In this quick tip episode, Fiona reflects on becoming the parent of a teenager and the surprising parallels between adolescence and building a business.
Teenage years are often framed as difficult or disruptive, but they’re also a time of growth, identity formation, and learning to trust yourself. And as it turns out, that’s exactly what many business owners are navigating too.
This episode explores how the lessons we try to pass on to teenagers, about intuition, values, and discernment, are just as relevant when you’re running a business in a noisy, opinion-filled world.
You’ll learn:
- Why business can feel a lot like adolescence at times
- How to balance intuition with data when making decisions
- Why tuning into your own values matters more than outside noise
- How to navigate growth and change without losing who you are
- A simple mindset shift to help you make clearer, more confident choices
This episode is perfect for small business owners, creatives, and anyone feeling pulled in multiple directions and wondering how to stay grounded while evolving.
