Are you trying to do business all by yourself? Many entrepreneurs get stuck in the idea that nobody else can do things the way we can. And it keeps us from becoming iconic.

But spending time outside your genius creates energy leaks that keep you from reaching the next level of income, not to mention fulfillment.

Jen Szpigiel is the certified health coach, certified life coach and business and lifestyle mentor behind Becoming Iconic, a publication and coaching practice that helps online entrepreneurs grow profitable and aligned businesses.

In 2003, Jen left her corporate marketing gig to become a stay-at-home mom. And while she loved being with her kids, she wanted more. Jen became an entrepreneur, and in the 18 years since, she has raised four kids and built multiple seven-figure businesses.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Jen joins Anjel to explain how she leverages the art of presence to navigate being both a mom and an entrepreneur.

Jen describes how letting go of martyrdom took her business from six to seven figures and shares the process she used to honor her unique genius and make decisions around what to delegate.

Listen in for Jen's insight on investing in your business before you're ready and learn how to become iconic through action versus waiting for validation from outside yourself.

"There are different ways of delivering subject matter that are just as effective, but you have to use different pedagogical muscles if you're teaching online versus working with students in person.

Martha shares the challenges brought on by the ever-changing technological advances for delivering information and the changing expectations of today's students and employers.

Martha says, "We hire the best, we give them our best, and when opportunity knocks, we wish them the best, but they'll leave us better than they found us."

Did you know that when you were a child, you created deep beliefs you don't even remember making, yet they inform your life now as an adult?

Experts have determined that we create our core beliefs of how "I am…" how "they are…" and how "life is… between our time in the womb and the time we are seven years old.

Some of these ideologies or 'vows' hold the key to why we keep repeating behaviors. Designed to keep us safe and serve us well, sometimes these beliefs linger long past their shelf life.

So, how can we discover and then release these childhood vows that are not serving us?

Kathi Sohn is the CEO of Body Memory Process, LLC. She holds a Master's in National Security Studies from the Naval War College and a Master's in Conflict Resolution from George Mason University. In 2020, after 36 years in the U.S Department of Defense, she retired and took up the charge to share the powerful Body Memory Process created by her late husband David in the 80s.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Kathi joins Anjel to share her journey from the Department of Defense to falling in love with David. She'll share how David's healing modality helped her overcome one of her deep-seated fears and changed her life (hint: she's appearing on the Wickedly Smart Women podcast TODAY!).

Listen in as she discusses how a life crisis often sends us on a journey of self-discovery. She'll share how the two-prong Body Memory Process can help us discover and release the childhood vows that are no longer serving us.

'Burnout isn't just overwork; it's lack of reward,' - Dr. Jacqueline Kerr

The cultural shifts that began in the late 60s and continued through the 70s brought new liberation for women.

But with that came ads like Enjoli's "Because I'm a Woman," which conditioned women to believe we had to do it all—sending us on a never-ending quest to achieve more each day.

These days, busyness is a lifestyle, and burnout has become part of the norm. But burnout can lead to BIG problems, like relationship deterioration, depression, substance abuse, and even illness.

So, how can we stop being seduced by today's busyness culture?

Dr. Jacqueline Kerr is a mom, behavior scientist, and burnout survivor. In 2018, she left her position as a public health professor and began the fight to dismantle working mom burnout. Through her TEDx talk and her podcast Overcoming Working Mom Burnout, she provides information and solutions we can all use to change the social norms around burnout.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Jacqueline joins Anjel to share how burnout forced her to leave her position as a public health professor, where she was in the top 1% of most cited scientists worldwide.

She'll walk us through why the culture of busyness is so damaging and the most important thing we can do when facing parental burnout.

Listen in as Jacqueline shares the techniques she uses to help her clients recognize the earliest signs and take steps to 'stop burnout before it starts.'

What led to Jacqueline's burnout

Why the culture of busyness is so damaging

The 3 stages of burnout

Why burnout occurs more often in countries where we expect gender equality (and it doesn't yet exist)

Why we seldom ask for help when we're facing parental burnout

How to recognize the earliest signs of burnout

The most important thing to do when you're feeling depleted

How to determine where you're overexerting yourself
