Welcome to the She Has The Audacity podcast. I am your host, Chana Ross and on this week's episode, we are talking about the idea of having it all. What is having it all? Is the concept of having it all even attainable? As women, it's easy for us to compare our lives to that of other women. Those who often seem to have a perfect life, business, job, husband, etc. However, what we fail to realize is that most people are only really showing the highlights of their lives. So if we continue to compare ourselves to this false perception of perfection, it's only going to lead us down the road of unhappiness. As a recovering perfectionist, I really had to rewire my brain and understand that "done is better than perfect". This one was really hard for me, but I quickly recognized that I was using the need to be perfect as a stalling technique to hide from the world. In this episode, I offer you tools to redefine what having it all means so that you can make it work for you. Let's be real, the idea of perfection is only setting you up for failure. So let's dive into this week's episode so you can truly have it all in life, on your own terms!

Welcome to the She Has The Audacity podcast. I am your host, Chana Ross. This is my first episode of this podcast where I explain why I chose a life of audacity. My journey began with my own journey of having problems with my own pelvic floor. The experience provided me with an "a-ha" moment to help other women with their pelvic floor issues in various stages of their life. My business grew through word of mouth quickly as people would share their successful results with their friends and family. The growth showed me that this service for my business could be successful. It wasn't an easy growth. I had problems trying to accommodate all of my clients as my business grew. There was a waitlist to see me so I hired someone. My client list grew again, so I launched my clinic. It has been a great journey, but I felt as though I didn't take a straight path to entrepreneurship. I wanted to surround myself with other entrepreneurs to share in our successes and our challenges. I started to build my community of women entrepreneurs that helped me realize there is no straight path to business. Now I am helping you build your community of women entrepreneurs so that you could hear their journeys in building their business.
