📝 Business Tip: Turn Imposter Syndrome into Your Business’ Advantage

Feeling like a fraud—even after success? You’re not alone. Imposter Syndrome hits 84% of entrepreneurs and can quietly sabotage decisions, confidence, and growth. This week, we invited licensed therapist and business owner Charrisse Somme to show us how to recognize imposter thoughts and use them as fuel, not roadblocks.

Mindset shifts that help:
✔ Own your accomplishments (don’t downplay them)
✔ Set boundaries with comparison
✔ Focus on action—not perfection
✔ Reframe negative self-talk

Growth doesn’t happen in your comfort zone. Click the link below to get practical tools to quiet the inner critic and propel your business forward with confidence.

🔦 Small Business Spotlight: Introducing Greensboro’s First Pediatric DPC Practice

Another Triad first is hitting the map! Joyful Pediatrics is Greensboro’s first and only pediatric-focused direct primary care (DPC) practice—offering a fresh, relationship-based approach to children’s healthcare.

In the DPC model, families pay a predictable monthly fee, which covers unlimited visits, same- or next-day appointments, direct access to their pediatrician via text or phone, and longer, un-rushed visits. There are no copays, no surprise bills, and no insurance barriers standing between families and the care their children need.

Founded by Dr. Jaclyn Dovico, a board-certified pediatrician, and her husband Dr. Adam Dovico, a lifelong educator, Joyful Pediatrics was created to serve the whole child. In addition to high-quality medical care, the practice offers integrated support for mental health, parenting guidance, and educational consulting—all under one roof.

In their words: “It’s pediatric care the way it should be: more personal, more connected, and more joyful.”

➡️ Their grand opening is August 4th, with a ribbon cutting to follow. Stay tuned!
