How To Avoid A Fawn Response in Business
Are you experiencing a Fawn Response in your business?
Fawn responses in business look like:
People pleasing: Clients, Future Clients in the DM’s, your community.
Avoiding conflict or difficult conversations, maybe even difficult posts or content too that might rock the boat a bit.
Lack of identity & becoming your mentors, other people’s content you consume + before you know it you’ve emerged into their stuff.
Performative Action
Finding yourself disconnected from what you’re needing because you’re too busy care-taking everyone else..
Overwhelmed because of lack of boundaries..
If this sounds like you, take a moment, a pause, a hand over your heart & a deep breath. Your body is looking to find safety. If you’re wanting support around this, reach out.
Then ask yourself: what boundaries are you setting for yourself personally & for your business this year? This month? This week? Today?
You can start by normalizing the Journey.
Had a dip in income? Welcome to running a business.
Have a moment where you’re like fuck this launch is NOT going as planned? Welcome to running a business.
Restructuring your business model for sustainability & scalability and things seem slow? Welcome to running a business.
Investing a lot in your growth and not seeing the # you want each month? Welcome to running a business.
Shift your opinion or the way you do something. Shift your definition of success.
Entrepreneurship takes resiliency.
Which takes working the nervous system and the unconscious mind.
So take some time to calibrate.
Remember why you started and where you want to go…Remember…
- The vision board you make every year and crossing it all off as you manifest each thing
- That you have Time Freedom & flexibility to build your business your way
- That growing a Heart Centered business takes time
- To release that imposter syndrome around coaching + step into it with full confidence!
