Impact with Ease

No two journeys towards success look alike. Missed opportunities, big wins and strange "ah-ha" moments make up steps on the path to personal fulfillment, if you can just begin by listening to yourself. 

Katie Richardson, Founder of YearCheer, found herself searching for something better for her future - but she wasn’t sure what it was. A series of events led her to realize that losing the VP job she’d worked for her whole career was an opportunity for her to become the CEO of her own business. The only problem? She lacked clarity on the type of business she ought to build, and how to bring it to fruition.  

On this episode of The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake and Katie cover Katie’s internal journey from where she started till the moment she knew she needed a change and beyond, the tactics that helped her generate a successful business model in just months, and the extreme importance of building your business with clarity and alignment to your values. Join in for a real story that will resonate. 

You’ll Learn  

• How a mentor or accountability partner can help you where an online program can't
• What inspired Katie to create a business that provides magic moments to moms and their families
• How Katie creates moments of connection with her own kids (and gets help with her business at the same time)
• And much more!

On this episode of The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake and Araceli give us an in-depth look at the fears and struggles faced by a woman in the midst of a career transition and offer wisdom on separating your professional accomplishments from what makes you who you are as well as redefining happiness on your own terms to reach true fulfillment.

Most of us have searched for a job before - it's not difficult, and if you've done it once, you can do it again. The problem you face, as a woman transitioning out of the wrong career, is that no job board, headhunter or resume writer can give you the opportunity you're seeking if you have no clue where you want to go.

On this episode of The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake expands on the mistakes that get made when you confuse a transition out of an unfulfilling career with a routine job search, the tools you should be armed with as you search for a new path forward, and why you need professional mentorship with an outside perspective in order to reach the fulfilling career you're looking for. Listen in for sound advice to still the stress.

You’ll Learn  

• How searching without clarity lands you back where you started (or worse)
• Why you won't find a fulfilling path forward if you rely on impersonal methods
• How your doubts come true when you get stuck in your head
• And much more!

“If we are living out anything less than our highest purpose is, what is the point? It’s not about being ‘enough’ and having an ‘enough’ life, it’s about going to bed at night and saying ‘I’m proud of what I’ve done today, and I’m proud of the life I’ve created, and I’m excited for what’s to come.”
