Episode 77: Feelings Help Defrost Your Heart [featuring Montoyia McGowan]
Vulnerability can be both frightening and liberating as a business owner and just as a person in general.
When we are real and honest with who we are, we attract more of the people who lift us up and support us and our business. At the same time, others get to see sides of you that not everyone will agree with or like.
However, being vulnerable also allows you to speak your truth and live in a way where you can be more honest and open about your feelings, wants, and needs.
If you feel like you've been holding yourself back and worrying about how others perceive you to a point where you aren't living your best life, then this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk with my good friend, Montoyia McGowan, owner of Stopping the Chase Counseling and Consulting, a therapist, a speaker, and host of the Bougie Black Therapist Podcast.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
Embracing vulnerability as a business owner and as a person, in general, can be a scary yet freeing experience. While it may attract those who support and lift you up, it also means opening up to potential criticism or rejection. But vulnerability is worth it and enables you to live more authentically, speak your truth, and express your emotions more openly.
