High Vibe Table Talks: Empowering Solopreneurs

"My Job is My Angel Investor" - Flipping the Script with Carli LeBlanc


Listen Later

Ep. 103 What if your 9 to 5 isn’t holding you back—but holding you down in the best way possible?

In this mindset-shifting episode of High Vibe Table Talks, host Merchon Hargrave sits down with Carli LeBlanc, a clinical researcher, content strategist, and founder of CD Creative Co, who is reframing the entire narrative around what it means to be an entrepreneur. Instead of seeing her full-time job as a barrier, Carli calls it her “angel investor,” funding and supporting her growing business while allowing her to show up fully for her family.

This episode is a must-listen for women who are quietly building empires after hours—those who’ve been made to feel like they aren’t real entrepreneurs because they’re still clocking in. Carli proves that structure, strategy, and self-trust are more valuable than hustle culture ever was.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

  • How to redefine entrepreneurship on your own terms

  • Carli’s time-saving approach to batching content in a single day

  • The importance of setting boundaries—with work, family, and yourself

  • Why identifying your productivity patterns is a game-changer

  • The freedom in asking for help and letting go of doing it all
