Ep 19: Getting Off The Emotional Roller Coaster of Business Ownership

In this solo podcast episode, I discuss the emotional roller coaster of business ownership. I dive into: -examples of the "emotional roller coaster" of business ownership -the difference between supporting the emotional roller coaster with "mindset work" vs. somatics -the 2 key pieces that mindset work misses, and why it holds you back -the reasons I prefer somatics with my clients, and why I believe it's more effective than mindset work. Emotional activation and nervous system activation is a part of business ownership that never "goes away"; it continues to morph, evolve, and change depending on your stage of business. That means that learning how to support yourself through it is key-and the earlier you can learn that, the better!

Podcast, I explore: -5 reasons that slow business isn't just advantageous for you as a HSP or neurodivergent business owner, but also for your business -why slow business is more sustainable and allows you to be around for the long haul in your business -why slow business of often more ethical -how slow business allows more opportunities to be aligned with your values.
