An interactive anxiety & perfectionism workshop for women business owners, using the Rubber Ducking Method - led by The No BS Therapist
About this Event

Join us at The Botanist for an interactive workshop led by a therapist and speaker who specialises in perfectionism and anxiety - alongside a room full of women business owners who get it.

You’ll learn why your brain and body react to stress and anxiety the way they do - the faster breathing, sweaty palms, nervous energy, butterflies and everything in between.

More importantly, you’ll leave with simple, practical coping techniques you can actually use - including tools like the grey area and rubber ducking (promise, it’s not rude).

There’ll also be plenty of time to ask Becca anything you want about anxiety, stress, perfectionism, coping strategies, self-care, and running a business - from a therapist who’s also a solo business owner herself!

Becca’s relaxed, realistic (and yes, slightly sweary) style ditches the cheesy, fluffy nonsense and focuses purely on relatable, doable ways to manage stress and anxiety in real life - especially when you’re running a business.

What’s included:

One Complimentary hot drink.
A fully structured workbook with diagrams, reflection prompts and key takeaways.
Fun little freebies!
