If you’re in the process of starting a business, you’re going to have to get over this fear that everyone out there is secretly judging your every move.

In this episode, I explain why you may have a fear of judgement and go over my best tips to move through this fear so it doesn’t stop you from reaching your goals.

In this episode, I’m joined by Tatiana Vilarea, a hypnotherapy specialist and inner success coach for purpose-driven entrepreneurs. We discuss how sometimes the blocks new business owners feel can’t really be transformed with just mindset work alone, and it takes a more trauma-oriented approach to release them. Tatiana shares her views on how these blocks are created and covers the fear of visibility and imposter syndrome in depth. 

In this episode, I’m joined by Tessa Hull of Messy and Successy. We cover the business ethos Tessa teaches entrepreneurs around growing your business just by being a decent human being and also talk about how she’s learned to be transparent in her business, especially around her mental health challenges, and how that’s served her in connecting with her clients more authentically.
