Coaching Catch Up - Work and Worthiness, Burnout and Releasing Control with Kara Leigh Ford
Episode description
Hello and welcome to episode 109 of Grow with Soul. Today I am catching up with Kara Leigh Ford, who was the very first coaching episode on the podcast way back in July 2018. The last three years have seen Kara grow and develop her business model to include not just making her pottery, but also teaching her courses, hosting a membership and writing a book. It's also seen her come up against challenges in the emotional experience of running a business too. Today we talk about how and why the changes came about and what's been so positive about them, as well as Kara's experience of detaching her worth from her work, recovering from burnout, and creating healthier work habits. So, let's dig in.
What we talk about:
- Feeling warmth towards our past selves
- A recap on Kara's story, and how she's diversified her income since we last spoke
- How the organic sharing of knowledge led to the creation of a course and a community
- Leaning into the enjoyment of writing despite initial reservations
- Tackling burnout by separating your self worth from your work
- Prioritising rest
- Trusting what you've built
