Beyond The Stethoscope

Favorite quotes of the episode: "Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint."

"Rather than being so focused on making the right choices, understanding that we have the ability to make our choices the right choices."

"Starting a business isn't easy, but it can be really gratifying."

"Happiness to me is contentment and gratitude."

On the topic of leveling out the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship: "It's important to have an outlet other than work and knowing what it is for you that levels you out and being aware of what you need at that moment to bring it back to neutral is so important."

Episode Overview

I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals.

With this episode, I'm kicking off a series of podcasts centered around entrepreneurship and how these amazing women, are living the life of their dreams, now.

In this episode, I talk with Jennifer Keiser Neundorfer, co-founder of Jane VC, a venture capital firm focused on empowering female entrepreneurs. She is motivated by the tremendous untapped potential of female founders, believes greater transparency, accessibility, and accountability will drive better returns and is creating a new norm where women are active investors at all stages of the capital stack.

Favorite quotes of the episode: "Happiness is Joy and Contentment."

"When you recognize your Inner Critic is just your habitual conditioned old computer programming mind, you don't have to take guidance from it anymore."

"The Secret to Life is learning how to manage the thoughts of your Inner Critic. If you aren't managing those thoughts, you are just living life on autopilot.

I absolutely cannot wait to hear from you and look forward to your insights and thoughtful comments.

In this episode, I talk with Joanna Kleinman from Dethroning Your Inner Critic to discuss just that!

BIO

She is a licensed psychotherapist, a national workshop leader, and upcoming author with more than 22 years of experience working in private practice with clients both locally and all over the world via zoom.

She created the online transformational program called "Dethroning Your Inner Critic™, and podcast. It is an approach that centers around her groundbreaking M.I.N.D Method, which consists of examining the habitual and conditioned thoughts and beliefs in our minds that have been playing on a repetitive loop for our whole lives and are as transparent as breathing.

She teaches clients to rewire the automatic hardwiring in their minds, not by changing the conditioned thoughts, but by breaking the habit of giving energy and attention to the conditioned thoughts and beliefs. The M.IN.D Method is one-of-a-kind, and its foundation is guided by the unconventional idea that you don't need a lifetime to learn, master and then change the processes of the mind. Most people try to change the external circumstances of their lives in order to think and feel the contentment and satisfaction they desire. Her methods focus on changing from the inside out. This is the type of transformation that leads you to 'waking up' and viewing the world in a different way.

Welcome, Joanna! Thanks so much for joining us today!

I'm so excited to jump right in and learn more about giving our Inner Critics the old heave-ho and learn how to live the life of our dreams!

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? "We are in an age where we are just nonstop with email and social media. Design your life now so you are having the thoughts and actions that make you feel balanced and at peace and finding joy is the most important thing."
