Feeling lost in the entrepreneurial wilderness? You're not alone. Join me, Coach Chef Kim, as we uncover the rarely discussed emotions that plague the entrepreneurial journey. From the biting loneliness to the gnawing uncertainty, we're getting real about what it takes to stand firm when your business world is shaking. My own rollercoaster ride from launching a bakery to reimagining my career amidst a pandemic is just the beginning. We're also celebrating the grit of a custom cookie and cake artist who transformed her personal and professional hurdles into a recipe for success.
The entrepreneurial road is paved with sacrifices, often unnoticed by the customers we serve. This episode peels back the curtain on the realities of hustle culture, the importance of setting boundaries, and respecting your own time. Hear my candid stories of late-night bakery runs and learn why it's crucial to align your business with your personal values. Plus, we dive into the psychological scars that can linger long after the oven cools down, exploring how past business experiences can shape our reactions to stress and our definition of success.
Your business should nourish your life, not consume it. That's why we're bringing focus to entrepreneurial wellness and offering a supportive hand to fellow business owners. Whether you're craving connection or ready to reshape your professional landscape, our free mindset group and the upcoming 90-day emergence coaching program might just be the sanctuary you need. Let's navigate these tumultuous waters together, redefining success to encompass life satisfaction and overall well-being. So, until our next sweet encounter, carry these insights with you as armor and inspiration on your entrepreneurial quest.
