In today's episode, I'm joined by Allie, a former special education teacher turned entrepreneur. From bartending and substitute teaching to becoming an Instagram marketing manager, Allie's path to entrepreneurship has been anything but linear. What started as a desire for flexibility turned into a thriving business and a life centered around faith, family, and freedom. If you've ever been curious about redefining success, pivoting careers, or building a business that fits your lifestyle, this episode is for you!

In this episode, Allie and I discuss:

• Her early career aspirations
• The pivotal moment that sparked her passion for helping others
• Facing rejection from grad schools and the emotional toll of redirection
• Life during her transition period, including bartending and working at a golf course
• The life change that came with her husband's job and the decision to stay home with their son
• Her journey through IVF and the financial, emotional, and spiritual lessons that came with it
• How joining the Fearless Chase Academy opened her eyes to Instagram marketing
• Her weekly business schedule that keeps both work and family time sacred and how she protects her time

About the Guest:

Allie is a Mississippi-based entrepreneur and mom whose path to business ownership started in the most unexpected way. Through a series of personal and professional challenges, including infertility struggles and a desire for more fulfilling work, Allie rediscovered herself and found a new path in Instagram marketing. With a background in special education and a heart for helping others, she made a bold pivot from the classroom to network marketing — and then into running her own business. She now supports clients with social media strategy and content creation, while keeping her family at the center of it all.
