The world of entrepreneurship is dominated by masculine energy. For female entrepreneurs, learning about business from the perspective of masculine energy can cause burnout, self-sabotage, and not running our businesses on our own terms.
Masculine and feminine energy clash because they are distinctly different. Facing this clash internally often leads to us feeling disconnected and misaligned with our own businesses. It can also make us struggle to find a pricing model that is true to what we care about.
How can we run better businesses and lead happier teams by leading with feminine energy? What are some of the key parts of feminine energy we can bring into our businesses? How can we set boundaries from a feminine energy perspective?
In this episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur, DEI educator, and CEO of The Digital Market.co, Jocelyn J. Kopac. She shares how to improve our businesses by changing the energy we lead them with, and how that helps us create a more aligned financial model.

In over ⅔ of US families, women manage the household budget. While we’re good at the budgeting aspect and making sure everything is good month-to-month, we struggle with long-term planning, thriving, and creating financial freedom.
Money is tied into absolutely everything we do, and when we have kids, this is amplified. We have to provide for them, but we also have to teach them to nurture a healthy view of money. This starts with us and what we believe and put into action financially.
It’s impossible to teach a healthy financial mindset and be effective at our financial planning if we have underlying limiting beliefs and a scarcity mentality around money.
If we can get control of our money mindset and align our money with our values, we’ll be able to afford the things we want in our lives and plan for the future.
How do we overcome the financial hang-ups, fears, and mindsets that hold us back? What are the things moms need to know about money and how we talk about it with our children?
In this episode, I’m joined by the founder of Smart Money Mamas and the online summit, Mamas Talk Money, Chelsea Brennan. We discuss the upcoming 2020 summit, and how we can cultivate a thriving money mindset.
When our kids grow up hearing “we can’t afford that”, it creates a scarcity mindset. -Chelsea Brennan

How to create an empowering, thriving money mindset:
Many of us feel a sense of helplessness around money, and that we aren’t in control of it. Even if we aren’t financially stable yet, it’s important to remember that we have autonomy in our choices with money. If we feel like our financial circumstances just happen to us, we’ll never be able to empower ourselves or our children.
Why money is a form of self-care:
On a societal level, women have been conditioned to not value things that benefit us because we’re often so focused on taking care of everyone else. The side effect of this is a deeply ingrained scarcity mindset around money. By overcoming it, we can get rid of our mental and emotional blocks around money and allow it to be a positive in our life, not a negative.
The impact of a negative money mindset:
Our budgets won’t work if we’re still viewing and relating to money through the lens of scarcity and struggle. No money strategy can overpower an underlying limiting belief. If we want to improve our money situations and teach our children the right lessons about it, all our strategies have to start with how we think and feel about money.

Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:
When you give people permission to be who they are and create a feeling of belonging for them, you build trust.
The only difference between you and the people who seem to have it figured out is that they keep going and never give up, even when things don’t go according to plan.
You have what it takes to create a business that you care about, a well- run space where you can nurture people and create a community and sense of belonging.
When we create a system and everyone who comes into our world takes the same journey, that creates consistency. Once we have consistency, we can scale, track results, and see what’s working.
