Wired & Worthy

FIGGI Skincare is a few weeks away from finally launching. Although so much has gone into this launch, and there is a lot of excitement around it, there is also fear. Fear of failure, fear of not achieving the aimed goals, fear that no one will like the skincare or buy the skincare.

Jeanne gets candid about what it really takes to launch a skincare line. She talks openly about the fear we all feel in launching a new business venture and lays to rest the pressure that we feel to be forever confident in these situations. She shares what it has taken to get here, her fear of failure, and her inner doubts.

She talks about the snowball thoughts that overtake the mind when you are on the precipice of finding out if your hard work is worth it or not. Will it pay off or crash and burn? These are feelings that are normal to go through when you have invested so much but that we are often not told about by business coaches and self-help mentors. Instead we are conditioned to be confident, to not doubt and only cling to blind belief that it will, in fact, be a success.

Jeanne mentioned the first My FIGGI Life Podcast episode: The Birth of FIGGI.

Jeanne has struggled with the concept of meditation for 14 years. She explains how her idea of meditation and what meditation was, held her back from enjoying the full benefits of mindfulness and quiet space. Through the years she had to adapt her meditation practice to something that worked for her and fit into her lifestyle. She explores the top 3 things that helped her achieve better results with meditation and how these affected her anxiety levels.

She first looks at guided meditations and explains how these have helped her to relax more easily, and to meditate more successfully. Check out the channels she recommends: Great Meditation, Declutter the Mind and Mini Meds.

Secondly, she looks at the power of noise canceling headphones and how these help her to get to a calmer space while meditating, but also while doing other daily chores. Check out the Sony headphones Jeanne uses  here.

Lastly, she looks at what meditation means to her and that this does not necessarily have to ten minutes of zen pose and deep breathing.
