Daniela UslanParticipant
I love that you want a life filled with good food, good books, and time to think, write and just be. That sounds heavenly. And I love your focus on learning, growing, and stretching your capabilities! That’s one of my favorite things about entrepreneurship, too!
Daniela UslanParticipantI’m so sorry to read about your daughter. That is so hard! I want you to be able to be there for her in all the ways that matter. I’m rooting for you!
Daniela UslanParticipantI have spent years feeling guilty for this, but here it is. I want to do what I want, when and how I want to do it. I want to be creative and make cool shit that people love. I want to build a thing that only I can build. I don’t want people telling me what to do, when to do it, or how to do it. I don’t want to be forced to do projects that bore me or don’t feel meaningful. I want to be able to travel or be with my daughter when I want to. I have a ton of skills and I want to use them as I see fit, not how anyone else wants me to use them.
And….I had a very traumatizing workplace bullying situation when I was a teacher in 2011. I loved being a teacher. I felt like it was my calling and it was devastating when I was bullied and then forced to resign, despite being a great teacher. I never want to feel like I am reliant on a bureaucratic or Capitalistic system to make ends meet. I never want to feel like I can lose everything because someone else “owns” my job.
I want to own my destiny and my day to day reality.
Daniela UslanParticipantConfidence looks like me doing things for my people from a place of care and knowing that I am truly supporting them. Confidence looks like going within and making decisions based on self-trust. Confidence looks like putting my stuff out there even when it feels weird or different. Confidence looks like getting clear about what makes me feel good and then doing that, rather than trying to “make people” like me or my offerings. Confidence looks like trusting that what I’m putting into the world is valuable and not relying on metrics out of my control to tell me if I’m worthy or not.
Daniela UslanParticipantWow. I absolutely LOVE this metaphor! It feels like when you’re confident, you take the time to check in with yourself and feel into what’s right for YOU rather than getting swept away by what everyone else is saying you should do. I have been thinking about this a lot and deeply resonate with it.
