When Krista’s youngest child went into kindergarten, she and her spouse at the time decided that now was the perfect time for her to launch her own business. And for the next seven years, Krista was in her sweet spot building a fitness company she loved and that gained a great following.

To celebrate Halloween, today we're revisiting one of our most popular episodes and scariest topics - Personal Branding!

Personal branding can feel really scary! Instead of preparing ourselves for a job search or career growth, it feels like we're trying to sell toothbrushes! And honestly, while we’re used to telling stories as moms it can be pretty scary to think about effectively telling our own stories.

That’s how Melissa was feeling as she launched a job search. Melissa is a mom of 1 and a military spouse. She and her family have moved around the country multiple times, and Melissa has a lot of varied interests so her job history is, in her words “scattered.”

Listen as Becca and Marie break down the intimidating idea of personal branding and help Melissa own her personal brand in her job search.

When Sarah read the description of the Self-Directed Star after taking the Just-Right Job Match quiz, she was nodding right along. Her career tagline is definitely “I’ve got this” and she loves to work independently.

Join Becca and Marie to talk through how Sarah can tackle her job search for a remote role with a lot of time flexibility by expanding her search beyond the traditional sites.

Eden joined the Career Clarity Program knowing that deep down she wanted to work for herself. She had even started building a business on the side while working her full-time job and is imagining a world in which she could fully align her work schedule with her kids’ school schedule. 

The tricky part was that taking the full entrepreneurial leap was scary, and there were logistics to take into consideration - money being a big one.

Join Becca and Marie to talk about all of the different ways you can be an entrepreneur while still meeting your family needs. Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to look one way, and it doesn’t have to look one way for you forever!
