Taking time to identify your personal values, and assessing whether your current priorities reflect them, is hugely impactful. Your values are those core principles and beliefs that serve as an internal compass guiding your decisions and behaviors. They speak to the very heart of who you are and what gives your life meaning.

Here are a few examples of personal values:

Integrity - Connection with others - Growth- Autonomy- Creativity

Despite decades of building an incredibly profitable company, my client was convinced "I don't deserve this...I'm not smart or creative enough to have achieved all this." She was plagued by the overwhelmingly stressful belief that her success could crumble at any moment.

Ripping off the fake entrepreneur masks portraying polish is long overdue. Getting real and asking for help is where the magic awaits.

As a coach who’s lived many entrepreneurial lives myself, and worked with hundreds of small business owners, I know there's always a way forward, no matter how stuck you feel.

My mission is guiding business leaders to embrace and learn from challenges so they can unlock sustainable success that is true and authentic to themselves.

Does your business truly align with your personal values?

I don't just mean in an aesthetic logo and branding way. But down to the core operations, team culture, client experiences and leadership decisions.

So who else struggles with imposter syndrome? 🙋‍♀️

Look I know it’s a trendy topic, but honestly, I’m raising my hand to admit I've struggled deeply with imposter syndrome throughout my entire professional journey. That feeling that at any moment you'll be 'found out' as not good enough or qualified enough is exhausting to grapple with alone.

From experience of working with some incredible leaders and business owners over the years, many of them incorrectly assume imposter syndrome = lack of confidence. Equally if you are to believe one popular influencer (no names mentioned) imposter syndrome is good because it makes you work harder....oh hi there burnout...

But here is the difference:

In my recent burnout survey, I wanted to find out how many of us are navigating life while feeling like we're "running on empty."

I asked respondents to rate their energy levels on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 represents abundant energy and 5 signifies overwhelming struggles. The results were both eye-opening and concerning.

I'm pretty confident that one of the biggest contributing factors to the burnout I experienced was my inability to put in place boundaries. I see it with clients all the time too - overextending themselves, disregarding their own needs and going out of their way to accommodate others - but at what cost?
