🔥 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

Even experienced entrepreneurs face fear and self-doubt, especially during growth.
Having practical strategies helps break the spiral of overwhelm faster.
Opportunities often trigger retreat because expansion challenges your comfort zone.
Business challenges reflect deeper internal work on beliefs and identity.
Recognizing and physically interrupting the spiral is the first step to recovery.
Movement, EFT tapping, and journaling help release blocks and restore clarity.

✨ KEY TAKEAWAYS

You can’t shift what you don’t acknowledge.
3-Step Spiral Exit Strategy:

-Interrupt the Pattern – Breathe, move, or change the environment.
- Use EFT Tapping – Shift emotional state quickly.
- Journal It Out – Ask:

- “What am I really feeling?”

- “What do I actually want?”

- “What do I believe about this right now?”

Your state influences your results, don’t build from burnout.
Regularly use tapping, journaling, and movement to manage your mindset and emotions through challenges.
Spirals are part of the journey, what matters is how fast you bounce back.
Inner Work = Business Growth: Keep doing the work, especially when it’s hard.
