January 12, 2026Leaving Corporate Life: Finding Clarity as Creators in 2026
Welcome to 2026! Renée left corporate to become a full-time creator (lowest bank account ever, highest life satisfaction), and Mara moved to the Florida Keys. In this season premiere, we're getting real about what entrepreneurship actually looks like when you strip away the Instagram highlights.
We talk about the unglamorous parts no one mentions, financial conversations with partners, the pressure to "hit the ground running" in January, why expectations always miss the mark, and how consistency beats perfection every time.
Plus, Content Club, mindful paddleboarding in the Keys, and why we're done suffering as a ticket to entry.
No bullshit, just two friends navigating the messy middle of building something real.
