Tsh Oxenreider on traveling the world with her family, entrepreneurship, and the messy middle

I’m with my globe-trotting friend Tsh Oxenreider today talking about what it was like to take her young family on a trip around the world for a year, imposter syndrome, and stories of women who make the world go round.   In this episode we discuss: What it’s really like for a couple to take three kids around the world for a year. What do internet entrepreneurs really think about the question, “Do people still need to go to college?”   The importance of telling women’s stories while we are in the “messy middle” of going for their dreams. How new women entrepreneurs get caught up in comparison and the importance of seeing how other women really "do it all".   Listen now: Click here to listen in iTunes.

On my podcast, Women's Work, I hear from women who fear the Imposter Syndrome of " On no, everyone's going to find out I have no idea what I'm doing." Starting out as a woman entrepreneur, we relate to people who say, "I'm still not sure it's going to work." When I've interviewed women entrepreneurs they would say, "I started out not really knowing what I was doing, but I did it anyway and learned as I went." Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business. In this episode, I answer these questions- What is your parenting advice when it comes to disciplining your kids? (37:44)  Is God really listening when I talk to him? (40:52) I recently heard an entrepreneur say that to be successful the business always has to come first. And that I can’t really have a life or friends outside of it. Is that really what running your own businesses is like?
