Welcome back to Business & Bubbly, the podcast for women in business who are on a journey to build their big ideas and have fun along the way. I'm your host, Charity Majors, and today's episode is all about navigating the challenges of expansion and dealing with external criticism. We'll dive into a recent social media post that sparked conversation around the question, "Who does she think she is?" But instead of letting it hold us back, we'll explore how we can shift our perspective and focus on the voices that truly support and uplift us. Join me as we uncover the importance of surrounding ourselves with a strong community and choosing the right people to share our dreams with. This is a conversation you won't want to miss, so grab your favorite beverage, get comfortable, and let's dive in. Are you ready? Let's go!

Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:

1️⃣ Surround yourself with the right community: As you grow and expand, it's crucial to surround yourself with like-minded individuals who support and uplift you. Healthy relationships and friendships are essential in maintaining a positive mindset and overcoming external criticism.

2️⃣ Shift your perspective: Instead of focusing on the negative voices and criticisms, shift your perspective towards the voices that propel you forward. Find those who believe in you and your dreams, and let their support drown out the noise of doubt and judgment.

3️⃣ Embrace personal and professional growth: Expansion can be uncomfortable, but it's a necessary part of your journey towards success. Embrace the challenges and setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning. Allow yourself to step into your full potential and embrace the woman you're becoming.
