Girl Tries Life Podcast

The pandemic required so many of us to pivot, without necessarily knowing what we were pivoting to. Entrepreneurs in particular had to make major shifts to stay afloat, amidst uncertainty and huge personal impact. In today's episode we talk to return guest, Marlo Brausse, about her experience pivoting her business during the pandemic, the path to making a major shift, and giving herself permission to do so.  Listen to Marlo's original episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1p3lwggmbjnBkftFEOnPoH?si=e5d76c20dac8445b    Book a free discovery coaching call here: https://calendly.com/stresslessladies/srss
