If you are ready to discuss your business ideas then feel free to book in a call here: Book an Inspiration Call   In this episode of OT Yourself to Freedom, business mindset and lifestyle coach Beki Eakins dives into the topic of entrepreneurial guilt. Beki discusses how this guilt, the feeling that one should always be working, often affects entrepreneurs, especially those in the occupational therapy field. She explores the concept of the 'saboteur shadow' that keeps individuals tied to never-ending to-do lists and perfectionism. Beki shares tips on setting boundaries, embracing imperfection, and scheduling guilt-free rest. Drawing from both personal experiences and insights from authors like Denise Duffield Thomas and Brene Brown, Beki emphasizes the importance of rest in achieving business success. Listeners are encouraged to let go of the need for constant activity and perfection, and to focus on high-profit actions that truly matter. 00:00 Introduction to Beki Eakins and Her Mission 00:53 Understanding Entrepreneurial Guilt 02:24 The Importance of Rest and Letting Go 05:51 Exploring the Saboteur Shadow 07:53 Embracing the Inner Magician 12:44 Setting Boundaries and Embracing Imperfection 16:55 The Power of Rest and Reflection 19:45 Final Thoughts and Encouragement 21:27 How Beki Helps OTs Achieve Freedom   There is so much power in intention.
