It’s easy to connect our self-worth to our business when everything is going well: successful launches, booking out, high-cash months… But what happens when you hit a dip? Will a failed launch, slow season, or low-cash month be a reflection of your worth? If you aren’t doing the work to detach your identity from your business, you’re bound to hit an identity crisis or two.

In this episode, we’re chatting about all the different ways our businesses have triggered our personal insecurities and struggles, from receiving client feedback to losing retainer clients. But we’re also dishing out the various ways we’ve learned to detach ourselves from the outcomes in our businesses!

5:19–18:12 - Signs your identity might be tied to your business
18:13–24:43 - The connection between boundaries and self-worth
24:24–36:41 - How your attachment style might be showing up in your biz
36:42–51:59 - The differences we’ve seen between rawdogging the day and starting it off grounded using morning routines
52:00–57:53 - The importance of setting realistic expectations and how to handle it when things don’t go the way you want them to
57:54–end - It all starts within YOU and if you don’t believe it for yourself, no one will (get outta here, external validation)
