The Try And Stop Her Podcast - With Em Gee

Ep.18 - Confessions of a Business Coach - Donna Hann

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Donna Hann - certified high-performance coach, regional business advocate, and woman who literally moved across the country while writing her chapter for this book. Wild.

We talk about what it’s really like to grow a business and a life at the same time — the mess, the mindset, and the moments that make you question everything. Donna doesn’t hold back on her experience juggling motherhood, marriage, a booming dance studio, and a complete identity shift. Oh - and she drops one of the best analogies you’ll hear all week: glass balls vs rubber balls. You’ll never look at your to-do list the same way again.

  • What made Donna say “yes” to writing a book mid-business chaos

  • Navigating burnout, big life moves, and the pressure to show up on socials

  • The dance studio days that led to her becoming a coach

  • How to know when to drop the ball (and which ones will bounce)

  • Why she’s doubling down on supporting regional women in business

“Some balls are glass. Some are rubber. You have to know which ones you can afford to drop.”
