Listen Later

It can be hard to be a woman in business. While it's not uncommon for men to struggle with balancing home, family, work, and taking care of yourself, most would agree that women tend to experience that internal struggle at a much stronger level. So how do women handle it? How do we honor our professional ambition, while still supporting our families? How do we reach our desired levels of success in what have historically been male-dominated fields? And how can the men in our lives best support us?

In this episode, Amanda is joined by Sonya Stattmann, a coach and speaker on a mission to help women in business succeed using their natural gifts. We talk about:

  • How Sonya went from a point where life was seemingly falling apart to a place where she has a thriving business and a wonderful family
  • Why taking a traditionally masculine approach to business isn't always the right path for women
  • The importance of overcoming competition and jealousy between women in the professional world
  • How to approach the "juggle" between career aspirations and supporting your family
  • Why we think Brene Brown's "recovering perfectionist, aspiring good enough-ist" idea is such a great concept
  • Advice for men who want to support the women in their lives – whether that's colleagues, your spouse, your children or others
