Hi friends!

 

Today I was inspired to quickly record another Biz Pep Talk episode, but this one is really a biz/life pep talk.

 

I had a coffee meeting with a client who recently launched a sustainable clothing line and she was telling me about all of the challenges she’s facing with manufacturing issues and product delays. Then, I heard from an author friend who sent me a message. And THEN, a media colleague.

 

Three separate women but a common theme: overcoming hardship, self doubt, and not giving enough credit to where it’s due (hint: ourselves!).

 

I keep finding scenarios in my own life that remind me- maybe this wasn’t supposed to be easy. And maybe I’m made for this!

 

It reminds me of a verse I read recently in Esther 4:14 (the popular one you’ll see in beautiful script on posters and mugs): "….perhaps you were born for times such as this." So, I pulled out my Bible again (two of them, actually, because I’m intrigued by the different translations out there) to re-read it and to see how it may apply to our everyday lives.

 

I hope this episode will give you a new perspective on what it means to embrace hardship & uncertainty. If it does, let me know over on Instagram @emilyrichett!
