I want to start a business of my own. I fear I’m too naive and will be made to feel like a silly little girl despite recognizing this type of thinking is flawed and unhelpful.

What about you? What do you want? What’s stopping you? What do you fear?

I also want to start a startup. I have no experience and expect it to fail and learn from it, but I have no mental energy to do anything rn

I advise that you don’t go into a startup expecting it to fail or thinking you have no mental energy. That’s far too expensive an endeavor to do if you’re not sure.

Regardless of the business you want to start, it will be difficult to successfully launch with that level of fear and insecurity. If you weren’t a psychotherapist, I’d say therapy first ;).

I wanna be the CFO or just a regular president of my company (in Europe only for now) but i don't have enough experience yet 🥺

Food Story Time! I made matzo ball soup for lunch. Every time I make matzo ball soup, I think of Bubbie Ruth. She was my ex bf’s granny. The first time time I met Bubbie Ruth was the first time I tried matzo ball soup. She was cooking; I asked if I could watch. She used seltzer water and chicken schmaltz. Weeks later when we visited again. I offered to make her soup. She reluctantly said yes. I served it; she tasted. She was verklempt and said to her grandson, “Marry this goyem!”. 😂
