What if the problem isn't your mindset, your motivation, your discipline, or whether you "want it badly enough"?
In this episode, I sit down with feminist business coach and author Becky Mollenkamp to discuss her book, Liberate Your Business, and challenge many of the assumptions entrepreneurs have been taught about success, productivity, and growth.
We explore how systems like capitalism, patriarchy, and hustle culture influence the way we run our businesses, often leading us to believe that exhaustion, overwork, and constant striving are simply part of the entrepreneurial journey.
Becky challenges that assumption with her vision of a liberated business: one that aligns with your values, supports the life you want to live and doesn't require burnout as the cost of success.
We also unpack:
- The limitations of mindset-focused business advice
- How perfectionism and binary thinking keep entrepreneurs stuck
- Using the concept of "enough" to guide business decisions
- Making values-based choices without demanding perfection from yourself
- Creating sustainable boundaries around work, rest, and growth
- Why relationship-based networking is more effective than transactional selling
From pricing and boundaries to networking and marketing, Becky offers practical ways to make decisions that honor both your goals and your humanity.
