Running a business will test your emotions more than almost anything else. The truth is that even the most successful entrepreneurs experience slow seasons, self-doubt, and moments where everything feels personal.

In this episode Nadine sits down with marketing and business strategist Lauren Najar to chat about what actually happens when emotions start running your business.

They look at the difference between reacting emotionally vs responding strategically when things slow down.

Throughout the conversation they break down practical ways to stay grounded when things feel uncertain: understanding your business numbers, identifying upper limits and learning how to separate your self-worth from sales results.

The shop still needs to open every day. And when you learn how to balance emotional awareness with practical action, that is where long term momentum begins.
