Don’t Chase Satisfaction – Choose It!

Published on: 10th February, 2020

It feels like so many of us go around in a state of dissatisfaction a lot of the time, but I don’t think we are doing it on purpose. I think we get a lot of messages that encourage us to be dissatisfied with our lives, our bodies, how much money we make, how we run our businesses. This can be especially true for entrepreneurs, who live in the perpetual start-up culture of business ownership.

When we choose to feel satisfied, we can access our creativity and wisdom from a place of peace, gratitude, and gentleness. We don’t have to participate in the parts of our culture that constantly ask us to go harder, bigger, faster. 

In this week’s episode Laura and I are diving into this topic and how we can access satisfaction as a state of being rather than as a goal to achieve. We talk about why a gratitude practice is such a great way to shift into this mindset, how being satisfied positively impacts everyone around us, and how to define your own version of success.

About the Podcast

Women in the Business Arena™
There is no one right way to do business, there is just a right way for YOU! And many women in business are DONE with hustle, bro-marketing culture, and business tactics that are misaligned with their values.

Instead, more women are looking to build a business that honors their passion, gifts & wisdom.

If you are ready for a DIFFERENT way to operate your business - one that brings ease, challenges the patriarchal status quo, and helps you make a difference in the world (with both your business & your bank account), then this podcast is for you!

Sonya Stattmann uses her 21 years of experience working with thousands of women in business to facilitate honest, educational & inspiring conversations with other women leaders, business owners, and experts.

She also has regular conversations with our resident mental health expert, Laura-Shook Guzman, to tackle mindset, thinking, and the patterns that sabotage women’s path to business success.

This is a DIFFERENT kind of business podcast!
