When was the last time you dared to change? In this episode, I'm talking about the dance partner most entrepreneurs know well yet resist dancing with; I'm talking about change. The tricky part of dealing with change is that intellectually, we know change is necessary and a promoter of growth by excellence. Still, change is also a door to the unknown, to uncertainty, and we are genetically programmed to distrust what's new, avoid it at all costs, and stick to the comforting tranquility of the predictable familiar spaces. Luckily, we can hack our own system and not only embrace change but learn to dance with it and get really comfortable with its presence. Throughout this episode, you'll learn how embracing change and getting comfortable with it can transform your career and your business, how you can help yourself embrace it more easily, how to deal with the old narratives that keep you immobilized, the crucial role of your support network in embracing change, and more. Tune in to episode 129 of Unstoppable Female Entrepreneurs and learn how to get comfortable dancing with change, getting used to its presence, and making the best of it.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why do most of us resist change?

What first thought comes to mind whenever you feel stuck in your entrepreneurial journey?In this episode, I'm talking about a feeling most entrepreneurs experience at least once (or dozens of times): the overwhelming sensation of being stagnant or stuck. To our brains, what is known and familiar is safe, so as long as things are constant and predictable, no alarms are set off. Yet, in entrepreneurial terms, when sales remain steady, it doesn't mean safety; it means the company is not growing. That is why every time we start thinking about entering unknown places, like new marketing strategies, adding new products, or creating new courses, our brains freak out and use their best arguments to convince us that it is too risky, that we might lose everything if we fail, or that we are not "that" good anyway to aspire for exponential growth. Throughout this episode, I invite you to join me as I explore the science behind why we feel overwhelmed and stuck and what we can do to navigate that feeling. I also share three simple yet powerful tips that'll help you transform your response to fear and uncertainty, manage stress and anxiety through self-awareness, and more.Tune in to episode 124 of Unstoppable Female Entrepreneurs and learn how to train your brain to get comfortable in the uncomfortable terrain of the unknown.In This Episode, You Will Learn:About the science behind the overwhelming sensation of feeling stuck (1:10)How increasing your adaptability can help (4:00)Three tips to transform your response to fear and uncertainty (5:50)How an external observer can help you transform your business (11:20)Let's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTube5 Keys To Breaking the $10K Code Free TrainingWellness Entrepreneur Mastermind

How often do you say "yes" when every cell inside you yells "NO"? In this episode, I'm talking about the mindset change necessary to get out of people-pleasing cycles and start choosing ourselves more often. As women, we are conditioned to become selfless caregivers who put everyone else's interests before our own, ensuring everyone has what they need when needed. These unhealthy societal norms, if reproduced, generate chronic people-pleasing, which develops into low self-esteem, burnout, and poor physical and mental health. But here is where it gets tricky: as entrepreneurs whose business is being at the service of our audience's needs and expectations, how can we find the balance between being at service without becoming a hostage of it? Throughout this episode, you'll learn practical tips and quick exercises you can add to your routine to avoid falling into a people-pleasing cycle. You'll hear about people-pleasing negative impact, the high cost you pay for saying "yes" too often, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries.  Additionally, we'll discuss the ultimate self-care commitment, why putting other people's needs before our own erodes our self-worth, the importance of self-compassion, and much more.Tune in to episode 123 of Unstoppable Female Entrepreneurs and discover how prioritizing yourself is the first step to becoming an unstoppable entrepreneur.In This Episode, You Will Learn:How to ensure you care for yourself as much as you care for others (3:20)People-pleasing makes us terrible role models for our kids (7:40)Yay!
