Daring Career Leap: My Journey to Freedom! 🚀✨

And about 6 years ago, I left a really great job and a company and decided to take a chance on myself and take a leap of faith and start my own coaching and consulting business and do some of the other things that you mentioned as well.

Yeah, you know, it's nothing like working for yourself. I can't wait until I get old enough to be like you and just walk away. And do things on my own and do my own thing. But, you know, just going through the journey and trying to accomplish those things, you know, it's awesome. And I also know that it's a lot of hard work, you know, when you trying to do things on your own and to walk away from corporate America to do your own thing. I know that was a big, big, big decision to make. I got a pastor, my pastor, he did the same thing. He was like VP of Morton Salt and it was a tough decision to walk away from that and do the ministry. 3 full times. So he talks about it all the time. So I know that that was a big stepping stone. So, and now talking about corporate America, tell us about your time in corporate America and how that experience changed your outlook on things.

You know, it's interesting. I had some great years. I worked with the most amazing people. I believed in my leaders that I worked with. So I would say that the people probably kept me there for a long time. But I also felt like when I was at work, it's— people always say bring your full self, bring your authentic self to work. I never really felt like that actually was possible. I worked in financial services, and I always felt like I had to, you know, just kind of put on a uniform every single day and play a role in the organization. So it wasn't really till I was in my mid-40s, and I said, you know what, I think that I want to see what it's like to actually do something that feels completely aligned to who I am in full integrity.
