To Make More Money, You Must Embrace Ease

Published on: 26th July, 2020

We are brought up to believe that we are not worthy in our ease.

As I was chatting with Laura this week for the podcast, that phrase leapt out at both of us. I think it is a perfect description of the default mindset so many of us are using to run our businesses. We think that our relaxation and ease are worthless and that we are only worthy when we are working ourselves to the bone to earn every penny.

This scarcity mindset is instilled in many of us when we are young and reinforced as we grow up. But when we hustle like this, we cut ourselves off from some of the most vital forces in our lives: our capacity to imagine, to create, to innovate and to connect. 

In this conversation Laura and I talk about why we need to stop over-owning in our businesses and focus on our zones of genius. We discuss the impact of hustle on our brains and bodies and why ease is the antidote for so many of the problems we face as entrepreneurs.

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!
