#172 - What Might Be Possible If We Set Aside Our Ego?

So many brilliant, soul-led women hold themselves back in business, not because they lack the skills or ideas, but because of one sneaky culprit: ego.

In this episode, I explore how our need to appear more established than we are can keep us from forging the deep connections that actually grow our businesses.

Why the image of being “further ahead” can keep you stuck.

How ego-driven perfectionism slows (or stops) you from launching offers, sharing ideas, or trying new things.

The liberating shift from performing success to letting people witness your growth.

Why relatability often matters more than polish, and how that can be your superpower in 2025.

You’ll also get three powerful journaling prompts to help you notice where ego might be holding you back, what it’s really trying to protect you from, and what you’d create if you didn’t need to look ready, only real.

Don’t let your ego build a business your soul doesn’t recognise.

If you’re tired of over-editing yourself, waiting until everything’s perfect, or hiding the messy middle, this episode is your invitation to stop performing and start connecting.
