** Mae's Coupon Code for our listeners: MILLENNIAL2019 for 10% off one of her new client packages! In this episode, Mae Deevy shares her perspective from inside the 9-5, building her business intentionally on the side. She has allowed her corporate job to support her as she began her journey of self-discovery, figuring out what it really is she wants to do with her life before deciding on her business direction. Mae is now studying to be a hypnotherapist, something that she could not have predicted when she first started her journey. I absolutely loved hearing from Mae about how she has approached her personal growth and business journey. She speaks a lot about mindset and balancing your 9-5 life and relationships while building your business. I personally wish I would have understood a lot of what she has to share back when I was in the 9-5, so I know this episode is going to be very useful to our listeners still in the corporate world! SHOWNOTES (3:50) Mae: I could’ve never told you I'd be here and doing what I’m doing today, even 1 year ago. (5:50) I studied music and minored in Italian. I always thought I’d be a singer. (6:20) I’ve been working in the corporate world for 6 years now in corporate consulting. It involves a lot of travel. (7:12) This was the only adult job I had had so I didn’t realize how stressed I was. (7:50) I started to think that I needed to do more yoga, and I realized that when I did yoga it made me nicer. (8:10) Then my sister really got into essential oils and I started to bring them to work with me. (10:00) I realized that I was so involved with the corporate world that I completely lost touch with myself. (11:25) I decided to take a yoga training course, and I took it at the very worst time. (13:00) It was then I started learning about chakras and the mind, body, and spirit connection. (13:27) This opened up a new realm, and I was very embarrassed to talk with my coworkers about it. (14:28) This whole road with yoga and essential oils has led me to where I am today to start studying hypnotherapy. (15:15) I have been practicing hypnotherapy every day, and I feel a grounding I haven’t felt before. (17:03) My advice for women who are in the 9-5 world and who are looking to break out is that it is never the right time. (19:15) You are so worth giving yourself the time to do the things that you want to do! (19:40) My personal definition of success is continuing to learn and educate myself. (23:00) It’s great to use your knowledge to help others! (25:15) During my time in corporate, my work friends were my real friends because we were together all the time. (29:23) When I think of my future self and my future life, I think about freedom, fulfillment and pure joy. (33:03) The more that you get to know yourself the more that everything will be more successful down the line. (36:14) It is important for everyone to see that everyone has a different mindset practice. (Mae uses the 5-minute journal!) Links Mentioned Mae's Website Mae's Instagram
