  • A chat with your girls if your girls were accountants

    She Counts is designed to talk about the issues facing female accountants in their profession. Just finished listening to episode two about working through personal crisis when you own a firm. It resonated with me on so many levels. I do not own my own firm (yet) but going through my own mental crisis a lot of this episode resonated with me. I can’t wait to see what topics they cover in future.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Break Free From Burnout
Q: How can listeners start healing now?
Listeners should cultivate a trusted support network, implement an energy audit to rebalance roles, incorporate regular exercise to metabolize stress, and consider meditative practices to slow the hamster wheel and reconnect with what truly serves them.
Break Free From Burnout
Q: What is an energy audit and how does it help?
An energy audit helps identify which roles and activities actually give you life versus drain you, guiding you to balance work, caregiving, and community activities so you can respond to stressors rather than simply react to them.
Break Free From Burnout
Q: Lynnette, what does the burnout statistic actually mean for accountants?
Burnout refers to the impact of chronic stress on the whole person, and the 99% figure signals that almost all accountants experience some stress-related symptoms within a given period, highlighting the need for proactive stress management and prevention.
Space to Serve Well: The Beauty of Boundaries
Q: How do you handle onboarding and avoid scope creep or overwork for you and your team?
She describes a client manual, engagement letters, and welcome guides, plus automation and an answering service to funnel communications, so onboarding sets expectations and ongoing work is clearly defined.
Space to Serve Well: The Beauty of Boundaries
Q: Can I ask you a question about boundaries with clients?
Nayo explains that boundaries are about protecting time and energy, not about pushing people away; with clear upfront policies, clients learn how and when they can reach you, and teams can handle routine inquiries without needing her constant involvement.
