105. What It Really Means When Life & Business Feel Hard

About this episode

Jenna Rykiel discusses the misconceptions around the difficulties of running a business and offers a new perspective on embracing challenges in life and entrepreneurship.

One of the biggest lies moms tell themselves when they start a business is that it’s supposed to feel easy eventually. And when something feels hard for long enough, it’s natural to start questioning whether it’s meant for you. But what if feeling hard isn’t a sign that something has gone wrong, but actually worthwhile? In this episode, I talk about what it really means when life and business feel hard and share a completely different way to think about hard, one that can change how you approach business, motherhood, and life in general.
