostering a sense of community
😌 E – Emotional:
Mental Wellness – Managing stress, emotions, and mental health
🧠 L – Lifestyle:
Intellectual Growth – Honoring cultural identity and heritage. Professional Development
💸 F – Financial:
Effectively managing finances and alleviating financial stress from the past, present & future
🏃♀️ C – Care:
Physical movement + Nutrition – Focusing on movement, nutrition, and quality sleep to support overall physical health and well-being
🧘 A – Awareness:
Spiritual energy + Intention – Embrace your power to shift the energy in a room, seeking purpose and connection that feels right
💞 R – Relationships:
Intimacy/Sexual Wellness – Cultivating meaningful connections, deeper intimacy, fostering open communication, and greater self-awareness
🌱 E – Environmental:
Designing sustainable, supportive spaces that incorporate natural light & fresh airflow while minimizing exposure to household chemicals & everyday products
Every week, we’re featuring real people sharing how they’re making small but powerful changes in one of these areas so you can be inspired to create your own ripple effect.
In fact, studies show that when entrepreneurs and leaders prioritize health, productivity increases by up to 23%. Proof that when wellness leads, performance follows.
The Power of Sharing Your Story
In January of 2025, I was invited to share my story about my near-death experience and the moment the GSD Wellness Code truly began to take shape. During my keynote at the Emerge Event Collective retreat in Denver, I was sharing how biohacking changed my life—yes, that word might sound “techy,” but really it’s about listening to your body and upgrading your habits one small step at a time.
Sitting in that crowd was someone who truly heard the message…
Brian Franklin and his wife came up to me right after the talk and confessed that a few minutes into my talk, he found himself scrolling and hit “checkout” on a walking pad order—before my keynote even ended. Brian, like so many other entrepreneurs, just needed to hear that biohacking actually works. It’s a simple formula, but you have to follow it.
Fast forward a few weeks, Brian shared his data with me that we set up during the conference together. And he was just days away from walking 10,000 steps a day for 30 days straight.
We became fast friends and Brian started the ripple effect and he started getting messages inspiring others to take action, on doing one simple thing everyday.
On day 30, we went on Instagram Live to share his inspiring journey with others. The most mind-blowing part? In just the first quarter of 2025, he walked more steps than he did in all 12 months of 2024 combined. When you don’t measure what matters, it’s easy to miss the progress. But here’s the truth: your life matters. And we’re sharing this because one small shift really can spark a powerful transformation. It did for him and it can for you too.

So let’s break it down. Here are a few real tips to start your own GSD Wellness Code journey today:
💡 Walk While You Work – Set One Reasonable Goal
Why it works: Movement boosts blood flow, improves focus, and helps your body process stress better.
Try this: Add a walking pad under your desk or take a few meetings while standing. Set a step goal like 5K or 10K steps a day, and let consistency build momentum. If you need to know what to get, DM me
💡 Track One Thing That Matters
Why it works: What gets tracked gets changed. Awareness is the first step to wellness.
Try this: Track your steps and before you go to bed, make sure you’ve met your goal for the day.
💡 Pick One Area of Wellness to Focus On
Why it works: You didn’t get unhealthy overnight, and you’re not going to fix it overnight.
Try this: Choose one from any of the 8 SELF-CARE dimensions in the GSD Wellness Code:
Social, Emotional, Lifestyle, Financial, Care, Awareness, Relationship, Environmental.
Which one feels off right now? Start there.
For me, I started with physical care and started with moving 10k steps everyday for 365 days.
