The lonely side of business (and what to do about it) with Unni Turrettini
Strange question, but hear me out: ever feel lonely on this entrepreneurial journey? I think you're going to love today's episode with human connection expert, Unni Turrettini. She's got some surprising and insightful takes one why this whole biz-building thing can be so freaking hard. If you feel like you're floundering and can't share your struggles for fear of looking weak... this one's for you.
Can't-miss moments:
- "Nobody wants to talk about loneliness..." the blunt (and frankly wrong) feedback Unni got from the first few events she spoke at, and what kept her motivated to keep speaking...
- Angie rant alert: kicking off the show inside the first ten minutes with a rant about comparing pain and telling people they don't get to complain (my take might actually surprise you)
- Let's set this unspoken fear on fire: "If I'm feeling lonely and I'm struggling, then it means I failed." Unni has a powerful message that will help you reframe your relationship with loneliness, power, and business...
- Unni's badass advice on how to shut down that inner critic telling you 'who do you think you are?' - a must-hear for anyone wanting to stop playing small...
- STOP STEALING OTHER PEOPLE'S JOY (you have to listen to get it - and start asking for help, too!)
