BTI #304: Overcoming Entrepreneur Guilt with Jeanette Edwards

As you probably know, I am a new father. As I’m recording this, my son is coming up on being 4 weeks old. I’m navigating both parenthood and entrepreneurship and I noticed something really fascinating over the last week and a half. 

I took a few weeks off for paternity leave and when I got back into the office, I felt this weird sense of guilt and divided responsibility between my son who is at home, and myself who is sitting in my office. I realized that this is something that so many entrepreneurs are struggling with; parental guilt of dividing their time up between our business and our family.

We’re navigating this topic today with my guest Jeanette Brooke, the founder of Jeanette Brooke Fitness.

“Having them (my children) there and them seeing me do all these things, they’re so proud of me. And they tell me how proud of me they are and that just makes it all worth it.”
