Imposter syndrome does not usually show up alone. Perfectionism comes right with it. If you have been waiting to feel ready before moving forward, this conversation is for you.
In this episode of The Karas Wright Show, Karas Wright sits down with Jeannine Coupland of Pisces Acupuncture to talk about the real emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship: self-doubt, perfectionism, staying accountable, and why community is often the missing piece.
This episode is for entrepreneurs and business owners who are second-guessing themselves and need a reminder that they are not alone, and that progress builds more confidence than perfection ever will.
What you will learn:
- Why imposter syndrome and perfectionism show up together
- How to keep moving forward when self-doubt is loud
- Why community and connection change everything for small business owners
- What the mind-body connection means for entrepreneurship stress
- How to know when stress is normal versus a sign to realign
