PINCH Pt.1 – When Growth Feels Uncomfortable, Not Wrong


Listen Later

Have you ever felt a quiet discomfort you couldn’t quite name—but couldn’t ignore?
This Soul Spa moment introduces The Pinch: a signal of growth, not failure.

In this first installment of the PINCH series within The Soul Spa on the EmpowerHER Business Podcast, Linette explores the subtle internal “pinch” many Black women entrepreneurs experience as they evolve. That tension, stress, or discomfort in your body doesn’t mean you chose wrong, need to start over, or are falling behind. It means something that once fit your life or business no longer aligns the way it used to—and your body is trying to communicate with you.

In this Soul Spa PINCH Part 1 episode, you’ll experience:

  • A gentle reframing of discomfort as a sign of growth, not failure
  • Insight into how your body communicates through stress and tension
  • Permission to stop questioning your path when things feel tight
  • A grounding pause to listen inward with compassion
  • Support for navigating change without panic or self-blame

This episode is part of The Soul Spa — short solo pauses you can return to whenever you need a moment of grounding.
