Episode 019: Own Your Why | Maggie Gentry

Listen Later

Maggie Gentry started seeing a therapist when she started her business as a marketing consultant business coach in 2016. As she engaged in more meditation and wellness programs, she saw her personal life evolve as her work evolved. 

Today, Maggie sits down with host Jessie Browning to talk about how she developed her Own Your Why philosophy. She asked herself questions to determine her business’ purpose. “What am I worth?” “What is my work worth?” But most importantly, “why?” Hear her story of how going through meditation training resulted in her recent divorce.

    • Standout Quotes:
    • “So powerful to be in a room of women where we were given tools to move through that rage and that grief safely.” -Maggie Gentry [07:37]
  • “In addition to therapy, I think having the vocabulary that [Barbara Erochina] shared was extremely helpful for me to be able to understand that feelings and emotions are signals from my body and so not ignoring the signals that they’re sending.” -Maggie Gentry [16:42]
  • “I think for me, it’s staying really focused on why I'm doing this. Which for me, it goes back to what we shared, redirecting the conversation for how to be in business, being able to see those of us that choose to have a business is merely a way to channel the change that we want to see in the world. It is merely a platform.” -Maggie Gentry [37:45]
