One of the most misunderstood aspects of being an entrepreneur and makeup artist is that people often see it as simply applying makeup — a creative and fun job. In reality, it’s a highly technical and deeply professional field. As a makeup artist and aesthetician, I’ve learned that true artistry extends far beyond the surface. Read more>>

Common Misconceptions About Psychotherapy There are a lot of misconceptions floating around about psychotherapy, and it’s easy to see why. With social media influencers and AI becoming go-to sources for self-diagnosis, symptom checks, and basic mental health info, people are getting a heavy dose of personal opinions rather than solid, scientific, or research-backed facts about mental health.

One of the biggest misconceptions about my business is that wedding photography is just about showing up with a camera and taking pretty pictures. In reality, it’s so much more than that. As an Ottawa wedding photographer, my job is to tell a couple’s story in a way that feels honest, emotional, and true to them. Read more>>

One of the most common misconceptions about operations is that it’s purely logistical or rigid but in reality, it’s a deeply creative role. Things rarely go exactly as planned in live events, so success often hinges on your ability to adapt in real time. Read more>>

People think we’re in the magic business, but that’s the biggest misunderstanding. We’re actually in the relationship repair business. There is enough content in the world – kids have unlimited videos on their phones, and families have thousands of streaming options. What we’re bringing is connection. Every week, we watch families walk into our shows completely disconnected – everyone in their own digital bubble. Read more>>

One of the most often misunderstood aspects about my work is that people think shadow work means focusing only on their negative traits or painful emotions. They see or hear the word ‘shadow,’ and all their unconscious associations come up and are projected onto that term, creating a feeling of discomfort, which they then interpret shadow work as something they should avoid.

This question connects me to how being an energy healer and practitioner is often misunderstood. When we become trained in energy healing modalities like Reiki. It can be assumed that we are the ones doing the healing but that is not the case. As an energy healer, I support the system of healing that is already available. Read more>>
Ruth Swissa
That’s such a great question. I think the biggest misconception about Ruth Swissa MedSpa comes from the name itself. When people hear “medspa,” they immediately think of Botox, fillers, and surface-level beauty treatments — which makes sense, because that’s what the industry title often implies. But that’s where the misunderstanding begins. Read more>>

You know, I think what’s most misunderstood about my business, Wounds2Wealth, is that people hear words like healing, trauma or spiritual and immediately picture incense, crystals, and kumbaya circles. Don’t get me wrong, energy and intention matter, but my work goes much deeper than what people call the “woo woo.” What I do bridges the gap between the spiritual and the strategic. Read more>>

Thank you so much for having us — we’re really grateful to be here and to share this work with your audience. I think one of the biggest misunderstandings about our business is what a sound bath actually is. Many people still think of sound baths as something purely “relaxing” or even mystical — a nice experience, but not much more. Read more>>

The first step in the process of branding a new client — the strategic work that happens before any design begins — is often misunderstood or overlooked. Many people tend to think branding starts with visuals, but it really starts with positioning and strategy. Clarifying who a brand is, what they stand for, and how they’re different gives every creative decision meaning. Read more>>

A common misconception about Ace Consulting Digital Marketing is that we’re just another agency that builds websites or runs ads. In reality, we’re a full-service partner focused on long-term growth. We take the time to understand each client’s goals and industry so we can create strategies that actually get results — from web design and SEO to advertising and branding. Read more>>

I think most people are secretly struggling with feeling like they’re not enough, not smart enough, not successful enough, not creative enough, not as “together” as everyone else seems to be. Imposter syndrome sneaks in quietly, even for the most accomplished people. Read more>>

I think people secretly struggle with feeling like they have to do everything alone, sometimes asking for help or even having help offered without having to ask, is a foreign concept to some people; simply extending kindness without the desire for anything in return. I think if more people were 1. okay with not being okay, but 2. Read more>>

I think many people are secretly struggling with feeling lonely but rarely say it out loud. We live in a world that celebrates independence, productivity, and “doing it all on your own.” On the outside, everyone seems fine — traveling solo, working remotely, chasing goals — but deep down, many of us miss real, close human connection.

