The End in Mind: Personal Development For Entrepreneurs Caitlin Durning: Personal Development Coach

Are you living an intentional life? This week we are chatting with the lovely @ashleystrongsmith_ on ‘The End in Mind.’ We run through her life story, why she does what she does, and how she went from running a very successful photography business to coaching people to live an intentional lifestyle. 

When you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, unsure of your next step - what do you do? Do you settle into the understanding that not all of the answers may be visible at this time? Are you ready to receive the guidance you need? 

How about when it comes to your business - what keeps you from following an intentional lifestyle? Maybe intention is the first step towards lighting up your path, then the tangible steps will become more clear?

Do you have health struggles? There was a time in my life that I was scared to go to my doctor to hear that I needed medication daily to help. I wanted to be an advocate for myself to find the root cause and not just accept taking medication for the rest of my life. After talking with Dr. Julie, I am so inspired that she has come out on the other side of her health struggles and is now helping women get to the root cause of their health issues and allow healing and prevention. Having her on your side, to provide guidance and support is invaluable.

I have been so inspired by @dr.julielynn’s story which she’ll be sharing this week during the latest episode of ‘The End in Mind.’ She became her biggest health advocate and is now living chronic pain-free. And the best part? She now provides an incredible service that creates a safe space for women who are looking to get back in touch with their bodies and prevent chronic pain and issues.

When building your business online, have you thought about or been open to working with others overseas? 

A few years back, I was direct messaging with one of my dear friends now, @kristinartodorova. She and I were talking about ways to work together as well as ways to expand and promote one another. And I left the call feeling so excited! I felt like I had broken into a new market in England and this would be the start of a relationship that would continue to expand into the future. 

Little did I know, fast forward a few months, Kristina would be founding the @wearecocreated Hub. We would be connecting many other business owners from around the world, and I would have the pleasure of co-founding this community with her. 

When some people get into business they think they will make money fast, have quick wins, and they’re ready to walk away when a few relationships don't end up working out how they had hoped. I have learned many things from my friendship with Kristina, and one of them was to allow space and time for ideas to flow, and growth will come naturally; collaboration will flow smoothly when the time is right.

A few weeks ago, I met this amazing woman, @claire.uncapher, and she and I hit it off pretty quickly. What I loved about her approach to what she does is she’s all about the root cause, which I really resonate with. 

For most people that know me personally, you all know I am an open book. I believe vulnerability can lead us to discovering root causes, which is why it is such a big part of what I do when it comes to my own marketing. 

Claire offered to share more about her Body Speak Process, and I was immediately intrigued. When we are able to connect with where emotions may be tense in our bodies, I have found that this is an easier way to move through those emotions with minimal suffering. 

And on this week’s End in Mind episode, you will get to hear what I was able to uncover and work through with Claire live time. Have you ever experienced connecting with your body to move through different emotions?

What would it feel like to stop questioning your business? To just take a step back and accept, “this is what I am at right now. This is okay, this is good in fact.” When I have a moment of lull I am able to…. Spend more time working on myself, think about new offers, connect and reconnect with people I love and that support me. 

This level of trust in your business may be what is necessary to actually close the deals of your dreams. Maybe this lull is happening because you need to have more space so showing up for yourself  and your next client feels spacious, and they want to hire you for 10K a month, taking up most of your time anyhow? What if this change and shift in energy could change everything for us?

This week, we are chatting with one of my favorite online business friends, @haillenorrisdesignco. Haille helps her clients connect with their intuition in order to build a brand from this intuitive space. Haille is also a member of the @wearecocreated with me and is a founding partner as well! We host monthly meetings within the Hub, and tomorrow we will be hosting Vulnerable Networking, Capacity Conversations at 1 PM EST. Message me for the link if you’re interested! 

Haille and I discuss on this week’s podcast what it is like to be a mom with twins, starting her company in a pandemic and fully going all in on her true calling: brand design. As most of us can relate, as intuitives working in the corporate world can make us feel undervalued. Have you felt similarly? What are your experiences as a creative working for others?
