Main Business Issues:

Having to constantly put out fires 

Elease’s Key Insights and Takeaways:

As a multi-faceted entrepreneur, Elease noticed that whenever she was at the brink of success, something “bad” would happen to derail her 

Since a lot of these things were outside of her direct control she was confused as to why this was happening 

As we dove deeper into the call it became clear that her pattern of avoidance was actually creating a lot of the “crashes” she had to dig herself out of 

This was such a rooted part of her identity that “good at problem solving” was showing up on personality tests but she hadn’t made the connection that she was creating her own problems to solve 

In addition, she also had a tendency to catastrophize which made the cycle even worse because even small things would throw her off
