Supporting Your Mental Health As An Ambitious Entrepreneur

At what stage of your business growth should you prioritize your mental health? 

When is it a good time to invest in support on your entrepreneurial journey? 

Is it normal to struggle with motivation while running a business you love?

After last week’s brilliant episode with Saša Harper, the feedback we got from the wellness community spoke volumes about the urgent need to increase accessibility in our businesses. But that also got me thinking about the struggles of entrepreneurship which don’t get talked about enough, as we hurry towards the next milestone in our business success story. 

In today’s episode of The Wellness Entrepreneur Podcast, I talk to you directly about my own experiences and struggles while growing a thriving wellness business.

Inside the episode, I explain: 

- How I check in on my own mental health 

- Why I seek out discomfort and how it helps me grow

- The need for a support system of fellow entrepreneurs

Sometimes the best advice can feel inaccessible because it speaks to a neurotypical audience by default. 

This is especially disheartening in the wellness space because most of us gravitate towards it seeking the comfort and support it offers.

For a lot of entrepreneurs, their creative talent is their strength, while running a business is something that they're having to learn on the go.

What if you’re passionate about more than one field? How do you know which one is the right fit for you?

When choosing a niche to build your business, you have to take many material and spiritual considerations into account.

Ayurvedic Science in the Modern Wellness World with Puja Vashisht

 

Do the endless ‘quick fixes’ popping up in the wellness space ever make your eyes roll? Yes? ME TOO!

The reality is - the superficial nature of these hacks can often turn well meaning clients and practitioners away from practices that could truly benefit their overall health and well-being (and business!)

After all, the goal of the wellness space has always been to find ways to support people to support themselves, but it’s becoming increasingly important that we check who we’re getting our information from, and how solid these sources really are.

Today, I talk with Puja Vashisht - a learned Ayurvedic practitioner and wellness coach - and we get honest about the difficulties clients can face in taking the often hard steps to improve their lives and businesses, and abandon the mindset of reaching for quick fixes.

Puja takes us through her path from being a skeptical child growing up in a household that practised the tenets of Ayurveda to learning to...

Unlocking the Potential of Our Natural Cycles With Jema Lee



Do you ever have days when you wake up planning to power through your schedule, but your mind and body just says ‘NO’?

What if I told you that there is a way to know exactly which days of the month you’re likely to feel this way - and that you already have the tools to navigate this.

The only thing missing is the knowledge of how to use them.

Historically, women who knew how to tap into their natural cycles and understood its raw power scared the patriarchy.

Unfortunately, not much has changed - talking about menstruation is still taboo in most societies!
