With all of the moving parts involved in building your practice, the question of how to find joy in your business is maybe not that high on your list of priorities. But in the busyness of building a coaching business, it’s possible to kick up a sandstorm of negative emotions that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused and let’s face it, a bit dusty. I’ve talked about how it can bring up our feminine conditioning, the imposter complex and feel very, very messy at times.
So, without resorting to the mystic arts or trying to conceal these not so pleasant feelings, we are delving into the emotion of joy to find the answers.
This week I’m joined by my dear friend, Paula Jenkins from jumpstartyourjoy.com, as we deepen the conversation about this thing we call joy. You will discover all about exploring joy and how it can unlock your creativity, enabling you – and your business – to be seen online, in a way that doesn’t make you want to vomit on your shoes and leave you absolutely exhausted. You will learn how joy shows up for Paula, allowing her to be seen in her own life and brightly shining her light. Also, how joy has affected a well known 90’s heartthrob (I can’t contain my excitement for this part).