There is so much information out there regarding fitness and wellness. It can be so much to juggle, and I think a lot of people just feel overwhlemed. They want to get started or get into something, but they just don’t know where to begin. I believe this can lead people to things that don’t actually work for them. Read more>>

I think people today are struggling with the lack of truth in our society – the most fundamental question we are failing to ask is are we really free if there is no truth? How can we make informed decisions about things when have no confidence in what we are being told? Read more>>

I recently had a speaking engagement. The speech was called ‘When self-care becomes self-sabotage’. It was a speech about my journey with seeking to be a ‘perfect’ stepmom, wife, employee, woman and how that quest impacted my mental health. it was a very vulnerable speech, obviously. I had suspicion that I was not alone in my struggles. Read more>>

True Confidence and Self Assurance. I think so many people (men and women but for the sake of this article I’ll be speaking of women) pretend to be confident, pretend to be someone they aren’t in order to fit in or to appear like they never struggle and everything in their life is perfect.

I think most people are quietly struggling with grief—whether they recognize it or not. Not only the grief that follows death, but the subtler, everyday grief of lost versions of ourselves, lost dreams, lost safety, or lost connection. We live in a culture that teaches us to individualize our pain—to “get over it,” to carry it alone, to pretend that healing is a private task. Read more>>

I believe people will misunderstand that I was following God’s lead. Many claim to have a relationship with the Lord yet do not truly know God for themselves. Folks call it faith when they fix their own problems and then they praise God for what they did for themselves that wasn’t at His command. Read more>>

I think the biggest misunderstanding will be that I’m doing all of this just for the money. From the outside, it might look that way—building companies, growing a portfolio, teaching people how to invest—but for me, it’s never been about chasing dollars. It’s about chasing freedom. Money is just the vehicle. Read more>>

I think people might misunderstand my legacy as being only about productivity or achievement, when in reality it has always been about emotion and connection. From the outside, it might look like I am always working, directing, teaching, or organizing festivals, but behind all of that is a deep need to communicate something human. I never wanted to just build a career. Read more>>
Daniel and Cooper Nagore-Adams
People might misunderstand our legacy as being about recognition or personal success. Really, it’s about creating paths for those who didn’t have opportunities and leaving a blueprint for others to follow, the quiet ways we lift people up and strengthen our community. We hope people remember that we cared enough to make a difference, even when no one was watching Read more>>

That I didn’t music because of fame and fortune. Being a professional artist generally means you’re a working artist and I never chased pain. I chased excellence and connection. Music is learned and it is also a language and I am grateful that I understand that language and I’ve mastered it after 45 years of singing, all genres, composing, touring and producing. Read more>>

That I am not enough. I think a lot of people carry this, and it’s such a hard one to let go. I have to remember to fill my cup from the inside out, and not the outside in. To do things that bring me joy, help me process life, and get through the layers of self doubt to the inner, brilliant, more radiant self. Read more>>

I am unwaveringly committed to advancing women’s rights, and I firmly believe that “Women’s Rights are Human Rights”, a statement made during the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1985, It still shocks me that this fundamental truth is not universally accepted. After decades of progress, we are watching the developed world slip backward on equality, and I refuse to accept that as inevitable. Read more>>

When I’m on tour, I am playing 8 shows a week. We get one day off – which is sometimes our travel day. Once we arrive at the city, we usually set up, soundcheck, then play our first show. For the rest of the days, we have some free time until we play a show at night. Read more>>

A normal day starts with fighting through chronic illness and logging into my corporate job. When that day ends, I clock out of one world and into another, the one I actually built for myself. Even when I’m exhausted, pouring candles is where I feel alive. It’s therapy, it’s art, it’s mine. I make candles the way bakers bake, from the heart. Read more>>

Most mornings start with toddler giggles, coffee, and a quiet check-in with myself about what actually matters today. By 8:45 am I’m at the office, and our 9 am scrum sets the tone. It’s where we call the shots for the day, trade quick updates, and agree on the two or three things we’re really going to land. Read more>>
