Episode 1: Showing Up While Hiding

Episode 1: Showing Up While HidingI've been planning this podcast for years and not a single word of it had ever been said out loud. Until now.This is episode one of The Business Underneath with Steph Nemchik, and it's me doing the thing I've quit on more times than I can count. My voice is shaking. My palms are sweating. I feel like I'm going to be sick.  But I'm showing up and doing it anyway.WHAT WE GET INTOWhy the planning was never procrastination, it was controlWhat hiding looks like when it looks exactly like hard workThe closet full of journals I've been filling since I was elevenThe Minnesota Christmas that changed the direction of my lifeWhy knowing the right thing has almost nothing to do with doing itBuilding a business that only works when you're not seen in itThe Surprise Yourself Challenge that got this episode recordedCOME FIND MEInstagram: @stephnemchikWebsite: www.stephnemchik.comDISCLAIMER: A NOTE ON THE HEAVIER STUFFWe talk about mental health, grief, addiction, SA, and suicide here, and I share tools and resources that have helped me over the years.
