Business (especially getting started or changing your business pipeline), Changing careers, leveling up in your career, walking through the scary life changes; How the simplest practice can have the biggest effect
Are you the type of person who, once they knew what they wanted to do, got laser-focused on it? That was me. Once I knew what I wanted to be "when I grew up" that was it. I got laser focus on my industry and plowed in, full-steam ahead into my industry.
I proudly did the grind for 18 years and worked my way up from intern to Director of Production. That position was one I had been gunning for and planned to use it to launch me into a bigger role, at a bigger company, which in my mind, also meant less grinding and an assistant! However, 1 week after landing my career-launching-job, I found out I was pregnant. I was one of 2 female execs at the company and the only one who was married. There was NO company policy for maternity/paternity leave. So now, I had to work doubly hard to prove to them how awesome I was before I started showing, but now I also had to justify my need to take a 6-8 week maternity leave. No stress.
The funny thing is, I thought I was doing great with all that. I got compliments from the company owner, from vendors, from everyone I worked with. I was fast and efficient at turning things around and I knew what I was doing.
When it came time for my maternity leave, I let the company know that I would be working 20 hours weeks and would be working on off-line projects that needed to get done (I was the only person at the small company who could do my job). 4.5 weeks into my maternity leave, I get a call that I’m being let go because I wasn’t “available enough”.
My future, my plans, my direction, my purpose were all torn from me when I was at my weakest, recovering from giving birth and trying to manage a very demanding newborn and a toddler. That moment was the trigger for my world imploding, but it was also the best thing that could have happened to me.
I was burned out from working 12-20 hour days, 5-7 days a week, being in a new city, state, or country every 3,6, or 9 months. I was tired of the micro-aggressive BS of people I had to work in the entertainment industry. I was tired of having to prove my worth over and over again. But the kicker is, somewhere along the way, what I wanted from life, what I valued most no longer matched with where I was going and it took my world imploding to see it.
Now, I manage 2 businesses where I empower my clients and teach them ways to integrate their whole selves into executing their financial game plan or sail smoother through the life-changing event that is motherhood, especially when you’re a working mama.
