Business coaching and the truth we avoid (Ep. 57)
In this episode, I dive into the struggles of balancing business and motherhood during a tumultuous sleep regression with my daughter. Despite exhaustion, I'm fired up about addressing the overwhelming online advice and pressure to grow businesses. A transformative ChatGPT prompt led me to a deep reflection on my own patterns and the intimidation I feel about fully owning my influence.
I critique the high cost and questionable value of business coaches, emphasizing that we can find empowerment and success within ourselves. Through personal anecdotes, I stress the importance of self-honesty, realistic goal-setting, and the dangers of comparing oneself to others who are far ahead in their journey. Tune in for some raw truths and reflections on navigating this rollercoaster of life and entrepreneurship.
