Do you feel like you were born to stand out but fitting in feels safer? Have you ever made a decision based on what someone else wanted or expected from you, rather than making that decision based on what you wanted for yourself? As you grow your business, do you find yourself trying to mimic the look/feel/services of the experts you perceive as further along than you?
If any of the above resonates, know you aren’t alone; in fact there’s a biological reason that you feel drawn to the safety of others. In Episode 51 of The Lean Out Your Business podcast, Diann Wingert, a no-BS therapist turned business mindset coach, shares why we are biologically inclined to fit in and digs deeper into the limiting beliefs that keep us playing small. If you are ready to stop seeking permission from others to be who you already are, you won’t want to miss this interview.
Diann Wingert is an expert on the intersection of mental health and entrepreneurship and her jam is helping other women transform the beliefs and habits that hold them back from reaching their most important goals.
