Published 13 days ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader

"Positive does not mean 'good vibes only.' Positive, because in fact, 'good vibes only' is actually pretty negative. For me, positive is caring for ourselves and others, and that actually soothes and alleviates distress. And what is more positive than that?"

Ever felt like you're stuck in a loop of always trying to stay positive, scared of missing out, and endlessly comparing yourself to others?

This constant pressure can really mess with your head, leaving you anxious and your mental health taking a hit.

It's a tough cycle that can make your work life feel like you're running on empty.

This is why understanding the mental and emotional battles that come with entrepreneurship is super important for nonprofit consultants and coaches looking to grow their businesses without burning out.

For entrepreneurs, embracing vulnerability and self compassion particularly around financial anxiety and money trauma is crucial for mental well being and business success.

It is important to acknowledge emotional challenges, seek community support and reframe negative beliefs to navigate the entrepreneurial journey with resilience and a more holistic sense of positivity.

In this episode of Confessions with Jess and Cindy, we're diving into the nitty-gritty of mental health for entrepreneurs, tackling the big challenges head-on, and sharing ways to come out on top with a healthier mindset and a business that's not just surviving, but thriving.

Get ready for some eye-opening conversations and tips that could change the game for you.

Key Highlights:

  • The Myth of Perpetual Positivity
  • A Revolution Against Comparison
  • Building A Supportive Community
  • Healing Financial Trauma
