194. How I Quit My 9-5 Finance Career & Built A Multi-Six Figure Coaching Business

Glow Up to Blow Up

I’m switching things up and sharing an interview I did on The Building Her Podcast with the fabulous Katja Lillian. We’re diving into the story of how I went from a finance career to running my own business as a spiritual life coach—and let me tell you, it wasn’t a smooth ride. This conversation brings back all those tough moments of doubt and fear I experienced when I first left my 9-to-5, including struggling to claim my new identity and working through all the mindset shifts that come with building something from scratch.

In this episode, we cover:

• The early days of transitioning from a finance career to coaching, including the identity crisis and fear of judgment
• Building confidence when you’re just starting out and don’t yet have the results to back it up
• Mindset shifts that kept me going when I felt unsure, including how I disconnected my worth from external validation
• The importance of taking action, even when you don’t feel ready - and how that builds confidence along the way
• How self-love and not settling for less than you deserve have been crucial to my personal and business growth
• A peek into how motherhood has changed my business and how I’m navigating that transition with less hustle and more white space in my calendar

If you’re feeling stuck or uncertain about your journey, this episode is for you. Take a listen and know that your success is inevitable when you decide to never give up.
