E105: Systems That Save You—How to Stop Hustling and Start Scaling with Ariana Refsdal

Are you drowning in DMs, forgetting emails, or recreating the wheel every single time you get a new order? You're not lazy—you're just overloaded. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to create systems that support your creativity instead of stifling it.

I'm joined by Ariana Ruffstall, operations strategist and the "ops bestie" every creative entrepreneur needs. We talk about why so many business owners resist structure, how to implement supportive systems without losing your flow, and the real reason why outsourcing might be the smartest (and most aligned) move you make this year.

• How to systematize without selling your soul
• What to do today if you blow up overnight
• Why automation isn't the enemy—and how it can help you sleep
• The subtle mindset shifts that move you from reactive to ready

Whether you're a baker, brand strategist, or somewhere in between, this episode will change how you approach your business behind the scenes.
