Author: Pepper Makepeace: Entrepreneur, Business Systems & Social Media Marketing Strategy, Solopreneur Consulting September 27, 2021 Duration: 40:25
Sandra Francisco is a Business Coach that helps entrepreneurs go from idea to profit while balancing their personal growth so that they can have fulfillment and profit. Sandra spent 15 years as a marketing and product development expert for two of Canada's fortune 10 companies, after making the difficult decision to leave the corporate path, she found herself exploring professional coaching and the dynamics of the human psyche. The combination of her eclectic background in personal and professional development translates to a unique and exceptional understanding of people, from multi-million-dollar business owners to entrepreneurs that are just getting started in business. In this episode, Sandra and I talked about how anxiety shaped her decision to start her own business and how that move impacted her sense of identity. Sandra’s passionate about the importance of self-care and we discuss the common blocks her clients experience in this area, the impact of imposter syndrome and how identity plays such a huge role in her work. If you’re struggling with anxiety, imposter syndrome or overwhelm, this episode is for you.

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when women building businesses decide to share their real stories-not just the polished highlights, but the messy middle parts, too. That’s the space you’ll find in the Small Business Sisterhood Podcast. Each conversation goes beyond surface-level advice, delving into the actual systems, the social media puzzles, and the personal hurdles that creative entrepreneurs and bloggers face daily. Host Pepper Makepeace brings her background as a strategist for solopreneurs into every interview, fostering discussions that feel like a candid chat between friends who just happen to be incredibly savvy about online business. This podcast serves as an audio extension of the Small Business Sisterhood community, offering a sense of connection and practical insight for anyone in those early, often isolating, stages of building something of their own. You’ll hear from a diverse range of female founders who detail what worked, what failed spectacularly, and how they navigated the path to a sustainable venture. It’s about finding your people and your strategy, one episode at a time.
