Summary
Ep. 145 Do you ever wake up with that sense of dread about how much has to get done - that you jump right into work mode? You put yourself on the clock immediately (especially mentally), without stopping to check in with the methods, pace, or unattended needs that might truly support the flow of your day? Do you find yourself not moving enough all day because it feels like there's not enough time to break or eat because you can't justify moving from your computer? Mayssa Chehata, my dear friend and founder of the BEHAVE candy company, is sharing what it actually took for her to move out of a productivity-first based mindset… to creating space, listening to her body, and allowing for the right rest to fuel creativity as a female founder. We talk about the rock bottoms that force us to rebuild, how anger can be an important part of the healing journey, and the shift that happens when you learn to give yourself what you so deeply need to become the next best version of you.
HERE'S THE JUICE
-
Breaking down WHY dragging yourself out of bed every day to create will dwindle your creativity down to zero
-
Why do we struggle to embody the feminine so often in a work setting? What does that actually mean?
-
Avoiding conflict is not staying out of conflict, and why that avoidance can take a huge toll on our relationships.
-
What Mayssa calls "Loonybin thinking" and how she was able to restructure her life after taking radical responsibility for a victim mindset.
-
Anger being is a really important piece of our relationships with our parents, and it's healthy to have it but it's equally important to learn not to get stuck in it
-
Discovering the art of how to be alone and give yourself what you have been craving from other people

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to What's the Juice podcast. I am coming to you live right now from California. I'm here |
| 0:08.9 | working on some more music, continuing to challenge myself to move out of my box and learn this |
| 0:16.9 | new craft and take this big leap in my life. And I just wanted to pop in before this episode. |
| 0:23.4 | And thank you all so much, |
| 0:24.7 | everyone who has taken the time to go listen to my music and stream my music and be |
| 0:29.0 | part of this new and exciting and sometimes very scary journey. |
| 0:34.0 | It's been such a pleasure to share with you guys as much as it's also been a bit of an adjustment to make such a huge pivot and rebirth at this time in my life when I'm so used to doing one thing and when so many things in life are in flux right now. |
| 0:49.5 | And I think that a lot of us can relate to that. |
| 0:51.8 | Everyone that I talk to is in the midst of such a major transformation in their life at this very moment. |
| 0:57.0 | And we're all feeling so discombobulated, like we're at the end of one chapter and at the end of one path, |
| 1:03.0 | but the next path isn't quite solidified or clear just yet. |
| 1:06.0 | Or we're not seeing the results of the new path yet. |
| 1:08.0 | So we're just in this really weird limbo space where we're trying to embody this new character that we're not seeing the results of the new path yet. So we're just in this really weird limbo space where |
| 1:11.5 | we're trying to embody this new character that we're becoming in this new season of our lives. |
| 1:18.0 | And it's shaky footing in the beginning. I know a lot of you relate to that. So just wanted to |
| 1:24.0 | thank you all so much for being part of that journey and continuing to come and listen to the pod and just being a part of my world as I figure out who the heck I am and what I can share with you in this chapter of life and what I can kind of elucidate from the lessons that I'm currently learning so that we can all step into this next chapter with more confidence and more ease and more to share and learn from each |
| 1:46.2 | other. So in today's episode, I'm sitting down with my friend Mesa and she's the founder of an |
| 1:52.3 | amazing healthy candy company. And so she and I have had a lot of chats over the years about |
| 1:57.2 | what it's like to be a female founder, about challenges that we've had with all of the |
| 2:02.1 | pressure that comes with that and with the pressure that comes with everyone's work life today |
| 2:06.0 | in our modern world. And I think so many of us have trouble enjoying the work that we do, |
| 2:12.2 | even if it's something that we love because we have this internal system where we're so |
