Coping with COVID as a Small Business Owner

Today’s question is:

“Any tips on dealing with the emotional roller coaster that is 2020? I’m struggling and business feels heavy and some days just hard.”

Listen now:

There’s no question that these are very odd times and you are not alone if you’re feeling overwhelmed some days, laser-focused on others, and you don’t give a rip on the days in between. None of us has ever been through a year like 2020 so we’re here to offer some suggestions for coping with the overwhelm and with the emotional side of things.

And just a side note that they’re working for us, at least most of the time. We hope you get something out of this one.

“Amy and Kirsty are wonderful, wise and witty!

I already push myself hard enough so I'm not interested in working with coaches that are going to "crack the whip" and "kick my arse".

Kirsty and Amy both have a gently challenging coaching style. I always left sessions feeling validated, smart and capable but with a clear idea of how to make things even betterer.”

“Kirsty seems to have this ability to see things that aren't being said. And then she brings them to light in such a nurturing way.

Amy is direct AND caring all at the same time. It makes it easier for me to get to the point cause I know you'll get to the point when you ask about the things you need more info on.

Together — I love that neither of them hold back when their opinion/suggestion/perspective differs from the other's. It just makes it all so much more valuable.

Also, they’re both so genuine, warm, smart and hilarious. Those 'good' traits just compound when you put the two of them together, ya know?”

“All I'd ever heard about Amy was that she's a great coach. Welp, she's a great coach. Knows the right questions to ask to get through the bullshit and get to the root issue.

And my sweet, sweet Kirsty. Using all of her best therapy tricks to keep us moving forward. And making us feel loved :)

Together? Stop. So good. I have never felt so supported.

I think the value in coaching is having someone hold a bigger vision for you than you can see yourself. So having TWO of you hold that for me was extremely motivating.”
