Breaking the Perfectionist Trap: Why Putting Yourself Last Is Hurting Your Business with Andrea Mason

from Awakened Entrepreneur (R)Evolution · host Jana Niksa - The Authentic Sales Coach

Episode Description: In this episode of Awakened Entrepreneur (R)Evolution, Jana sits down with Andrea Mason, founder of Press PLAY Plan Life According to You LLC and global motivational speaker. Andrea shares her journey from corporate burnout and health crisis to becoming a voice for global change and authentic living. Key Takeaways: The Mirror Work Revolution: Andrea reveals her simple but profound exercise of looking in a full-length mirror and asking yourself "How are you doing today?" - not the surface-level response we give others, but a real check-in with yourself. The Suppression Trap: Learn why suppressing emotions while "pushing through" creates autoimmune conditions and how stress becomes the silent killer when we put ourselves last. Breaking the Martyr Complex: Both Jana and Andrea challenge the dangerous narrative that being exhausted and putting yourself last makes you a better parent or partner. From Surviving to Thriving: Andrea's journey from stage five myasthenia gravis in the ICU to global speaker shows how our lowest points can become our greatest awakening. The Frequency Shift: Discover how dis-ease (not being at ease) cannot withstand a healthy emotional mindset, and why your inner work directly impacts your outer results. Celebrating Small Wins: Why discounting victories ("that client was someone I knew") keeps you stuck and how every success builds momentum for bigger breakthroughs. Practical Implementation Tips: 🦋 The Daily Mirror Check: Start each day by looking in a mirror and genuinely asking "How are you doing today?" Allow whatever comes up to be felt and acknowledged. 💕 The Self-Hug Technique: Place one hand on the back of your neck and one on your lower back - this mimics the supportive touch we received as children and can be incredibly healing. 🎯 Boundary Setting Practice: Before saying yes to others, pause and ask "Am I saying no to myself?" This simple question can transform your relationship with people-pleasing. 🙌🏻 Celebration Fridays: Implement Andrea's "Fantastic Friday" practice of celebrating wins, no matter how small they seem.
