I am going to change my name to The Anxious Founder. lol Because the more I do these podcasts the more anxiety I realize I have. That's okay though because knowledge is power! Time anxiety has been something I have always had - as far back as middle school, but I don't think I've ever heard someone else mention it as if it were an issue before. Recently I had a high achieving client who brought it up and for the first time ever I was like, "Ohhh...this isn't just me!" This episode is just me wondering and googling about it. Please let me know what you think and if time gives you anxiety too! I'd love to hear your feedback. Please contact me @audaciousfounder on TikTok or IG.

Click here to learn how.   So listen, I love being an entrepreneur. The adrenaline I get from a good brainstorm or business idea is unparalleled! Nevertheless, I won't deny that it created some pretty nasty habits in the ol' subconscious! I noticed the other day how I literally had PTSD from having to always be at the ready for a new problem. What I realized is that I had created this belief that to relax was to make myself vulnerable to negative unforeseen events that would put myself and my businesses at risk. What I didn't realize was that it was this belief that was actually creating the risk! In this episode: - The anxiety caused by having to "put out fires" all the time - Feeling out of control - Feeling contentment - Childhood depression - Taking medication - My first taste of extreme, genuine joy - The guilt of being a mom and an entrepreneur - Being able to notice the emotions and the triggers for them - Figuring out how to sustain or recreate certain emotions - The false beliefs we lead our lives by - The consequences of being at the mercy of your programmed thoughts - The moment just before reaction - Your subconscious is your protector   Want to become an Audacious Founder Business Coaching Client?

When is a baby a baby and other abortion-related questions. In this episode we talk about a lot of topics surrounding the reversal of Roe V Wade. We postulate the reasoning behind it, and we discuss Leslie's general thoughts on it before and after working as a pediatric nurse in the ICU. Leslie sees babies coming into the intensive care unit who have just been born and who some of which, might possibly have been better off not so...I know that is a hard statement to stomach, it's not easy for me to say or write either. When we think about abortion though, I think many people have a unidirectional view - that is, they consider only the irresponsible people who are playing recklessly with the lives of the unborn and assume that every baby brought into the world will be better for it. Many people, people who are making the decisions for the rest of us, don't seem to consider how children brought into a life of instability, hostility, and impairment, may in reality not be better for it. Additionally, how those surrounding them may not be better for it. These conversations, while uncomfortable at times, are things we need to be analyzing and sorting through so as to come to our own distinct and educated opinions surrounding matters that, in this case, are life and death. TRIGGER WARNING: If you've gone through abortions or lost children, this may be triggering or you. If you think it might be, then I advise you not to listen. If you'd like to reach out to me for any reason, I'd be happy to hear from you: [email protected] Topics include: - Abortion - The privilege of being able to give your child opportunity - Consequences of having a child in unfortunate or unideal circumstances - The idea that the upper class is trying to keep the middle class broke - When is a baby actually considered a baby as opposed to just tissue? - What is normal when it comes to tracking your cycle? - Feminism - Being able to tolerate opposing viewpoints Get in touch Leslie at @_lesliyeh Follow me @audaciousfounder Links mentioned in episode: - Adoption Network - Children's Home Society - ACLU Texas SUBSCRIBE!
