Balancing the scales of a fulfilling career and personal life can often feel like a high-wire act—just ask Cate Godley, a Salesforce admin who has worked hard to find a balance in the ecosystem. In a candid discussion with her, we navigate the peaks and valleys of professional growth as a new admin trying to gain on the job knowledge and experience in Salesforce. Together, we discuss strategies that prevent the dreaded burnout, set firm boundaries, and use tools like Asana to manage the unpredictable ebb and flow of admin life.

In this interview, we highlight the importance of finding your community and call out user groups in the community like the Salesforce Mental Health + Illness Group (Virtual) and the Salesforce OhanAbility Group. We invite you to tap into the wisdom of this episode, connect with us on your thoughts, and support each other's growth beyond just the technical.

Cate Godley has been in the Salesforce ecosystem since 2015, and has worn many different Salesforce-related hats, including Salesforce Admin, Pardot Admin, Sales Ops Manager, Consultant, and now Jump Start Program Manager. She is 3 times certified, a Marketing Champion, and co-leader of the Atlanta Salesforce Marketer Group (Pardot). When she's not working on something related to Salesforce, she can often be found traveling to various states to see some of her favorite bands or hanging out at home with her husband and two (very cute) dogs.
