The one question that has particularly annoyed me since leaving finance for entrepreneurship:

Oh man — I went through that entire portfolio of emotions. There is a lot of projection, but maybe it’s me projecting projection on myself. With time, I’ve been able to really focus on the process and the deep desire to “live my truth.” Not do things for external validation and truly create my own criteria for success, much of which currently revolves around spending quality (and mindful) time with my daughter.

Def here to be a sounding board — bc I felt it all. Once, someone questioned me, and my immediate reaction was to do 100 burpees… Just so I could tell myself that I was “tough” and “resilient.” But we all see the foolishness in that response. Now, I focus more on what fear is being triggered by that comment. Usually fear of running out of $ or failure.

Side note — I saw Yazan the other day and he sends his love to you and the family!
