In this podcast, Annie Wright, a Licensed Psychotherapist specializing in relational trauma, discusses the impact of unresolved childhood trauma on ambitious women entrepreneurs. She explores how trauma can manifest in maladaptive beliefs and behaviors that hinder personal and professional growth, and emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues through therapy to build a strong foundation for success. Annie also shares insights on navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, such as perpetual incompetence and fear, and provides valuable resources to help individuals recover from trauma and improve their mental health. Throughout the podcast, Annie stresses the significance of evaluating whether one's business is serving their life or if they are sacrificing their well-being for their business, and reminds listeners that leaving or closing down a business can also be a success.
Key Takeaways:
- Evaluating if your business is serving your life or if you're sacrificing your life for your business
- Avoiding recreating your trauma history within your business
- Understanding how unresolved childhood trauma can manifest in businesses built by ambitious women
