episode 2: how entrepreneurship prepared me for parenthood

there is an astoundingly negative narrative surrounding the realities of parenthood circulating social media these days. and don’t get me wrong, it is challenging - but many of the fearful seeds that others planted in my subconscious through their stories have, to my constant surprise, not grown into my reality. the internalization of those secondhand experiences caused me to question my ability to withstand the unknown and now that i have gotten a taste of it, i have been reminded of how much more capable i am than i give myself credit for.upon reflection, i’ve realized that there are so many parallels between the lessons that you learn as an entrepreneur and those that you learn as a parent. in many ways, what i am challenged by now isn’t completely unfamiliar to me - it’s simply the next level of it (which, isn’t to imply that there’s anything simple about it). this is a solo episode during which I discuss:• the relationship between entrepreneurship and personal development• how creation is inherent to entrepreneurship and parenthood• five internal lessons that arise in both entrepreneurship and parenthood• give external lessons that arise in both entrepreneurship and parenthoodi close the episode by reflecting on the ultimate lesson that both entrepreneurship and parenthood have taught me - the one i return to again and again to regain perspective when i get bogged down by the day-to-day challenges of running a business and raising a human.
