Quiet Messenger: Redefining leadership & messaging for introverts & sensitive souls

There’s another element to redefining your hustle which goes beyond simply taking care of yourself. And that’s setting up your business so it’s not as crazy-making. You can have amazing healthy habits, but it will be hard to truly achieve the peace and groundedness in your business if you are running around chasing things all the time. Something BIG is happening in Feed Your Hustle land. In this episode, I talk about a shift in how I see hustle and what clients are asking for. The other side of the hustle picture. “Recharging isn’t the only thing that feeds your hustle, feeling productive and aligned in your business also does.” –  Adria DeCorte Important Announcements: YOUR NEXT STEP: BOOK YOUR HUSTLE CLARITY CALL with me so we can uncover what’s keeping you spinning your wheels JOIN US!

As Type A, high-achieving women, we often dive into a “healthier” diet by making decisions about what we should eat based on the advice of experts, without even consulting how those foods make our own unique body feel. (I know I’m guilty of that!) This can easily swing us in the direction of over-controlling and result in stress and internal pressure to eat the perfect diet as well as guilt when eating “bad” foods. This is an episode not to be missed! I discuss a philosophy which filters into all the work I do: Balance Not Perfection… And how you can incorporate it to feed your hustle without overwhelm.  Important Announcement!
