Untangling Our Worth From Our Work with Emily McDonald and Ankita Terrell | Episode 47

I’m excited to chat with Emily McDonald & Ankita Terrell, business coaches and co-founders of My Founder Circle. They are fast-moving, embrace failure, and are actively encouraging women founders to untangle the unhelpful stories we tell ourselves so that we can get out of our own way and make the impact we’re born to make.

In this episode, we chat through:

• Playing to each other’s strengths and big ideas
• Starting their business as a community and pivoting based on feedback from real people
• Following their energy and interests
• Pursuing private clients outside their co-founded business
• Coming back from burnout through coaching
• Untangling the relationship between happiness and making money while learning that profit and purpose can exist
• Finding and defining their worth beyond their work
• Prioritizing open and honest communication
• Leading by example by letting go of perfectionism in place of boundaries
• Not being afraid of failure, but gamifying it instead
• Doing what feels good to you while worrying less about what other people think
