Business as an expression of Self

A business is not just a separate entity but an extension of one's passion, soul's calling, and Core Values. This holistic and whole system perspective is essential for creating a business that is not only successful but also deeply fulfilling. I believe that your business can reflect your deepest passions and values, acting as an extension of who you are and what you stand for. By integrating personal growth and self-care into my business strategy, I ensure that my business evolves in alignment with my personal development.

The role of the nervous system in self-doubt

From my experience I know that self-doubt often arises from a state of shutdown or overwhelm within the nervous system. Recognizing this physiological aspect is crucial for overcoming self-doubt and fostering self-trust. Being aware of when my nervous system is overwhelmed or shut down is the first step towards addressing self-doubt. Physical symptoms such as tension, fatigue, or anxiety can manifest as self-doubt, so it is important to pay attention to these signs and address them through self-care practices that help you reconnect with a state of feeling present, connected, stable and ‘safe enough’.

Embodied taking care of yourself and your needs

Transitioning from self-doubt to a deep sense of self-trust involves prioritizing self-care, defining success on my own terms, and making decisions aligned with my inner truth. Incorporating daily self-care practices such as Embodied Listening with journaling, Somatic Check-in, or gentle somatic movement supports my nervous system. Setting clear boundaries to protect my energy and time is also crucial, including saying no to activities or commitments that drain me.

Define Success on your own term and align with your inner truth

Creating my own metrics for success that align with my values and goals, rather than societal or external expectations, helps define success on my terms. I love celebrating small achievements along the way, because I know how it builds momentum and reinforces self-trust. Trusting my intuition in business decisions involves tuning into my inner voices/parts and following what feels right. Following subtle signs and synchronicities, which I refer to as "energetic breadcrumbs," guides me towards my true path.

Trust in yourself and Life

In this podcast episode I shared personal examples from my own business journey, highlighting the importance of trusting in something greater than oneself. This could be a higher power, the universe, or simply the natural flow of life. Cultivating a sense of faith and surrender in the business journey involves trusting that I am being guided and supported, even amidst uncertainty. Strengthening my connection to a higher power or source of inspiration provides a sense of purpose and direction in my business. This way of creating and growing your business allows to embrace and integrate feminine energy of allowing and co-creating with Life with a more masculine energy of planning and action taking.

You don’t have to do this alone

This is the kind of work we do in the Embodied Business Mandala, a one-year Mentorship and Mastermind Circle, designed to support female practitioners in creating thriving, sustainable, and sacred businesses. The program provides mentorship and a supportive community to navigate the challenges of building a sacred business while learning sustainable business practices that align with personal values and support long-term growth.

I encourage you to take time to journal, reflect, and reconnect with the concepts discussed in the episode. Using journaling prompts to explore the relationship with self-doubt and self-trust, and setting aside regular time for reflection and self-assessment, helps stay aligned with inner truth and make necessary adjustments.
