123 | Turning Trauma into Triumph: Navigating Mental Health and Entrepreneurship

As an entrepreneur myself, I've realized that building a successful business isn't just about strategy and hustle; it's about healing and growth. 

Here's what you'll learn in this insightful episode: 

• The difference between 'little T' and 'big T' traumas and how each impacts our lives and businesses differently.
• The profound connection between feeling good personally and the success of your business, and vice versa.
•  How struggles from our past can drive us positively in our entrepreneurial pursuits, pushing us to achieve beyond expectations and the dangers of operating in survival mode and the importance of transitioning to a thriving mindset to avoid burnout. 
• The importance of setting boundaries, seeking therapy, or community support to manage and understand recurring patterns in business behavior.

Join me in this episode as I share lessons, anecdotes, and thought-provoking questions to help you recognize and manage your past for a thriving personal and professional life.
