“I think that was honestly me screaming for help and saying ‘I need you,’ shares Ahmed Mahgoub, ex-husband of host Chelsea Stevenson. In this episode of Hennapreneur, Ahmed and Chelsea continue the discussion on how the growth of Hennapreneur impacted their marriage.
Differences in perspective can make all the difference in a relationship. Chelsea put all of her time and effort into growing her business with the thought that this would benefit her family. Meanwhile, Ahmed felt their marriage was being neglected by Chelsea putting so many hours into the business. As the gap between their visions for the future was growing, the couple had a traumatic experience within their family that widened the gap even further.
Tune into this week’s episode of Hennapreneur for a continuation of the conversation with host Chelsea Stevenson and special guest Ahmed Mahgoub. They share how gaps in communication and differing perspectives on growing the business ultimately led to the end of their marriage.

Quotes
• “I think that was honestly me screaming for help and saying, ‘I need you.’” (19:23-19:28)
• “It wasn’t like I didn’t want you to be successful. It’s not that I wanted you to settle. But then maybe you perceived it that way. That fear of growth. Was I giving that perception?” (23:38-23:53)

March 03, 2022 053 • The Impact Building A Business Has On Relationships: A Series
“The biggest growing pain was feeling left behind. It was noticing the gaps that needed to be fulfilled,” shares Ahmed Mahgoub, ex-husband of host Chelsea Stevenson. In this episode of Hennapreneur, Ahmed and Chelsea discuss the impact building a business had on their relationship dynamics.
Ahmed and Chelsea met in middle school but didn’t get together romantically until Facebook reunited them ten years later. When they got married, Chelsea’s business was in its beginning stages. They divulge into the story of how Hennapreneur got off the ground and the impact that it had on their marriage. Ahmed was incredibly supportive of Chelsea’s goals for her business and their family and he moved into a head of household role as they were expecting their second child. He admits that this change was challenging for him and caused strain on their relationship.
Tune into this week’s episode of Hennapreneur for a conversation with host Chelsea Stevenson and special guest Ahmed Mahgoub. They share these personal stories to give insight into the behind-the-scenes of what a relationship looks like during the growth stages of a business.

Quotes
• “The biggest growing pain was feeling left behind. It was noticing the gaps that needed to be fulfilled, but then I couldn’t be the weight to hold you back. It’s like you were starting to take off and starting to go pro. Even when we moved in after that, seeing that now you are starting to kind of flap your wings. Maybe you haven’t flown yet, ut you have to maintain this balancing act and make sure that we have what we need as a family so that way you can step aside and start flapping your wings over there and see if you can take this off and fly and chase what you need to do. I want you to do that. It’s not that I didn’t want to. I wanted you to fly and I’m gonna cheer you on. But I’m gonna stay on the ground and take care of what we need over here and let you take off.” (0:02-1:03)
• “We met back in middle school. That’s honestly where we met. It’s crazy because you have the different groups in school. You have the different classes, the nerds at the bottom and the preppiness up top, and the norms in the middle. And then you had this unique group. A little hierarchy going on. She stood in the middle to upper class. That uniqueness. This is somebody who is true to themselves. I vibed towards something. It definitely stood with me for a while after that.” (5:41-7:14)
• “I had an interesting childhood. So, henna for me was one of the happy moments. Just seeing it, seeing the special occasions, seeing family members get married, seeing that henna gets put on them, that was one of the highlights of my childhood.” (17:20-17:36)

October 28, 2021051 • So You Feel Like Quitting?
I see you. I know it's really hard sometimes when you are in the thick of your business doing all of the things and you're not getting the results that you're looking for. And sometimes it becomes so challenging that you start to reach a place where you go, “I don't know. I'm not sure if I can do this or if I want to do this. Maybe it's best if I just quit now. Maybe it's best if I just let it go.”

And if you are in that place right now, friend, or if you've recently passed through that place, or if you feel inside of yourself that you're beginning to reach that place, this episode is for you.

