  • Episode 8: Overcoming the "go-getter" pressure in the time of Covid-19

    “Start that business. Learn that new language. Launch that blog. You have no excuse to be lazy!” are just a few messages we’ve received through social media and other platforms in the wake of this global crisis. Shelter-in-place has somehow translated to now having all of the time in the world. Except, many of us don’t, or, many of us do but actually need the time to process the crisis, and altogether recharge. Mompreneur, Sue Khan of Bermuda joins Christine in a solful conversation about how to successfully manage and/or launch your business, how to not get caught up in the toxicity of go-getter culture, and how to truly hone in on what is most important at this time, self-care, family time, and starting small.
