Shownotes

I recently gave this presentation to a local coworking space and I wanted to share it all with you! In it, I explores how our brains unintentionally sabotage our dreams and goals.

In this review of how our brain approaches new experiences, I explain the motivational triad and its impact on entrepreneurship and goal setting. We'll learn insights into common emotions like fear, overwhelm, frustration, blame, and playing small, detailing how they hinder our progress.

With practical examples and the "head-heart-hands" model, I’ll offer strategies to reframe thoughts and drive actions that will help us accomplish our greatest business dreams. This episode is perfect for women starting coaching businesses, launching side hustles from home, or anyone striving to achieve their dreams!
