After all, life is meant to be lived, and messy along the way. We talk about breaking the stigma of therapy, and the importance of your mental health.  There's no shame in asking for help and dropping the Pinterest-perfect lifestyle. We're all in this thing together.

Today we're diving into something common that makes us all human, and it's negative self-talk. We do this when we look in the mirror, when we scroll through social media, when we lay our heads down at night. We all do it -- and there are ways to 'undo' it and overcome those negative thoughts your inner critic is telling you.

Part of the strategy of overcoming is to pause, consider the thought, and think: is this thought real? Are these expectations based on something external, or are they real? What triggered this though?

Let's take a reality check together and take an inventory on whether these thoughts are realistic or not, and focus on the positive thoughts that counterbalance the negative ones! After all, we're in this together. 

Morgan sits down with her good friend Lauren Nelson to break down their commonalities and some of the most frequently asked questions they receive as Moms, entrepreneurs, Franchise Partners, career-driven women, and more.

Lauren, Franchise Partner of Bethel Park, PA, had been a long-time Burn member before learning of the opportunity to open her own location. She just didn’t see herself as a business owner or think it was possible. She started asking questions - none of which were ever received as silly or inexperienced. The more she learned, the more she could see herself in the shoes of a Franchise Partner. Burn’s mission was her true North throughout the entire opening process, which she trusted completely. In 2015 she found out she was expecting her first child, and by 2016 she had signed on to become Franchise Partner of Bethel Park.

Lauren fought the mental battle of feeling torn between her dream of being a SAHM and becoming a business owner. She’s an innate lover of people, a goal-setter, and a team player, which comes from her collegiate athletic background and competitive edge. Throughout the onboarding process, she kept waiting for a sign not to move forward with the business, or a red flag telling her it would take time away from her family - but that flag never waved!

To learn more about all of the opportunities waiting on the other side of self-doubt, check out this podcast and Lauren's full story.
