31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: So Anna is ten years younger than me. Wee and

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: I have agent, but she's in her mid twenties, which

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: means you know what I am. Anyway, I used to baby,

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: said Anna when she was just over the toll, twelve

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: year old peanut in my pocket. And now, well a

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: decade later, it was the pandemic, right, I was obviously struggling.

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: I had a baby, a newborn, and I was trying

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: to like balance that with working. Couldn't have childcare because

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: everything seemed too dangerous, so I was doing I was

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: like breastfeeding, having the baby at home.

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: So I was living back home and I was in Georgia,

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: and I was just having like the worst mental everything.

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,320

00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: very like, I was just like a mess. But then

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: Nandy just called me out of the blue, No, yahay,

159
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: I was like, also, while you were here, let's let's

160
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: have some personal finance conversations. Let's you know, really untangle

161
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: you from that uncle.

162
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

163
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Anna's yeah, you talk a little bit about that.

164
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: Where you were in terms of like you were twenty yeah,

165
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: you were like twenty three. But also you were like

166
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: with your relationship with your father, not feeling financially free.

167
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, Like I just grew up of he hands

168
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: me money and then I deal with it. So whenever

169
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: I had like my financial struggles, he would always have

170
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: like a string attached to whatever dollar is behind it.

171
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: So I was just very exhausted and tire trying to

172
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: chase what he's giving me. And then I have to

173
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: this mental load that I had to pay him for

174
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: the price of whatever amount of dollars. And I remember

175
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: when I moved to you, he cut me off financially

176
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: and this owed me and all this extra stuff. So

177
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: my mental health was like down was down the street.

178
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: It was terrible.

179
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: And can you be specific when you say you had

180
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: to pay him for the money, like what were the

181
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: strings attached?

182
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: It would just be his controlling ways when it comes

183
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: to finances, like if I maybe had an attitude, he

184
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: was like, well I do X y Z for you,

185
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: and you're going to do this to me after I

186
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: gave you this amount of money for school, or just

187
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 2: like just being his daughter, just asking for money here

188
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: and there. It's always like an issue or problem. So

189
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: that's whenever I just I wanted to stop asking him

190
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: for money completely. So that's why I was working those

191
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: those numerous jobs just to get myself together. And then

192
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: you know, my mental health is just taking a toll

193
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: for you know, all the finances that had to deal

194
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 2: with that with him and myself because you know, I'm

195
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: a little price sy. I noticed he was spoiled for

196
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: a price.

197
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, and also it was to the point where

198
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: he it was like, I'll pay for school, but you

199
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: got to study what I think is a good degree.

200
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: Yes, right, yeah, yeah, totally, So that level of control. Yeah,

201
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: and then the thing about me, I just I don't

202
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: do well with control like that, Like I I'll just

203
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 2: stop everything if I don't. I just don't feel like

204
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: you should live your life for your parents, and I

205
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: learned that the hard way.

206
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: Well you were, and I mean, like it was so

207
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: heartbreaking to see. I mean how tough it was for you.

208
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: What do you think are the biggest changes that have

209
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: happened since you moved in with me? For those who

210
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: are watching on YouTube, you might be able to note

211
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: the most significant change. We're not in the same place.

212
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: Why I was able to moz out. I have a

213
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: lovely roommate. She's great, But it was just so nice

214
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,120

00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: huge turnout from my mental health about you know, how

225
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: I felt about myself boundaries. That was a huge thing

226
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: that I had to develop. I didn't have any like,

227
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: especially with my parents. Whatever they said when I didn't care,

228
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: like they didn't care if I didn't so comfortable. I

229
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: didn't care if I didn't so comfortable. I just did

230
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: what I was told. So whenever I was this song,

231
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, if I'm really disowned, I'm

Speaker 2: gonna do what I what I please, and well in

233
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: a respectful way. It took me a long devastated. I

234
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: was heartbroken. Yeah, and then you know therapy.

235
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: You know what, but listen for those who are But

236
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: did he actually it was a no.

237
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: It lasted three I think it lasted three months. And

238
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: then he said, how are you doing? I was like,

239
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: I was, so.

