203:šŸŽ¢Ā Riding the Emotional Rollercoaster of Launching with Natalie Lue


Listen Later

Today we’re going behind the scenes of book launching, sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly (cries) resulting from the emotional rollercoaster that often surrounds the process of setting big projects loose into the world, including exhaustion, comparison, dashed hopes, and grief.

šŸŽ§Ā If you haven’t already, be sure to listen to Natalie on the Pivot podcast in episode 329: Five Types of People-Pleasers from The Joy of Saying No.

More About Natalie: Natalie Lue is the author of The Joy of Saying No: A Simple Plan to Stop People Pleasing, Reclaim Boundaries, and Say Yes to the Life You Want and for 8 years hosted The Baggage Reclaim Sessions podcast. She helps people learn how to reclaim themselves from their emotional baggage and increase emotional availability through self-care.
