Episode #11: Accepting Your Worthiness and Investing in Your Support with Lena West
Today the incomparable Lena West joins me on the Ready Enough podcast. Lena is a unique blend of coach, techie, marketing whiz, cheerleader, and intuitive guide. She helps women-identified entrepreneurs get real about business growth and what it truly means to show up for yourself and your business. Over the years, I’ve come to count on her honesty, directness, brilliance, depth, hilarity, power, and profound generosity.
Lena has done my Imposter Complex work, and in this conversation, we talk about worthiness and mistrust of ease. I’ve witnessed Lena’s ability to SEE a business model bigger than people can see for themselves and we talk about why folks are afraid of that vision. This is part of Lena’s gift in helping folks reclaiming the title of CEO and what that means for them.
We also talk about the pain of not feeling yourself surrounded by the right people and Lena shares a fabulous analogy of diminishment being a booty call. And the Imposter Complex being smoked gouda that will forever make me laugh.
“Worthiness is not something someone bestows upon you and you are worthy. Nope, you’re worthy because you’re here and you’re physically on this planet in whatever form you’re in.”
-Lena West
