Have you ever wondered how your childhood experiences mirror your adult life and influence the decisions you make?
In a world where we often find ourselves chasing achievements and external validation, mystical thinking prompts us to explore deeper connections with our human experience. Our recent episode of "Mystical Sisterhood" featuring Darrah Brustein delves into these profound questions, exploring the intersection of entrepreneurship, spirituality, and personal growth.
Every experience in our lives leads us to the ‘now’ moment. Special guest Darrah, a five-time business founder, author, and coach, joins me on the podcast to share her journey of starting multiple businesses and the life lessons learned along the way. Darrah beautifully bridges her human experiences with a spiritual lens, offering insights into thinking about how our childhood shapes our adult lives and how we balance work with personal fulfillment.
We discuss the pervasive struggles with self-worth and confidence, particularly when raised in achievement-focused cultures. For Darrah, overcoming self-doubt required confronting feelings of inadequacy and recognizing non-traditional skills like connecting people and curating experiences.
Discernment and intuition play critical roles in entrepreneurship. Darrah shares her belief in focusing on initiatives that address problems she feels equipped to tackle, ensuring sustained attention and redirection of energies only once systems and processes are well-established.
As we round out the conversation, we highlight the dangers of comparison and encourage listeners to embrace their own unique journeys. Life’s spiritual nature is ever-present, regardless of how connected or disconnected we may feel at different times.
