We're so excited to introduce our guest for this episode, Miranda Malone, owner of Essential Rejuvination Medical Esthetics and founder of Elley's Hope. Her integrity while in corporate and after she left is inspirational and a huge reason why she is perfect to run a non-profit.

Miranda's corporate story is tough, but she has come out on top and is a successful business owner today! She also runs a newer but also successful non-profit and she spent some time with us explaining the best ways to get your non-profit started.

Looking to start a non-profit? Miranda explained the process of getting the 501c3. It's extensive, difficult and expensive, but she did the work and got hers quickly! She did it all without a lawyer and says if she had it to do again, she would have hired someone to help do this for her after some hiccups in the first year. She also talked us through so much other great advice for getting a non-profit set up. You don't want to miss it.

Miranda also gave advice to anyone who wants to help a non-profit. The easiest way she recommended was to share, comment, and like non-profit posts on social media. She also recommends volunteering and asking your company to sponsor events.

If you are looking for a non-profit that you are passionate about helping, we hope you will consider donating your time or money to Elley's Hope.

This episode was cathartic for us! We dug all the way into the feelings we had leaving corporate. The identity crisis was wild. Who am I without the job that was such a huge part of my life? The imposter syndrome, the major change in lifestyle/social life and routines, and the chaotic, hot mess of starting something new are so real for a lot of people.

We hope that everyone who may be struggling post-corporate knows that it's hard for everyone. It's not a crisis, it's a process and you're not alone.

Welcome to our 13th episode, with special guest Alana Lerch. We love her story about how and why she left corporate, and what she did next.

Her experience after leaving her job was incredible. She spent 8 months finding herself, her passions, and what she wanted to do next. It isn’t something everyone can afford to do, but it was so inspiring to hear how she figured it all out.

We dig in with Alana about burnout, of course, and also talked a length about making changes and finding your passion outside your work.

Something that Alana explains to us is how to find what you’re good at and how to dump off the things you don’t enjoy doing. Delegation is key! She recommends a book called StrengthsFinder. Here is the link if you want to order this book - https://a.co/d/64fzLfT

We love this conversation about only doing things you are good at AND that you like to do, so you enjoy work and life.

Another thing that Alana taught us is the steps to find yourself outside of work and how to strategically find joy. Profound!! We also learned that finding an accountability partner can help you figure this out together.
