Show 178 - Choosing a Path of Awareness with Joan Rosenberg

Today’s Ultimate Entrepreneur episode is about the straddle of life and business. In this episode, I interview special guest Dr. Joan Rosenberg, a speaker, author, and podcaster, who explains how to pursue emotional mastery. Just recently, she released a book called “90 Seconds to a Life you Love: How to Master Your Difficult Feelings to Cultivate Lasting Confidence, Resilience, and Authenticity” so the world can learn how to achieve a life they love through mastering this critical component of life. In this discussion, Dr. Rosenberg will reveal what life can look like when we chose a path of awareness. She’ll explain the 8 unpleasant feelings that cause avoidance and how they impact an entrepreneur’s decision-making process. She doesn’t believe in trying to omit the feelings, rather, how to experience and move through them. Essentially, Dr. Rosenberg breaks down how to ride out difficult feelings so we can move back to a place of confidence, resilience, and authenticity. She explains why Emotional Mastery boils down to responding – not reacting – to situations and events in life so we can pursue anything we want personally and in business. So, tune in and get ready to start your own journey of Emotional Mastery.
