Heather's story is remarkable, transitioning from a six-year stint in the army to becoming a flourishing entrepreneur. She's worn different hats, from computer maintenance in government contracts to exploring the world of culinary arts, all with the dream of opening her own bakery. But life had its own twists, as her husband's decision to stay in the army reshaped her path. Heather gracefully embraced her role as a stay-at-home mom and eventually found her true calling in the realm of life coaching.
In this candid discussion, Heather and I open up about the traps of perfectionism and our struggles in accepting our own successes. We unravel the layers of these fears, unveiling how they sneak into various aspects of life, be it our businesses or even the way we raise our children. Our personal stories and insights will resonate with you, reminding you that you're not alone in these battles.
During our conversation, we tackle the concept of slowing down, a notion that many find challenging to implement in our fast-paced world. We address the fear of falling behind and the misconception that busyness equates to productivity. Building self-esteem is crucial in combating the toxic habit of comparison. We discuss evidence-based affirmations and debunk the "fake it till you make it" mantra, encouraging you to recognize and celebrate your own strengths. By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with invaluable insights and actionable tips to conquer perfectionism and the fear of success
