Perfectionism pretends to be noble. It pretends to help you improve and grow. But in reality, it creates crippling self-doubt and leaves you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck. Instead of helping you grow, perfectionism limits your potential and keeps you small. Perfectionism hits women especially hard. Throw a profession, some children, and religion into the mix and then it really kicks into high gear. The Perfectionist Professional Woman podcast is for high-achieving working women who want to feel more confidence and self-worth at work and at home. If you know you’re smart and skilled but secretly worry you’re not good enough, if you consistently tweak and re-tweak your work trying to make it “just right,” if you’re terrified of failing because you’re worried others will think you’re incompetent, this is the podcast for you. In each episode, Certified Life Coach Keri Martinez will teach you how you can reduce insecurity and overwhelm, decrease fear of failure, increase confidence and self-worth, and enjoy your life more.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, many female millennial entrepreneurs are chasing success, juggling multiple responsibilities, and striving to make an impact—all while feeling the weight of stress and overwhelm. For these women, mastering their emotional landscape is not just a want; it’s a need for personal fulfillment and professional success. A Millennial's Guide to Healthy Emotional Regulation in Life and Business is here to support those women who are tired of burnout and are seeking real tools to help them achieve emotional mastery.

This podcast is your go-to resource for navigating the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship while maintaining balance and calm amid chaos. It's the show for you if you're a female millennial entrepreneur trying to thrive in business without sacrificing your mental well-being. Emotional regulation is the key, achieved through movement, meditation, mindfulness, and more.

Why Emotional Regulation Matters for Female Millennial Entrepreneurs

Female millennial entrepreneurs face unique challenges in today’s business landscape. Many wear multiple hats: creator, leader, innovator, mom, and partner. While building their businesses, these women often confront pressure from external expectations and internal self-criticism. They balance business growth with personal lives, often neglecting their own needs in the process. The constant hustle can leave them overwhelmed, stressed, and on the verge of burnout.

Emotional regulation—the ability to effectively manage and respond to emotional experiences—is critical for long-term success. Whether handling the stress of scaling a business, dealing with difficult clients, or managing the internal battles of imposter syndrome, emotional mastery allows these entrepreneurs to stay grounded, make better decisions, and cultivate resilience.

The host, Jayna Swan, empowers incredible women to embrace their emotions rather than avoid or suppress them. By practicing self-awareness, integrating daily movement, and using mindfulness and meditation techniques, listeners will learn how to transform emotional challenges into opportunities for growth, creativity, and clarity.

We explore topics that will:

• Unlock Emotional Mastery: Discover how to shift from reaction to response and move from a state of overwhelm to one of control. We break down emotional regulation techniques that are simple yet effective, such as mindful breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and the practice of mind-body connection through movement.
• Embrace Self-Care & Self-Love: Learn how prioritizing your emotional well-being is key to your business growth. By practicing self-compassion and reframing negative thought patterns, you will develop an unshakable sense of self-worth, which translates into success and leadership.
• Move with Purpose: Through movement—whether it's yoga, dance, or even a daily walk—you can process emotions and release tension from the body. Physical activity is essential in maintaining emotional balance, and we’ll discuss the science behind how movement can enhance emotional regulation.
• Create Healthy Boundaries: Building a business can sometimes blur the lines between personal and professional life. We explore how to set and maintain healthy boundaries to protect your emotional and mental well-being, ensuring you can thrive in all areas of life without burning out.
• Gratitude & Mindset Shifts: We’ll teach you how to use gratitude as a powerful emotional regulation tool. By shifting your mindset from scarcity to abundance, you can transform how you approach your business's challenges, setbacks, and successes.
