Krystal Holm: Decluttering

In this episode, Sherley speaks with Personal Branding and Online Business Coach, Darlene Hawley. As a teen mom, Darlene had to grow up very quickly. Things were steady for awhile but steady does not equal fulfilled. Then, losing her mother, catapulted Darlene in a new direction. She knew that the imbalance of retail management and motherhood had been unhealthy for awhile. But it wasn’t until the biggest loss of her life that she made the tough decision to recalibrate and step into entrepreneurship. Once she stepped into this space, there was a battle to stand her ground in a society where people often look down on young entrepreneurs. It certainly wasn’t easy. Darlene, being a naturally helpful individual, continued to use her strengths helping other people succeed despite the doubts. If you are in need of that push to take a leap or keep going if you have already made a leap of faith, this is the episode for you.

In this episode, Sherley is in conversation with Leadership, Communication, and Business Coach, Kim Boudreau Smith. After falling asleep while driving at an intersection, Kim knew she needed to make a change. A life change. Running on autopilot, she was a bit lost, shall we say. From working in the fitness world to working in the corporate space, Kim had to figure out some things. That included figuring out what she needed for herself instead of leaning on what society told her she needed to be. It was a tough lesson to learn but for her, it was a life-saving one. Stepping into entrepreneurship is not easy. Evaluating the why of it all is even more difficult when you are being honest with yourself. Kim walks us through her journey as an entrepreneur, acknowledging the privilege that allowed her to do so and the lessons she learned with that space to grow.  Join Our Facebook Community Femme Parler Website https://femmeparler.libsyn.com/rss [email protected]
