Have you ever felt the constrictive grip of high control environments on your personal freedom and questioned where real safety is found? Gentle Business Coach Ashley Beaudin unravels her own journey through the rigid structures of a Pentecostal church and into the tumultuous world of online entrepreneurship. Together, we traverse a landscape peppered with challenges including external authority, the relentless pursuit of hustle over rest, and the complex interplay between emotional health and business success.
Navigating the treacherous waters of personal agency can be daunting, especially when external voices attempt to steer the ship. In our rich conversation, we dissect the impact of 'good girl' programming, probe the importance of listening to our body's wisdom, and embrace the art of finding balance amidst the intense pressures to overcommit. Ashley's raw narrative on the quest for self-sufficiency serves as a beacon for anyone looking to reclaim their autonomy from the clutches of external validation.
We explore the dance between power dynamics, ethical marketing, and authentic human connection. Our discussion peels back the layers of manipulative power dynamics in both religious and entrepreneurial spaces, examining how these forces can both empower and ensnare. Ashley, the Gentle Business Coach, leaves us with a refreshing perspective on forging genuine relationships in business, steering clear of manipulation, and nurturing an environment of safety and consent.
