The number of women who are questioning whether they are experiencing burnout, perimenopause, undiagnosed ADHD, or even early-onset Alzheimers is at an all-time high. A lot of us are struggling and don’t even know where to turn for answers because there is so much crossover between the symptoms of these conditions. Each of them affects our body, mind, and brain, so sorting things out is far from simple.One of the most challenging aspects is the skill gap that seems to exist. Gynecologists don’t have enough training in perimenopause, business coaches don’t understand mental health and psychotherapists aren’t trained in business. What are mid-life female solopreneurs supposed to do? I invited my friend, midlife hormone specialist, Stephanie Shaw, host of the Hello Hot Flash Podcast to help us unpack the confusion, normalize the struggle, and create some genuine clarity about how to create better boundaries (the ultimate in self-care), advocate with our health care providers and set priorities that really move the needle for women in their 40s and 50s, especially those of us who are self-employed. 👉 Here are 3 key takeaways for every female entrepreneur: over 40Emotional Regulation: The transformative power of journaling to understand emotional patterns and taking proactive steps to process negative emotionsSelf Advocacy with Healthcare Professionals: How to differentiate burnout from perimenopause symptoms, the importance of asserting for appropriate medical tests, and the art of being strategic during healthcare conversations.Redefining Self-Care: Stephanie and I unpack the societal pressures women face and how embracing a comprehensive self-care approach—including establishing boundaries and renegotiating relationships—is vital not just for personal well-being but for sustainable success. Mic Drop Moment: "Part of the work that I do is teaching women to advocate for themselves because if your gynecologist will not provide you with information on how to handle your medical condition, then you need to find another gynecologist."— Stephanie Shaw Want to connect with Stephanie and find out more?Listen to her Hello Hot Flash Podcast: https://bit.ly/43xI1X1Take her course: https://bit.ly/3Tl2Hgk Book a call: https://bit.ly/3TLnOtv Are you looking for Holistic Business Coaching that helps you balance self-care with passion, purpose, and profit?You don’t have to be perimenopausal or burning out to know you are working too hard and too much for the money you are making.
