Entrepreneurs face multiple inner battles. We can be so connected emotionally and physically to our work, that we push ourselves in directions that aren’t particularly healthy, and the repercussions can monstrous.
Welcome to The Psychology of Entrepreneurship, a candid and revealing series that follows Ronsley Vaz and his guests, as they strive to unravel the inner workings of the entrepreneurial mind, and explain why even the most successful among us experience Imposter Syndrome.
If you are someone who is holding back, feeling unworthy of your success or questioning your competency as a professional then this podcast is for you.
Dr Sherry Walling is a licensed clinical psychologist who understands the mental mechanisms of entrepreneurs. Her life’s work revolves around trying to guide people through the difficult emotional aspects of business on a psychological level.
Dr. Walling has walked the path, and is a successful entrepreneur herself, primarily noted as the founder of ZenFounder, LLC and co-host of the ZenFounder podcast. She is also a bestselling author, with her book “The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Keeping Your Sh*t Together,” as well as a yoga teacher and keynote speaker.
In this volume of Psychology of Entrepreneurship, Ronsley and Dr. Walling, delve into the all too familiar arenas of burnout, depression and personal conflict. They discuss why entrepreneurs love to hate authority, and explore the clinical side of ‘the imposter’ that lives inside us all.
