Managing Stress as a Business Owner with Trudy Stone
As a solopreneur, you learn pretty quickly that it’s your job to wear all the hats in business. There’s client work, marketing, implementation, but social media? Who has time to consistently commit to that when you’re doing all the other things?
In this episode, learn about how stress affects our bodies and minds with nutritionist and wellness expert, Trudy Stone. There is a direct link between stress and your well-being. One powerful mindset shift Trudy shares is: “start to view stress as an invitation to examine all areas of your life”. Do you view stress as an invitation?
Trudy talks about her fear of taking a break from her business as she was approaching burnout, which as you can imagine was hard to admit as a wellness professional herself. You will also hear tips on nutrition, creating new habits, and handling negative thoughts.

Making Decisions in Business With Numerology (Feat. Ann Perry)
How can we use numbers to find ease and flow, rather than working against the universe?
In episode 29 of #BeFlawsome: The Good Enough Podcast, find out what numerology is and how we can use it to learn about ourselves and the best time to make decisions personally and professionally. Use numbers to guide you when planning anything from your wedding day to your launch day.
We also talk about lessons learned during a launch, and finding your own way to launch (that may be different from what the gurus are telling you to do). Is it worth dedicating your time and effort to Facebook ads and engagement during a launch? Find out in this episode.
So, are you a skeptic like I was at first? Or will you be using numerology to plan your next launch? Let me know your thoughts!

Season 2 promises to be fully #flawsome, not only because of the guests but in the solo episodes as well. I know I won’t be playing small anymore!
