Sh*t We Quit The Same Job (Part 1)

Kristy Wallace and I worked together for almost a decade at Ellevate Network. She was the CEO and I worked with her side by side to bring the company vision to life. We had so much fun building a great team and a great company. Oh, and did I mention we used to co-host a podcast? When Kristy left, I was promoted to CEO, the job I quit a year later and which led me to start this podcast.Part one of this conversation takes us on a deep dive into the first part of Kristy's career, from finance to tech and the dynamic startup ecosystem. Kristy's experiences in these intense industries, balancing her role as a mother of three (amazing) kids while still looking for career growth and challenges, will certainly resonate with you if you’re juggling the myth of "having it all."This episode is a trip down memory lane for me, but it’s also a candid exploration of our mutual decisions to leave the same job. It delves into the nuances of our roles, the unique challenges we faced, and the unspoken truths of female leadership in high-pressure environments.At its core, this conversation is about the power of trust, respect, and genuine connection in the workplace.Part two will be out next week!This is a public episode.
