Farya BarlasGuestMasha GoinsHostIf you listened to last week's episode with Faria Barlas, you know we talked about something that I think every woman entrepreneur experiences at some point.
Why success isn't just about strategy, right? It's about these stories that we've inherited, this conditioning that we've absorbed, and the nervous system patterns that quietly shape our every decision that we make or don't make in our business.
We talked about our childhood trauma, the witch wound, how imposter syndrome comes up, and why so many brilliant women unknowingly keep themselves playing small and it's not because you aren't capable but it's because growth actually can feel unsafe and that's a real thing and oftentimes you think that you're the only one that's feeling this and that that you must be like you know crazy for feeling all of this stuff and for overthinking everything and just feeling like this raw exposed nerve but And we're actually talking about the fact that, you know, this is normal.
And this is something that all women entrepreneurs struggle with in one way or another.
We're talking about what happens after awareness and how you actually expand your capacity for success.
And why so many women entrepreneurs discover that you're more afraid of success than failure and what it actually means to regulate your nervous system while building a business.
So this is one of those conversations I know you'll be thinking about for a long time.
And so let's jump back in with part two of my conversation about trauma and business with Faria Barlas.
