How to Stop Fear and Doubt From Plaguing You and Your Business

Hey everyone, it's Jen and I'm thrilled to have you tuning in today. In this episode, I want to dive deep into a topic that's been on my mind a lot lately: fear and doubt. I've noticed how these emotions often hold us back, especially as ADHD women entrepreneurs navigating the world of business and personal growth. We're constantly stepping out of our comfort zones, facing new challenges, and pushing the boundaries of what we thought possible. But alongside our ambition comes a chorus of internal doubts and fears, whispering, "You can't do it," or "Who do you think you are?" I want to explore where these feelings come from, how they manifest in our lives, and most importantly, how we can work with them rather than against them. 
 
Growing up with ADHD, many of us internalized negative messages and faced criticism that shaped our self-perception. It's no wonder that fear and doubt often accompany us on our entrepreneurial journeys. But I believe that acknowledging these feelings is the first step toward growth. In this episode, I'll share strategies for sitting with our fears, understanding their underlying messages, and finding ways to move forward despite them. It's about embracing the discomfort, rewriting our inner narratives, and reclaiming our power as resilient, capable individuals. So if you're ready to confront your fears head-on and step boldly into your potential, join me on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Together, let's transform fear into fuel and doubt into determination.If you’re not already, be sure to follow and share!AND, Follow me on social media!Instagram: @i_am_jen_barnesTikTok: @i_am_jen_barnes

From Poop to Perimenopause: A Holistic Approach for Feeling Amazing With ADHD with Charis Sederberg

Today, we chat with Charis Sederberg to uncover the profound interplay between our gut and brain—the captivating realm known as the gut-brain axis. Think of it as a bustling highway where information flows bidirectionally, shaping our digestion and mental well-being. Beyond the microbiome, this connection involves a dynamic interplay influencing our entire system.
Consider this: neurotransmitters crucial for brain communication, like serotonin, originate in the gut. Dysfunction here, such as dysbiosis, can trigger mental and emotional disturbances. Research reveals that alterations in gut flora affect brain function, impacting mood, cognition, and behavior. This understanding reshapes our approach to mental health care, urging holistic strategies that prioritize nurturing gut health. From dietary shifts to lifestyle adjustments, each step toward a healthier gut potentially enhances our mental well-being. Join us as we unravel the complexities of this symbiotic relationship and explore how nurturing our gut health can transform our overall wellness.
 
A special thank you to Charis Sederberg for sharing her holistic approachto feeling amazing with ADHD. To learn more about Charis and find out how you can work with her check out her website at https://primetonourish.com/.

Tired of Playing Small in your business and in life? Do this

Welcome to the Self-Loved Woman Podcast, where we're breaking through the barriers that hold us back in both life and business. I'm your host, Jen Barnes, and today's episode is diving into a topic crucial for ADHD women striving for success but finding themselves stuck. We'll uncover the patterns that keep us playing small and struggling to invest in our businesses and ourselves.
For years, I've seen a common thread among women—especially those with ADHD—struggling to prioritize themselves. This isn't just a matter of lacking knowledge or tools; it's about the internal barriers that prevent us from implementing what we know. We've grown up under criticism and pressure, conditioned to prioritize peacekeeping over pursuing our true potential.
Throughout this episode, we'll explore the layers of people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and the profound impact of not trusting ourselves. We'll uncover the fears that hold us back and the internal dialogue that perpetuates this cycle. It's not just about understanding these patterns; it's about navigating them, challenging their validity, and stepping into our power. Join me in unpacking these layers and breaking free from the limitations that hinder our growth.

Stop Killing Your Content and Actually Reach Your Audience

Jen Barnes here, bringing you another episode of the Self Loved Woman Podcast. Today's focus isn't just about ADHD; it's diving into the entrepreneurial aspects of being an ADHD woman entrepreneur. We often struggle with creating content, wondering what to share, and how to generate quality ideas.
Before diving into the main point, let's talk about what top-notch content requires. For me, it's all about curiosity, observing my audience, understanding their challenges, and offering solutions based on my experiences. It's about self-awareness and creativity—yes, even if you don't consider yourself an artist, creativity is integral to what we do.
However, sometimes our creativity gets stifled, and there's a big culprit behind that—stress. Not just occasional stress, but chronic stress, especially in the entrepreneurial hustle. Stress triggers our fight-or-flight response, hindering our ability to be in the social engagement state where creativity thrives.
Let's dive into the episode to learn a little more.
