What if the biggest factor impacting your business success isn't your marketing strategy, business plan, or years of experience—but your nervous system?

In this thought-provoking episode of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, Sharvette sits down with Ashley Waddell, LCSW-S, Wholistic Therapist and Wellness Strategist, to explore why emotional regulation may be one of the most overlooked leadership skills for entrepreneurs.

Ashley explains how anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm can quietly influence decision-making, visibility, confidence, and consistency in business. She also shares practical ways entrepreneurs can move from survival mode into sustainable leadership and wellness.

If you've ever found yourself overthinking, procrastinating, avoiding opportunities, or wondering why you know what to do but struggle to do it, this episode is for you.

✅ What it really means to have a "regulated" nervous system

✅ Why nervous system regulation is a hidden business skill

✅ How anxiety and chronic stress affect entrepreneurs

1. Your Nervous System Influences Your Business

Success isn't just about having the right strategy.

When your body is overwhelmed, your ability to think clearly, make decisions, and execute consistently becomes much more difficult.

2. Regulation Creates Better Leadership

Being a regulated entrepreneur means recognizing when you're stressed, anxious, or emotionally activated—and having the tools to return to a place of clarity before making important decisions.

3. Sometimes the Problem Isn't the Strategy

Many entrepreneurs already know what they need to do.

The challenge is that anxiety, perfectionism, overwhelm, or unresolved emotional experiences can make it difficult to actually implement those strategies.

Ashley recommends incorporating intentional moments of regulation throughout your day:

✔ Pause before reacting

✔ Take inventory of what your body is communicating

✔ Ask, "What story is playing in the background?"

✔ Journal—or record voice notes if writing isn't your style

Episode 803 | The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show

Writing your book is only half the journey. The real question is: How do you launch it so people actually buy it, talk about it, and invite you to speak?

In this powerhouse episode of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, Sharvette welcomes back Dr. Pam Perry, nationally recognized PR strategist, branding expert, and founder of Perry PR, to reveal what separates an average book launch from a superstar launch.

With more than 25 years of experience helping authors, speakers, and entrepreneurs secure media coverage, publishing opportunities, and national visibility, Dr. Pam shares practical strategies that every aspiring and published author needs to know.

Whether you're writing your first book or preparing for your tenth, this conversation is filled with actionable marketing advice you can implement immediately.

✅ The biggest mistake most authors make before launching their book

✅ Why your book cover is actually a marketing tool

✅ How to build a launch team before your book is released

✅ What belongs inside a professional media kit

✅ Why every author needs a press release

✅ How to attract media attention—even without a bestseller

✅ Creative ways to secure sponsors for your book

1. Start Marketing Before the Book Is Finished

One of Dr. Pam's biggest recommendations is to begin building excitement months before publication.

Test multiple book cover designs, gather audience feedback, and begin talking about your upcoming release long before launch day.

2. Think Beyond Book Sales

Your book is not the finish line.

It opens doors to:

• Speaking engagements
• Podcast interviews
• Corporate training
• Workshops
• Consulting
• Brand partnerships

A successful launch positions you as an expert—not just an author.

Your Experiences Have Purpose

Episode 800 of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show

What if the hair your client is losing is actually revealing a deeper health issue—and a missed business opportunity?

In this milestone 800th episode of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, Sharvette welcomes back Dana Wilson, Certified Trichologist, Author, Educator, Empowerment Coach, and CEO of Hair Cares, Inc. Dana shares how hair professionals can transform the way they approach hair loss by understanding its root causes, supporting client wellness, and creating additional revenue streams in their businesses.

This conversation is packed with practical insights for hairstylists, braiders, barbers, salon owners, and anyone experiencing hair loss who wants to understand the connection between scalp health, overall wellness, and sustainable hair growth.

Hair Loss Is More Than a Cosmetic Issue

Dana explains that hair loss often points to underlying health concerns. Understanding the root cause can help clients achieve healthier hair while improving overall wellness.

Hair Professionals Are the First Line of Defense

Revenue Is Walking Out the Door

When clients leave the salon searching for answers elsewhere, stylists miss opportunities to provide additional services, consultations, products, and support.
