Starting a Business While Working Full-Time: How I Made It Happen

In episode 66, I’m sharing my journey of building a business while balancing a demanding full-time corporate role. As someone who spent years navigating the corporate world, achieving 11 promotions and eventually leading teams, I knew there was more I wanted to create for myself. This episode dives into what it truly took to transition from corporate life to full-time entrepreneurship. I open up about the struggles, the support systems I needed, and the mindset shifts that helped me build my coaching business. From hiring a coach and setting boundaries to building a network of entrepreneurial “besties,” I’ll walk you through the highs and lows of pursuing your passion outside of the 9-5. Whether you're looking to start your own venture or wondering how to manage both worlds, this episode is packed with insights on finding clarity, creating balance, and staying focused.
