    Welcome back to another episode of Design Boss Dialogue where we dive deep into business and personal growth nuances. I'm your host Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui, and today, I'm thrilled to be joined by the insightful Nicola Cloherty a body-first and energy-led business coach for women in business with 20+ years of experience in business and marketing, 10 in entrepreneurship, and as a integrative Reiki practitioner, an energetics expert and guide. She works with high-performing, ambitious, driven women entrepreneurs, leaders, and business women. Today, Nicola and I are exploring a unique blend of topics that are often overlooked but crucial for women entrepreneurs.

    In this enlightening conversation, Nicola and I delve into the intersection of energetics, cycles, and emotions in the business world. We'll uncover how understanding your energetic blueprint can lead to more informed decision-making and heightened self-awareness, which in turn can significantly enhance your business performance.

    We also discuss the powerful impact of natural cycles—such as the menstrual and lunar cycles—on our productivity and creativity. By recognising and aligning with these rhythms, we can not only optimize our output but also find a more harmonious flow in our work and personal lives.

    Furthermore, we emphasise the importance of self-compassion and prioritization in a demanding world that often asks more from women in business. Our conversation aims to provide you with practical insights and strategies to navigate these challenges with grace and effectiveness.

    So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and join us as we embark on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

    This conversation isn't just about the interior design industry; it's about navigating the broader challenges that come with running a business and being a mother.

    We discuss how resilience is personal and varies depending on the situation, whether it’s tackling massive projects, dealing with sick children, or managing everyday setbacks like car troubles or health issues. Samantha emphasises that beyond those big moments when you're called to step up, there's a baseline level of resilience that every woman, especially mothers and business owners, needs to cultivate. This baseline resilience helps you keep going even when results aren't immediate or things get tough.

    Throughout this episode, we explore how maintaining momentum, building confidence, and finding ways to make progress in other areas can help you cope when life throws you a curveball. We share insights on how to pull through on those days when nothing goes as planned, and you feel like giving up. Samantha provides valuable advice on how to adapt, find that extra grit within yourself, and ensure that progress and success remain achievable, even in the face of adversity.
