Episode 50

This is Episode 50!

There were many times, I was not sure I could make it to 20, 30, 40 let alone 50 episodes. Then again, I am the type that will push through most things if I’ve committed to a goal. That doesn’t mean I come out on the other side healthy, mental fit, or emotional sound but I’m working on that part. Since January 2020, when I started planning this podcast, I have been working on the mental and emotional balancing of being an entrepreneur. 

In Episode 40 (one year of podcasting), my mom asked how I balance life and this project… Well, I don’t always make it work. There have been many tears through lockdowns. I would hit a wall, push through, hit a wall, break down, get up and try again.

At one particular breaking point, I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a post in the local women entrepreneur’s group. At first, the word clarity sounded like a luxury. Seeking clarity sounded like hiking a mountain, sitting on a pillow and waiting for an awakening. Even after I knew that Clarity was more than a whimsical journey, I still struggled to justify taking the time for myself as a mom of two and spending the money I was not yet earning with my business.

It was after a long conversation, at the end of a particularly difficult day, that my husband said, it’s worth spending the money because we are investing in you. Without you this (household management, the organisation of our lives, the up keep of everything that helps our family thrive) does not work. As you can see, my husband has been my biggest supporter, but putting all the weight of my stress on him was not sustainable. So I took a chance and signed up to try my hand at clarity.

Keltie McGuire helped me sort through all the what-ifs, the maybe-nots, the fears and expectations to find my Clarity. She helped me balance how I look at work culture, especially as a solopreneur, to help align how I work with the bigger picture of what I want for my life. One of my biggest take aways – I’m allowed to sat no to opportunities. I get to choose how I cultivate my life and I am moving forward with clarity.

In this episode, we explore: 

What is Clarity?, why Keltie sought it for herself, how she helped me, and where we go from here. Because clarity is not just knowing what we want, need and value, it’s taking action. Getting Unstuck and In-Motion!