240
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, so try to survive without this cute face,

241
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 1: this incredible.

242
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: Daughter. You got keen, you can't never get rid of me.

243
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: I got. I got off of everything.

244
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: He didn't need a car anymore. He owned the car you.

245
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: As soon as I moved here, he sold my car

246
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: and I was like, that's fine, I don't need it.

247
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: And then he was more upset that I didn't care.

248
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, that's fine.

249
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: And he had it was that was what he did.

250
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: A tantrum he.

251
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: Did, and then I think he hit you up and

252
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: was very very angry towards you about it.

253
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: So let's move into the career and finance side. What

254
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: kind of what kind of like strides have you made?

255
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: Because you came here in no full time job, no

256
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: job period, not the knives thing, and no money of

257
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: your own, So like, when did you start taking no strides?

258
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: What are the big accomplishments you've made?

259
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: I think at that time, whenever I was hoping, I was,

260
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: you know, your lovely son, my godson. I was really

261
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: ready to just start working again to make money for myself,

262
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: to move out, to say to you know, spend things

263
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: on myself, to give back to you guys with whatever

264
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: is needed, you know. And then I found a job

265
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: doing executive assisting work for this unknown fashion and jewelry company.

266
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: That was the worst.

267
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: Touch on that later, but you needed a like a

268
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: non part time, like a retail part you wanted, you wanted.

269
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: Like I wanted full time. I wanted to hit the

270
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,480

Speaker 2: Interviews were happening, but they weren't good enough or just

315
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: it wasn't the right fit.

316
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: And then my current scam kind of like LinkedIn messages, what.

317
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: Do people do that as like people are like strog.

318
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Going all the way to Manhattan to find out it

319
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: was like what was the thing where they sent you

320
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: home with a big textbook, like a real estate textbook.

321
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: They wanted you to.

322
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: I honestly wanted to forget that happened, and for you

323
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: to bring that up is very triggering.

324
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but you went through it, and honestly

325
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: a month doesn't see that. But I'm interested. You said

326
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: it was a bad idea to quit. Yes, it was

327
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: at the time. I'm not going to lie I was.

328
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: I was a little worried. I'm like, yes you were,

329
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: but I was trying to let you do your own thing,

330
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And honestly, I don't think

331
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: it was a mistake because a couple months later you

332
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: got the job in the SPA, right, and you just

333
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: found that on LinkedIn? Is that right or indeed or something?

334
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm in one bed and it was just it looks

335
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: sketchy applying for it, but I was like, you know what, everything.

336
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: Like, yes, it hadn't opened yet. It was a news.

337
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: It was a break. It was in the it was

338
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: being built as I was applying. So whenever I got

339
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: the job, interview OV and I was like, oh, can

340
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: I see the spot. It was like construction walls. There

341
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: was wood exposed, and they said, yeah, this is it.

342
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: I said, I see the potential. And I think after

343
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: the interview went well, and then you told me to

344
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: write a letter to you know, show my appreciation, and

345
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: at first forget I remember now.

346
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: I remember I dropped you off to give them the

347
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: thank you note.

348
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah you did, and I think it was like it

349
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: was like a nice little card. It was yellow. It

350
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,560

351
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: see you know. Yeah. And then I got the call

352
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: that I got the job, and I was so ecstatic.

353
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: When I tell you, I was struggling financially. I was.

354
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: I was living off my savings. Like I think one

355
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: time I didn't have enough for two pays if I

356
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: didn't want to go into my I mean I.

357
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Think I started to ask you to pay rent because

358
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: I was frin to get you a little ready for

359
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: the real world. I was going to do that thing

360
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: where you just put the money aside and give it

361
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: back to you at the end of yeah, but that's

362
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: when you quit, and I was like, oh, so the

363
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: renting she really.

364
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 2: Got to stop. But no, I felt like such a

365
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: loser because I was like, why would I do that

366
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: with that like a plan B. And I was just

367
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: like I was so scared and so like eager to know,

368
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 2: like what's next, what's the next move? Like what can

369
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: you do? And then you know, I got the I

370
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: got the call, I got the job, and I was like,

371
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: all right, I can relax a little bit more. And

372
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: then well.

