women entrepreneurs
Building something that comes from you will ask more of you than many other jobs ever will.
Many women entrepreneurs already know what they're building and why it matters to them. The doubt shows up in the places where older, familiar ways of protecting themselves begin brushing up against the life they're trying to create, like continuing to bump into a ceiling as you start to rise.
Starting a business has a way of bringing things into the light you may not have had to confront so directly before.
Entrepreneurship requires an expanded capacity for vulnerability and self leadership.
At first, building a business is about finding the right niche, building a website, learning how to market yourself, or figuring out your finances. These will always be part of it.
But then the work begins asking whether you can trust your own decisions without waiting for permission, whether you can let your work be seen before it feels perfect, whether you can tolerate uncertainty, whether you can receive what you've been working toward without immediately questioning whether you've done enough to earn it.
Building a business is also a process of expanding your capacity to live in the skin of the woman who can hold what you’re building.
Entrepreneurship can be a surprisingly lonely place to grow. It is, in many ways, its own kind of initiation.
What happens when your life begins stretching toward something you've wanted for years, while another part of you is still growing into the person who can fully inhabit that life? Those moments can feel surprisingly lonely, because there are parts of growth that can't be lived by anyone else.
Initiations aren’t meant to be navigated fully alone, but with an experienced guide.
My approach integrating depth therapy, Brainspotting, and somatic work helps to bridge the space between understanding where you're headed and feeling able to fully embody and live into it.
