EP 50 - Tackling Black & White Thinking: An Intuitive Founder's Guide

The Intuitive Founder’s Studio is now 1 year old!I am wrapping up the 1st season of this show and I will return in a few months, with season 2!Let’s end season 1 with a topic that can undermine many of the thought work tools we've explored throughout the year: black-and-white thinking.As intuitive founders, we can be prone to interpreting ourselves, our businesses, and other people through all-or-nothing categories. In this episode, I unpack why our brains naturally gravitate toward this pattern, how it contributes to habitual criticism, and how we can begin creating more space for flexibility, and more possibilities. I share a simple two-question practice to help you recognize and interrupt black-and-white thinking when it shows up.You'll hear:Why black-and-white thinking is a natural human brain response to uncertainty rather than a personal flaw.How reducing complex experiences to black-and-white verdicts can create unnecessary suffering.The connection between black-and-white thinking and habitual criticism.How black-and-white thinking can show up in your thought work practice and discourage your long-term growth.Two simple questions to help you interrupt black-and-white thinking and reconnect with the complexity of real life.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WWW.Roxanaakhbari.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to access my other free coaching resources or to book a free consultation call to explore how we can work together.If you find value in what you hear, the best way to support this podcast is to follow the show wherever you listen, leave a review, and share it with others.
