094: How to Create an Aligned & Authentic Business with Darrah Brustein

Have you ever wondered how your childhood experiences mirror your adult life and influence the decisions you make?In a world where we often find ourselves chasing achievements and external validation, mystical thinking prompts us to explore deeper connections with our human experience. Our recent episode of "Mystical Sisterhood" featuring Darrah Brustein delves into these profound questions, exploring the intersection of entrepreneurship, spirituality, and personal growth.Every experience in our lives leads us to the ‘now’ moment. Special guest Darrah, a five-time business founder, author, and coach, joins me on the podcast to share her journey of starting multiple businesses and the life lessons learned along the way. Darrah beautifully bridges her human experiences with a spiritual lens, offering insights into thinking about how our childhood shapes our adult lives and how we balance work with personal fulfillment.We discuss the pervasive struggles with self-worth and confidence, particularly when raised in achievement-focused cultures. For Darrah, overcoming self-doubt required confronting feelings of inadequacy and recognizing non-traditional skills like connecting people and curating experiences.Discernment and intuition play critical roles in entrepreneurship. Darrah shares her belief in focusing on initiatives that address problems she feels equipped to tackle, ensuring sustained attention and redirection of energies only once systems and processes are well-established.As we round out the conversation, we highlight the dangers of comparison and encourage listeners to embrace their own unique journeys. Life’s spiritual nature is ever-present, regardless of how connected or disconnected we may feel at different times.We talk about:00:00 Intro02:14 The Power of Connections and Early Influences04:03 Childhood Clues and Entrepreneurial Spirit07:41 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Building Confidence09:49 Spiritual Journeys and Life Lessons16:01 Business Ventures and Life Lessons24:25 Navigating Entrepreneurship with Intuition30:21 Balancing Life and Business37:04 Motherhood and Spiritual Growth44:57 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsResources mentioned in this episode:The Mystical Sisterhood Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysticalsisterhoodCreator Connections: https://www.maureenspielman.com/events About the Host: Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion to the world.
