Have you ever wondered why all the mindset work in the world sometimes isn't enough to create the success you're seeking? The answer might be simpler – and more profound – than you think.
Kirsten Tyrrel discovered this missing piece after years of entrepreneurial ups and downs. Despite building multiple successful ventures and even reaching millionaire status, she hit emotional roadblocks that mindset tactics alone couldn't overcome. The breakthrough came when she realized success requires more than positive thinking – it demands a genuine emotional connection between mind and body.
"That is the magical key," Kirsten explains, "and it sounds so hokey and woo-woo, but it truly is." She shares how early in her journey, rather than asking for strategies from a successful mentor, she asked what being a millionaire felt like. That embodied feeling became more real than her current circumstances – and within three years, she had manifested her first million.
But the journey wasn't without challenges. After business setbacks and personal tragedy, including her father's unexpected death, Kirsten found herself unable to move forward despite knowing all the right mindset principles. The key to unlocking her progress came through physically processing emotions trapped in her body, not just understanding them intellectually.
This conversation dives deep into practical ways to develop emotional intelligence as an entrepreneur. You'll learn to identify your natural stress response, recognize when old stories are limiting your success, and discover how true freedom comes from healing emotional triggers rather than avoiding them. Kirsten also shares powerful insights for parent entrepreneurs on modeling emotional regulation.
Whether you're building a business while raising a family or seeking more sustainable ways to achieve your goals, this episode illuminates the crucial connection between emotional intelligence and entrepreneurial success.
