In July of 2018, I realized that despite having a deeply satisfying career and a wonderful family, there was something missing in my life of which I had not previously been aware. I was lonely. I longed for a safe place where I could be seen, where I could be heard, where I could be completely myself, where I could open up freely and where I could connect deeply on a regular basis. In this episode I talk about how I created a mastermind group with other women business owners.

If you are curious to learn whether this is something you’re interested in creating for yourself, I encourage you to listen to this episode.

I also share resources that I’ve used from Lori Harder and the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) that have helped me obtain the support I was looking for.

If someone ever told you that you’re not enough, that was a lie. You are an amazing, beautiful, unique human being deserving of love. You are enough. In this episode, I share tools that you can use to remind yourself that you are enough.

I also share resources that I’ve used from Christine Hassler and Cara Alwill that have helped me remind myself that I am enough.

Do you feel like you can’t truly rest until all the work is done?

Do you feel like you can’t play until all the work is done?

Do you have work spinning around in your mind when you are in a place where you are not at work and you want to be fully present and engaged?

Do you want more joy in your life but you’re struggling to find the joy?

In this episode, I explain that sparking joy in our lives isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. I encourage you to consider the thing or things that spark joy within you and to be deliberate about including the practice of those activities in your life. It might be as easy as dancing a little bit every day in your kitchen.

When you think you have made a mistake, do you have a hard time letting it go?

When you feel disappointed in yourself, does that sometimes set you into a negative spiral?

Could you benefit from learning tools to help you learn to be kinder to yourself?

Are you especially critical of yourself when it comes to parenting and your perceived failings?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, I created this episode of the Business Mamas Podcast for you. I also think it’s really not possible to truly love yourself and simultaneously feel hate in your heart for another person. So, one thing you can do to change the world in a positive way, is to start by being kinder to yourself.
