Ep 153 - Jess Glazer - Getting Our Ego Out Of The Way So We Can Soar

Are you interested in entrepreneurship?  Have you been worried about starting your own business or transitioning your business?  In this episode, we dive into how to leave your 9 to 5 and build your own business from your side hustles! You can build a business in small pockets of time during the day so you can finally quit the day job and work your dream job. In this episode, I talk with Jess Glaze, an online business coach, as well as a celebrity personal trainer about how she transitioned from her full-time job of being a teacher into a successful online business coach. Jess now helps other health professionals grow their businesses, as well as helping all women get comfortable setting outside their comfort zone. We discuss the journey of entrepreneurship, how to build a business from a side hustle and getting comfortable with public speaking. We also discuss the fitness industry and eating disorders, and how we can put our ego aside and get the help we need.  Questions I asked: What drew you to fitness competitions? How did you get through your eating disorder? What messaging do individuals receive that make us feel like we have to look a certain way? Does social media have an impact on young people? What gave you the courage to leave your job and do what you're doing now? What charity are you involved with? How do we get the ego out of the way? How do we let go of the ego-driven persona? Is your EmpowerU for fitness professionals? How did you get into Shape magazine? What got you into public speaking?  Topics Discussed: Eating disorders Personal development and growth mindset.
