Hey there, Starbeams! Welcome to another insightful journey, one that many of you might find yourselves on more often than you'd like — the path of launching. This podcast is all about navigating launch exhaustion with grace and powerful tools. Let’s dive into some real-life experiences and practical tips to keep your spirit high and steady.
Why This Topic, Sora?
Recently, inside our Cosmically Blissful Business mentorship, a client shared her struggles during her second launch for her death doula practitioner training. The first launch was exhilarating, full of energy and excitement. But the second time around, she was facing overwhelming exhaustion. This scenario is so common for many of us launching multiple times, and it comes with a mix of physical, emotional, and environmental factors contributing to our tiredness. Oh how I know it!
The Second-Time Blues
The excitement of the first launch is often unmatched and incredibly satiating. But subsequent launches bring their own set of challenges. There's a slight sense of dread, overwhelm, and exhaustion that can accompany launching the same program multiple times. The sacred initiation and excitement of unveiling something new fades real fast and it is replaced with the feeling of doom by the pressure of replicating or surpassing your initial success. Yuck. No wonder no one wants to launch over and over again.
The Feelings During Launches
Whether your launch period is a few days or stretches into weeks, the pressure can feel immense. You're constantly gauging success, wondering if people will say ‘yes.' This stress is a learning opportunity for us as life coaches, healers, and spiritual entrepreneurs.
Here are some common feelings during the launch process:
Unbearable Tiredness
Comparisons to Previous Success
Fear of Failure
Go ahead and listen to the pod because I’ll be sharing practical strategies that are magical to manage feelings of overwhelm, comparison, and fear of failure in subsequent launches. Let’s remember the importance of self-compassion, energetic practices, spiritual rituals, and community support to maintain motivation and avoid burnout during the launch process.
