Perfectionism, fear of failure, impostor syndrome—these aren't just annoyances, they're the invisible barriers keeping ambitious women from building the businesses and lives they deserve.
Carina Groombridge knows this journey intimately. After transitioning from mechanical engineering to mindset coaching while raising four children, she's mastered the art of helping women identify and overcome the mental blocks holding them back.
"I help you manage your brain," Carina explains, describing how our own thoughts create unnecessary roadblocks to success. Whether it's the fear of judgment, people-pleasing tendencies, or the crushing weight of perfectionism, these patterns can sabotage our progress at any level of achievement.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Carina explores how she built a thriving business while raising young children. Rather than conforming to traditional ideas of professionalism, she designed flexible systems that allowed her to take client calls with a baby present and adjust her schedule to accommodate family needs. This practical wisdom extends to her coaching approach—helping women design businesses that work for their lives, not the other way around.
Most powerfully, Carina shares strategies for overcoming overwhelm, setting boundaries with unsupportive people, and treating yourself as your most valuable asset. Her parting wisdom resonates deeply: "You're so much more capable than you give yourself credit for." It's a reminder that success often begins with believing we deserve it.
