Hello Reader,

Do you know what the number one thing is that you need to know as an entrepreneur?
There’s nothing wrong with you!
That’s right!
Listen in to learn why it’s important to remember there’s nothing wrong with you as I chat with the Startups in Stilettoes hosts Richelle Pena and Carlyn Bushman (Product-Based Business Educator)​
As I grew my own business and began to understand the unique mental and emotional stressors that come with entrepreneurship, I realized that there was something sorely missing from the entrepreneur’s toolbox: mental health professionals who understand business ownership and its impact on mental health.
Today, I’m the Entrepreneur's Therapist, supporting women business owners to preserve their peace of mind as they ride the emotional rollercoaster of running a business. I’m also a speaker, teacher, and consultant working to transform the entrepreneurial ecosystem to include founder mental health as a business priority.
Tune in to hear about the most stressful part of entrepreneurship, the trouble with burning the candle at both ends, and the importance of practicing self-compassion for women entrepreneurs.
What we talk about:
🎤 Mental health challenges are inherent in entrepreneurship (05:42)
🎤Female entrepreneurs deal with internal systemic conflict and external systemic conflict (09:08)
🎤Shifting mindset when things are beyond your control (17:51)
🎤'Imposter Syndrome’ doesn’t exist (21:34)

​

Listen in here.

Gratefully,

​
