Re-broadcast: Joanna Gaines on Learning to Let Go of Guilt and Anxiety


Listen Later

Author, businesswoman, designer, and chef Joanna Gaines used to let guilt and anxiety consume her. As a mom of five children, and as one half of one of the most successful lifestyle brands in the country, Joanna is now battling her burnout by letting go of those feelings. This week, we spoke to Joanna about that shift to free herself from the pressure of expectations and what it’s unlocked for her, professionally and personally. 


In this episode, Joanna shares: 

  • How she and Chip built a loyal and diverse audience 
  • Why she still has a “small business” mindset, despite all her success
  • The realities of raising five children and running her business
  • How she’s dealt with the pressure of other people’s expectations – and her own 
  • Her favorite activities that spark creativity
