I don't hide the fact that I struggle with doubts and insecurities. We ALL do. That's why I created the podcast in the first place. But in today's episode, I open up more about my struggles and all the good heart stuff ... plus my latest heart's work!

 

WHAT'S IN TODAY'S EPISODE:

I’ve had my fair share of breakdowns caused by the overwhelm of my own doubts and insecurities. I know those emotions all too well. I’ve let fear drive my dreams while my doubts rode shotgun. So, I’m sharing my truth and my story with you today. I’m also introducing you to my latest heart creation, the reINSPIRED course - a 28 day inspiration binge for the girl boss who feels stuck and is letting fear and doubt drive her dreams. I know where you’re at all too well. So, I created this for you. Join us for the September class (starting 8/29)!

We put so much pressure on ourselves to have everything perfect before launching. We buy into the lie that in order to be successful we need to have everything in order, first. Holly shatters this lie with her amazing story of starting her coaching business with nothing but a Facebook group page and a freight train full of passion! She made her first $12k in just over a month. She shares how her coaching business began (completely unplanned!), how she knew when it was time to let go of her first business, and how a tough childhood has shaped the person she is today.

Everything doesn't have to be perfect. You don't have to have it all figured out. Launching a business, chasing your dreams ... they aren't picture perfect. Trust me, I know. But it's easier to obsess over every little detail and spend all of your time perfecting rather than launching. Sometimes that becomes our shield; from facing the fear of launching.

I never made rest a priority, glamorizing business and thinking I didn't really need it. Until I finally did. I burnt out. Like don't-want-to-do-anything-but-sit-in-the-couch-in-a-fog burn out ... That was when I first realized how important rest was ... not just for my health but for my sanity and creativity ...

As I worked through the creative process on my newest project, I found that doubt and insecurity kept creeping in and stealing my joy. In this episode, I share about how I’m learning to create without the fear of failure and my inspiration for doing so.

In business and in life, one of the biggest struggles we face is learning to accept our own stories. All too often, shame and judgement get in the way. Mira beautifully shares her story and her journey to overcome her own shame and fear of judgement. We talk about so many heart-deep topics in life and business - finding balance, running a business through heartache and bad days, imposter syndrome, and so much more.
