Today I want to talk about how you might be choosing overwhelm & stress.
...And that might be very triggering.
Or it could be empowering.
I think if someone had told me last year that I might be choosing overwhelm, I would've said "I'm NOT choosing overwhelm! Are you crazy? YOU don't have a boat to renovate and YOU don't struggle with a chronic illness like I do. You don't understand."
And that would've been OK. I have compassion for anyone feeling overwhelmed, that kind of response is normal and valid.
Every entrepreneur has overwhelming things in their personal lives in one shape or another, some more than others.
And that's why I created this episode.
Because in a world where there is a lot of overwhelming stuff in peoples lives in one shape or another, we don't need our businesses adding to that overwhelm.
A lot of the stressful things in our personal lives might be out of our control and that can feel really disempowering, right? It does for me. And when things feel out of our control, sometimes we need to find healthy things we CAN control, things we CAN do or choose to help us feel more stable.
Business can be one of those things.
Sometimes I've seen myself and my clients/students getting so used to overwhelming personal life circumstances being OUT of their control, that they default to believing their biz is out of their control too.
Yes, in biz some things are out of our control (like the algorithm, inflation, and peoples buying behaviours.) But there is so much we CAN control. So much we can CHOOSE to do (or not do) that will help us limit the overwhelm we feel. And that can bring you more of a sense of power & empowerment. That's the goal of this episode. To help you see through your business that you have more power over how you feel than you think. Even if you don't have power or control over some things in your personal world.
In this ep we'll discuss:
- 4 choices you're making that cause business overwhelm
- How to stop disempowering yourself and take some control of your business and how it makes you feel
- Why I fell out of love with Instagram and what I did to fall in love with it again
- Much more! It's such a juicy episode.
Enjoy!
