info_outlineThe image might paint a picture of success: traveling for work, commuting to prestigious cities, climbing the corporate ladder. But behind the suits and government consulting facade, I was drowning in stress, unhappiness, and burnout.
Here's a little origin story of Classy Career Girl.
The Struggle Within:
Miscarriages chipped away at my hope, and the pressure to conform took its toll. I was overweight, unhealthy, and desperately seeking something more. The corporate world had squeezed the life out of me.
A Leap of Faith:
Deciding to prioritize my well-being and happiness was scary. I put motherhood aside (temporarily!), committed to getting healthy, and chased a burning vision. Nights and weekends were spent pouring myself into my blog, building a course, and dreaming of a different future.
From Part-Time Hustle to Thriving Business:
Going part-time in the corporate world felt risky, but it opened space for new possibilities. Event hosting, network talks, and 1-on-1 coaching sessions started popping up. The monthly revenue, initially a trickle, slowly grew into a steady stream.
This Wasn't Just About Money:
It wasn't just about financial success. I was building a community, connecting with people, and sharing my passion. Every webinar, every coaching session, was a tiny victory, a step towards the life I envisioned.
Finding Balance:
My journey wasn't always smooth. There were bumps, doubts, and moments of uncertainty. But the key was learning to find balance. Balancing my growing business with the joys of motherhood, carving out time for self-care, and embracing flexibility became my mantra.
My Message to You:
If you're feeling stuck, unhappy, or burnt out, know that change is possible. It might not be easy, but with courage, commitment, and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone, you can create a life that nourishes your soul and sparks joy. My journey from the corporate ladder to career coaching and motherhood taught me that the most valuable pursuit is not defined by titles or external validation, but by the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment on your own terms.
