Emotions: Your Secret Superpower

July 31, 2025 • Lianne Kim • Episode 358

Ever feel like you're doing all the right things in your business… but still not hitting your goals — and wondering what you're doing wrong?

This episode is your loving reminder that success isn’t just about doing, it’s about feeling — and the way we feel can offer powerful insights into what needs to shift in our lives and businesses.

In this heart-led solo episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story of chasing a big revenue goal and the emotional breakthrough that changed everything for me. I walk you through how to stop letting external achievements define your worth and start using your emotions as a GPS for aligned decision-making,

Together, we’ll explore the five most common emotions entrepreneurs experience — doubt, overwhelm, fear, frustration, and disappointment — and I’ll give you coaching questions to help you turn each one into forward momentum.

✨ Grab a journal — you’ll want to reflect on this one!

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why “feeling your feelings” is actually strategic, not soft
How to identify what your emotions are trying to tell you
Specific questions to ask yourself when you’re stuck in doubt, fear, or burnout
The hidden beliefs behind common emotional triggers
How to shift from emotional reactivity to emotional awareness—and make decisions from a grounded place
