I’m always fascinated by the reasons that wellness business owners aren’t able to ‘just start now’ in their work and I know the reasons go deep. I’ve recently started therapy myself (long overdue!) as I’m finding there are certain things I know at a logical level, but that continue to hold me back despite all the coaching and awareness I have. 

I wanted to chat to someone more about what might have happened in the past that shows up in our businesses today and what we can do to ensure it doesn’t prevent us achieving what we want and there’s no better woman that Sinead Doohan who is a Clinical Transformational Hypnotherapist and Coach, supporting women to flourish without fear, without worrying about mistakes or what other people think.

In this episode we talk about:

The missing piece if you’re finding that business strategy and setting goals just isn’t getting you results 

The three biggest negative beliefs Sinead sees holding people back  

The fact that we have to ‘do the cleaning on the way to the rainbow’  

All the ‘shoulds’ and where they really come from

How the ‘inner work’ is an ongoing process and requires constant curiosity and compassion

When we’re working in our business we’re often not terribly kind to ourselves when things feel hard, when they go wrong or we’re not getting the results we want. This is why I thought a conversation with Helen Kelynack about the importance of self-compassion as business owners was a really needed reminder for all of us.  

In this episode we talked about:

What self-compassion is and what happens when we lack it

How the voice of self-compassion can also be a warrior and a cheerleader

The benefits of self-compassion to us as business owners

“This is tough” - acceptance of the fact that many things in business are hard and new to us, and the role that self compassion can have

The steps to bringing more self-compassion to our lives and business
