Female entrepreneurs and leaders… I’m calling us out.🗣️ In the last 6 months, after selling my company SimplyBe. Agency | Personal Branding, I’ve talked to a LOT of female business owners and execs. 9 out of 10 of the women I talk to are at a point of breaking. 🛑 They are swimming in 80-hour work weeks. 🛑 They aren’t making enough money. 🛑 They are on too many airplanes and away from their families. 🛑 They are trading their time for dollars. 🛑 They don't have the right team and aren't fully supported. 🛑 They are shook by the state of the world. 🛑 They are considering shutting their businesses down. 🛑 They are just. so. brutally. tired. What’s WILD to me is just how many women feel like they’re "the only ones." You’re not. 😶 42% of women entrepreneurs report experiencing burnout. 😶 45.3% of women report experiencing feelings of loneliness. 😶 52% of female entrepreneurs report experiencing mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. 😶 44% of women-owned businesses reported unprofitability, particularly during their initial years. This is real. I too, am here to say that you’re not alone. I’m here to SHOW you that you are not alone. I’m here to invite you into a gathering of women TOMORROW, Wednesday, July 24 at 11am CT, hosted by Charlie Saffro and I, so that you can stop having these conversations behind closed doors, and finally feel fully supported, seen and held in your journey....and open up a whole new perspective of possibilities. Get ready for a brutally honest discussion AND a deeper look at a new {completely possible} way of being a woman in business. One that takes us from burnt-out...to burning bright. Join Charlie and I this Wednesday at 11am CT—we have over 200 women registered!—and we'd love to have you join us. REGISTRATION link is in the COMMENTS below. 👇 #leadership #feminineleadership #empoweredleadership

I am very passionate about this topic Jessica Zweig As a female entrepreneur (ex corporate) who chose to grow my babies while growing a company and PROVE I could do it differentky - I’m proud to say I built a 400 employee, fully remote, digital first company - while being ‘Mum first’ and working 20 hours per week mostly. It takes a willingness to fight for it, be ruthless with your time and systemise constantly for the highest ROI delegation possible. Of course I’ve had sleepless nights and all that but often that’s young kids & life plus the heightened anxiety scaling any business brings. But on the whole I have a good story that I’m starting to realise needs to be told. Love to talk about my experience of it all if you are ever open. PS loved your interview today with Adam Robinson 👏

Thank you for addressing such a crucial issue. The psychological toll on female entrepreneurs is often overlooked. Perhaps focusing on building resilience and creating networks can offer additional sustainable support. Implementing mental health resources within these groups could also make a significant difference. Looking forward to the discussion.

It’s sad to see these conversations behind closed doors because of RETALIATION. . . Cultures of perfectionism and lack of psychological safety have people fearful for their jobs if they don’t lie and tell management what they want to hear. We can make better decisions if people all drive to the same goals and allow failure to be part of the process, not 3 strikes you’re out!! Looking forward to this Jessica Zweig & Charlie Saffro !!

I just had a similar conversation with a couple women over the weekend. It's time to change things; women feel they need to do it all themselves...even when they don't understand it all. Let's keep spreading the word!

I’m sorry I missed this Jessica and I’ve no doubt it was amazing! It’s a landscape that desperately needs changing and one of the reasons I left private equity 10+ yrs ago and started my own biz. Keep the fire burning 🔥 and feel free to ask for added help - I’m here! 🤩
