Caretaking & Entrepreneurship: a dialogue that sees us in our truth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this expansive and deeply honest conversation on The Authentic Creative: Expanding Our Capacity to Feel Good, I dialogue with an incredible group of women about entrepreneurship, caretaking, creativity, nervous system regulation, motherhood, perimenopause, ambition, sisterhood, and what it means to build a life that actually feels aligned.
We began together in live breathwork, releasing grief, pressure, exhaustion, overwhelm, and expectation before moving into a vulnerable and powerful conversation about the realities of holding so much as women.
This episode is an invitation to soften, to reconnect with yourself, and to remember that you do not have to carry everything alone.
In this episode, we cover:
• The invisible emotional labor women carry every day
• Entrepreneurship, motherhood, caretaking, and creative ambition
• Learning to stop overfunctioning and allowing others their own journeys
• Perimenopause as an initiation into deeper wisdom and self trust
• Nervous system regulation and emotional resilience
• Sacred sisterhood and the healing power of being witnessed
• The importance of creating spaciousness and rest
• Breathwork as a tool for release, reconnection, and transformation
• Letting go of perfectionism and performance
• Boundaries, self care, and understanding your true capacity
• Creativity, divine timing, and trusting what is unfolding
• The relationship between clutter, overwhelm, and emotional energy
• The “witching hour” and listening to the whispers within
• Reclaiming softness, self love, and presence
• Learning to celebrate ourselves instead of constantly moving the goalpost forward
