Running your own business can be a long and lonely road. As you reach out for community, you may be flooded by posts talking about “hustle culture”, “always earning”, and other popular philosophies around working that glamorize working yourself into the ground. 

As enticing as it can be to surround yourself with this kind of messaging, it’s not a lifestyle that fits everyone. Burnout, anxiety and other mental health issues are more prevalent among young entrepreneurs now than ever before, and the impact of depriving yourself of rest can be devastating. So how do you keep the balance between profit and personal self?

In today’s episode, we are joined by best-selling author, business mentor, host of the Lead with Love® Podcast, and sought after international keynote and TEDx speaker Jadah Sellner. Combining her own encompassing experiences of starting a business with her passion for founders succeeding in all aspects of their life, Jadah helps founders grow their businesses to the next level without sacrificing what matters most. 

Listen in as we speak about:

• Creating a support system, inclusive of coaches and mentors
• The importance of slowing down and investing in rest to avoid burnout
• Celebrating oneself and reflecting on what is working/not working in your business
• Building your business with love

And much, much, more!

TW: Violence against Black bodies, racism towards POC, and transphobia 

Welcome back to Finding Fearless! We have an incredibly educational and thoughtful conversation for you this week. We have the AMAZING Alyssa Hall of @arleadership on to talk about anti-racism in the workplace. 

Alyssa Hall is an African-American/Cuban woman and a life coach. Upon completing her training at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), she began her journey coaching corporate leaders and business owners on mindset and leadership. She now uses those same skills to coach on anti-racism.

Alyssa focuses on the personal growth each individual needs to go through to become anti-racist themselves. She also uses her own experiences as a Black woman to call attention to certain issues that may not be highlighted in the broader community.

In this episode, Alyssa and I cover:
- The reality of how the public reacted to the social movement of June 2020, and how Alyssa chose to transition to anti-racism and decolonization coaching 
- How equity and inclusivity work starts within and the first steps to doing that work internally 
- The “Kardashian Effect” and how to address cultural appropriation and appreciation through a lens of intersectionality 

We absolutely LOVED chatting with Alyssa and would HIGHLY recommend keeping up with her amazing work. You can follow her on Instagram and check out her website to learn more about her coaching opportunities.
