EP79: Exhausted but Ambitious: Balancing Success & Well-Being with Dr. Monique Flemings
Description
Are you tired? Constantly feeling like you have to choose between personal fulfillment and professional success?
This week I sit down with the remarkable Dr. Monique Flemings, a trailblazer in entrepreneurship, healthcare, and ministry. Together, we dive deep into the real struggles women entrepreneurs face today—from societal pressures to the silent frustration that comes with trying to meet impossible standards. We dissect the performative nature of vulnerability, the necessity of self-awareness, and the crucial role that supportive circles play in identifying blind spots and encouraging growth.
Dr. Flemings also shares practical strategies to help you maintain your mental and physical health, such as daily digital detoxes, mindfulness practices, and the creation of an "unapologetic brag bag" to boost self-worth. We scrutinize societal norms that fuel the confidence gap, especially among women, and discuss how not to settle into complacency but instead push yourself to evolve continuously.
If you're looking for actionable insights to help you lead authentically, avoid burnout, and build a lasting legacy, this episode is a must-listen. Subscribe, rate, and share the podcast to join us on this empowering journey.
