Five years ago I was an Event & Program Director, a mom with young kids, a new (to us) house, and I was about to resign from the job(s) I'd held for nearly a decade without one idea of what I was going to do next.

I was sad, but at peace. I knew I needed to make space for something new.

I also knew my mental health needed some serious attention, I'd never truly considered what I wanted out of my career, and I was realizing just how much responsibility falls on the shoulders of women.

In this first episode I tell my entrepreneurship story with emotional details I've not shared publicly before. I talk about what integrative marketing is and why it makes such a positive difference for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

I admit to a somewhat embarrassing moment in a janitor's closet...

The time I told my kids' school I wasn't interested in volunteering...

And how I went from not listening to podcasts to starting one of my own.

Thanks for tuning in to this first episode.

It’s a great conversation and I know you’ll get so much out of it.
