165: Boobs, Bullshit, and Burnout

In this episode…chaos ensues. Wardrobe malfunctions, losing my train of thought, jumping from topic-to-topic, this episode and all that happens within is very fluid and unscripted: much like my business and motherhood journey. I'm not exaggerating when I saw that within the first five minutes of this episode, you'll hear the most embarrassing mishap of my podcasting journey so far…and we're over 160 episodes in! As we open the month of June here at The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth, we are breaking down what I've learned in my 7+ years of business, and how my experience as a woman has largely affected the way I show up as a leader and entrepreneur. Key Takeaways

10:05 The boobs of it all: minimizing myself, my talents, and my gifts and playing small, much like the pre-pubescent me who wanted to minimize certain "aspects" of myself.
20:40 The bullshit of it all: the structures we still ascribe to in 2024 that were put in place in the patriarchal 1940s and 1950s. From overtly misaligned gender norms to even subtle aspects of our work expectations, women have to handle a lot of extra bullshit as they are building their businesses.
34:20 The burnout of it all: ladies, we simply try to handle SO much. Trying to be strong all the time, trying to feel and look like we've got our shit together, and knowing that it doesn't feel as good on the inside as we sometimes see on the outside can come at a cost. Without properly practicing self-awareness and putting supports in place, we can teeter into the land of burnout when we try to tackle too much on our personal and professional journeys.
14:27 "A lot of what I've been learning in recent years about the choices we make as adults is rooted and grounded in some of the experiences and thoughts that we had as children."
18:18 "I knew for sure that the people that I saw running businesses or thought of as these, like, great business minds, whether locally or on the internet, they didn't look like me. They didn't look like a mom who was in her sweatpants and a hat. in her office with three kids coloring on the floor behind her."
20:40 "What I'm talking about here is the natural way that our bodies work, the hormones and how women operate on a monthly cycle. I'm talking about how we have emotions and feelings and those should not be separate from business. Business is personal."
