Why the “5 A.M. Club” Isn’t Working for Me | CEO Mom, Burnout, and Real Balance

In this episode of The Business of Becoming, Steffany gets real about parenting, burnout, and why the “5 A.M. club” isn’t always the answer — especially as a CEO mom. She opens up about sleepless seasons, emotional capacity, patience with her kids, and what true balance looks like in this season of life. Steffany shares personal stories about motherhood, energy management, and learning when to stop, including a vulnerable moment with her daughter that changed how she thinks about patience and presence. She also breaks down how she structures her days with non-negotiables, batching, and intentional planning instead of grinding herself into exhaustion. If you’ve ever felt pressured to hustle harder, wake up earlier, or sacrifice your peace for success — this conversation is for you. Rest is not a reward. It’s a requirement. 🔗 LINKS: https://lnk.bio/steffanymvelasquez CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Introduction: Parenting & Balance 0:18 — Trying the 5 A.M.
