Carina is an Engineer in the Aerospace Industry and works a traditional 9-5 in the office. After she had her daughter, she realized she wasn’t passionate about engineering and began searching for another career. She wanted to show her daughter, by example, that she could do whatever she wanted to do in life. But Carina felt that she wasn’t living true to her own advice.
info_outlineOur guest on the show today is Marlis Huebner. Marlis earned her Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the University of Cambridge, is married to a fellow scientist (who she met at the University) and is a mom to two children, ages 9 and 6. The Huebner family put roots down in their native Germany after “country hopping” and living in the United States for two years.
After her daughter was born, Marlis said: “things really started to fall apart”. She was struggling to find a balance with all the things that go with being a working mom—trying to be the best Manager at her Corporate job, and the best mom and wife she could be. Marlis said she felt like she was “succeeding in my career but failing as a Mom", and she began to resent her job. And she got angry.
Once she recognized that her anger was impacting her relationship with her kids, she decided to try to find a way to resolve her anger. She began taking entrepreneurship classes to investigate options to get out of her current Corporate career. Along the way, she discovered the mindset that helped her to overcome her anger issues.
After about a year of working on herself through seminars, classes, and books, a noticeable shift occurred and moms at her workplace began commenting on the positive changes they noticed in her. And that is how Marlis’ coaching business got started.
Now, Marlis helps working moms balance work and home and aims to help 500 women each year through her business.
Listen to the show to discover how Marlis got her first client, and to hear about the surprises and stumbling blocks she faced as she began to grow her side hustle.
