Ep 84 Why Self-Care + Support Systems Are Needed in Life and in Business with Punam Saxena | WHYA PS 6

Hello...thanks for listening!

Join my Love Letters (Newsletter) ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠! (Where I send words of encouragement, tips, deals and freebies to you before anyone else!) My 'Work How You Are' (WHYA) Podcast Series has finally arrived, and this is the sixth and final interview! Woohoo!!!

Starting the year off right and what better than with 'self-care and support systems in life and in business'! ~~~~~~~~~~~ My Podcast Series/Audio Summit will be talking about 'Working How YOU Are'.

I got this idea because a lot of jargon in the online biz world is "this worked for me so it will work for YOU" when we're all individuals and a lot of us are multi-passionates and we don't want to effing "niche down". Lol! 

I felt like "why do these programs seem to work for everyone else but not me?" "Am I broken?" And "what's wrong with me?"

We're not broken y'all...the 'process' is!

Because we're all individuals and what works best for one of us doesn't mean that it will work best for all of us. Can I get an Amen? ....for example, I am an introvert, and a highly sensitive person and an empath, a Manifesting-Generator in Human Design and most recently, that I have an ADHD brain (!) One speaker will talk about 'Shiny Object' and why it's not a "bad" thing, One speaker will talk about working with ADHD, And another on working as an Introvert in an Extroverted world, and many more! ~~~~~~~~~~~ I met Punam at the She Podcasts Live event a couple of years back.

I remember her vividly because her 'speaking session' was so engaging, and it kept my attention the whole time!

From her talking about her family at the beginning to her bingo cards where it gave audience members a chance to answer questions to the way that she spoke with excitement and empathy during her session -- it was one of the best sessions that I've attended at the event not to mention ever. :)

And coming from someone that has ADHD, anything that keeps my attention is always a major feat! ;-)

After Punam's session I stuck around to talk to her and to let her know how much I enjoyed her session and we've been 'biz buddies' ever since!

I hope to have Punam on again to talk more about her 'fighting' for her students as far as education is concerned with a 'no child left behind' type of philosophy, her doctorate degree, as well as growing up in rural Georgia and being the only Indians in the area. "Wow, right?!"

I hope you enjoy this episode!
