Episode 116: Fighting Anxiety as an Entrepreneur with Katrina Aronson

This week’s episode is on a topic that was requested by an audience member around 9 months ago - how to run a business when you have anxiety. As I don’t suffer from anxiety myself I wanted to speak with an entrepreneur who did, so I’m delighted to welcome my guest Katrina Aronson to share her perspective on the subject.

Katrina is a business coach who helps her clients run and grow their business in a way that feels authentic to them. After leaving the corporate world and going onto scale a business from 0 to 6 figures in a year (and then on to multiple 6 figures after that), Katrina found herself struggling with overwhelming anxiety. After developing practices to move through how she was feeling, Katrina went on to create her coaching practice in a way that felt enjoyable instead of draining.

I think this week’s topic is going to resonate with a lot of you - whether you’re an introvert or extrovert.

We talk about:

• The tipping point when Katrina knew she needed to get help, instead of just putting another band-aid on
• The steps she took to move through her anxiety and why (literally) going upside down helped
• Why making money in business is a lot easier when doing so from a place of joy
• Why experimenting with self-care, mindset practices and outsourcing is key to feeling less overwhelmed (and why waiting until everything feels perfect isn’t at all helpful)
• Why testing changes for 3 months is the only way you’ll know if they work