October 14, 2021 050 • Marketing Your Business Outside of Social Media
Last week, global outages across the Facebook network left people all over the world without access to our primary social media platform for hours and hours on end. In response, I sent out a question to those hennapreneurs over on our email list and I asked what would happen if it were to stay down.

I sent out the email wanting to know the answer to one very specific question: How would you keep your business going if social media weren't an option?

In response, I got a ton of feedback from the Hennapreneur community with all different types of ideas on how they would continue to market their businesses without social media platforms, and in response to that, I decided that I'd host a little one-on-one private chat via Zoom, of course, so that we could discuss some lessons, some key takeaways of what the outage really should have highlighted for each of us as business owners.

If you weren't there live for the session, I want to let you know that you're not going to find a replay on social, but I am going to treat you to the replay of that private session here on today's podcast and I hope that you enjoy it.

If last week's incidences made you wonder, "Hmm, how would I market my business outside of social?" Well, you're really going to enjoy this episode.

The customer is always right, but are they? There are few things as awkward as addressing clients who push against your boundaries as a business owner. More often than not, I hear from hennapreneurs all over that they choose to bow to the client's demands in order to maintain the peace and to avoid any scandal around their business.
You may be surprised to hear, though, that this actually isn't something that I encourage.
In this episode, I'm sharing two recent examples of instances where enforcing boundaries with my clients came into play. You'll hear the nitty-gritty details of what happened, who said what, and how I handled each scenario.
If holding boundaries around your business is something you struggle with, grab your tea because you're going to really enjoy this episode.

September 30, 2021048 • Let's Talk Money Systems: "But Where Does Your Money Go?"
Many times, as creatives turned entrepreneurs, we go into the world of business with very limited exposure and experience to business finances.

In fact, many of the hennapreneurs I consult with explained that they don't have money systems in their business at all, because they feel overwhelmed by the whole idea, embarrassed that they don't know what they don't know, and really unsure about how to deal with their money once they get it in the bank.

In this episode, I'm breaking down some of the basic financial elements that I suggest building into your business for more sustainability and ease.

If looking at your money or knowing what to do with it is something that makes you nervous, then this episode is definitely for you.

September 23, 2021047 • You've Got Big Goals, But Do You Have Solid Foundations?
So often as business owners, we look to build the thing that excites us the most. We want to have the things ready, be it, our website or our logo or our branding. We want to be out there in the world showing up as our best selves, and we want people to buy in and book now, right?
And yet with all of these lofty goals, Oftentimes, we fail to make the decisions that are necessary in order to build a solid foundation for something that is both profitable and sustainable inside of our business. And it causes us to really miss the mark.
Recently, I had a conversation with my eldest child about a business idea that he has, and you'd be surprised by how. Similar concerns and the thought process that he had around built that business is two things that I hear from hennapreneurs every single day.
In this episode, I'm sharing some of the inner workings of some of the mistakes. Honestly, that business owners make when they're looking to build a business out and aren't yet prepared with the foundational pieces that are necessary for their own. If you've got big audacious goals that you're chasing right now, and you're finding it hard to reach them.

September 09, 2021045 • 3 Things to Release When You Aren't Yet Where You Want To Be
There's nothing quite like the pain of knowing that you desire and deserve more than what currently exists within your grasp. In business, this is particularly true because our success is directly dependent upon our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. When your businesses' growth, your personal fulfillment, and your bank balance are all reflective of the work you put in, it can be particularly frustrating when you look around and find yourself unsatisfied or unhappy with what you've got.

In this episode, I'm sharing three things that you need to release if you aren't where you want to be in your life and business today so that you can get to doing the important work of bringing your dreams to reality.
[00:00] Intro

[01:58] Wanting More Is Inevitable

[35:44] Let’s Chat: What "Shoulds", Judgments, Or Outcomes Are Keeping You From Taking Steps Towards Your Dreams?

[36:47] Outro
Join in on the conversation! What "shoulds" are weighing on your shoulders and keeping you from taking the next steps towards your big dreams? What judgment is lingering in your mind and whispering horrible things that keep you from the actions that you need to take? What outcomes do you need to release so that you can begin to move forward in your journey?
