Let's Put Our Best Selves Out There with Natacha Pennycooke

June 11, 2024 • Amanda Casinha-Ginther / Natacha Pennycooke • Episode 21

Being a female biz owner is like playing the entrepreneurship game on hard mode. Not only are we expected to juggle work and home in ways that men aren’t, we tend to put more pressure on ourselves in both arenas. And when we’re not our best selves, it can be REALLY freaking hard to Do It All™.

In this episode of Marketing Sucks, I sit down with the amazing therapist and mindset shift coach Natacha Pennycooke to talk about entrepreneurship, boundaries, wellness, and whether “finding balance” is a real thing. This super-juicy conversation explores how to identify what you truly need to have the life you want, how to give yourself permission to prioritize yourself - and how to actually make it happen!
