Looks Like Work

Today I'm chatting with Julia Starr, Founder / Coach at Julia Starr Coaching. Julia and I initially connected through Dreamers // Doers, and it was interesting how much synchronicity we and our approaches have, given how different our professional backgrounds (and our clients'!) are.
 
We chat about:
 
The founder's Shiny Object Syndrome
Should our businesses reflect us or the market's needs?
The relationship between how identity-driven our businesses are, and burnout risk
You are worthy of getting your needs met - and asking the questions
Becoming your own good boss
