Episode 9: The Silence of the Boss
English
In the stillness of morning, before the sound of a fryer or the hiss of coffee, thereโs only silence. Thatโs when the weight hits hardest. The quiet moments when no one is watching, when the small business owner becomes a quiet soldier fighting battles unseen. Burnout doesnโt shoutโit whispers, and sometimes, it simply lingers in the air.
I run a restaurant in North Strathfield. Itโs bustling. Itโs loud. Itโs full of life. But inside me, it often feels quiet. My smile is service. My silence is burden.
Many small business owners wonโt speak of it, but we carry the weight of rent, payroll, family, and future all at once. Customers come and goโbut this silence, this pressure, it stays.
To all the silent bosses out thereโyouโre not alone.