373
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna we're gonna take a quick break. But before

374
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: we do, I want to just kind of like round

375
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: out that phase because I feel like for you, it

376
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: was about listen, your dad chose your major right health

377
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: care and admin, which which isn't a bad major. I

378
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: think it's obviously a hot field. It's a it's on

379
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: the come up, and you got to you still kept up,

380
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: like with your studies virtually while you were working full time.

381
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you knew you didn't want

382
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: to like work in a hospital, like just like at

383
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: a desk, you know what I mean. But you did

384
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: have this interest in beauty and care, which I feel

385
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: like is something that you know, you go to a

386
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: controlling dad and you're like, hey, I want to work

387
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: in the spa beauty industry and he's like, what is that.

388
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: It's woman's stuff. It can't be good, it can't be lucrative.

389
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: Police but it made it was like the whenever I'm

390
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: helping someone and coaching them through like a pivot or

391
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how do I make a career

392
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: that I love out of a couple out of like

393
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: the job history that I have, which I don't love.

394
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: And it's like not exactly like there's not like a

395
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: lateral like a connection, you know, but for you, there's

Speaker 1: more of like a coach. What do you want next?

425
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: I think, no, I want to move up in the

426
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: SPA space. I realize I like to do the operations

427
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: side of it. You know, I'm great speaking to people,

428
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: but you know, I have more fun, but I find

429
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: more enjoyment and doing like the operation side. So it's

430
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: like the ordering getting things done. There's conflict with schedule,

431
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 2: there's conflict with the guests. Baby, I'm very good at that,

432
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: very strategic managing people. To me, I really do find

433
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: enjoying it with that. And I feel like the people

434
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: that I do work with, they feel confident or comfortable

435
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: enough with me to tell their issues and we can

436
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 2: address it, you know, as me to be.

437
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: So together. One of the things we did do that

438
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: My first thing was when you came you actually, that's

439
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: the reason you're here is because you came over what

440
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: was it last week, week before it was last week,

441
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, let's just run your day off.

442
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: Let's get together, let's sit down and talk about what's next.

443
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: And the first thing you wanted to do was your resume, right,

444
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, to how to hold up before

445
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: we do the resume. It's really important to know what

446
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: you want so you can tailor your resume, you know,

447
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: do a job. And I feel like we spent that

448
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: excuse me that afternoon on LinkedIn stalking people in the

449
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: SPA industry and trying to figure out what are some

450
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: job titles that sound juicy, even if they are like

451
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: a few levels beyond what you could be doing now,

452
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: just like how I have like a finish line or

453
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: have a you know, something that you can work toward.

454
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: I mean I learned a lot about the types of

455
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: jobs like director of operations, SPA manager, SPA director director.

456
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: I think those are like the main three that I found.

457
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: But there's like a lot of spot owners obviously.

458
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear back? I think you sent some

459
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: DMS like cold to some people.

460
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. I think if you are not message me,

461
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: but they followed me back or what do they call it?

462
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: Connected with?

463
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: You were connected? Connected? LinkedIn? Connected? That makes sense. I'm

464
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: getting to you. I had to.

465
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: I had to twist your arm to get a photo

466
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: on there.

467
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: I because I hate that photo.

468
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: It's such a gorgeous photo. Y'all, go connect with Anna

469
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: and Victoria Woodruff on LinkedIn if you're in the SPA industry,

470
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: met Spot and listening, Gone and there. She only has

471
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: twenty two connections, y'all. She's lonely.

472
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: Why you called me out like that?

473
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: Because you're so pretty in this picture. I can't stand it.

474
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: I took it. I told you I had two years

475
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 1: to take a better one. I took this headshot back

476
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. I said, you had two three

477
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: years to pick a better headshot, and you don't have one.

478
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: So you know what you're gonna do uploads with the

479
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: image upload and when you get a better one, you

480
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: can fix it. But done is better than perfect.

481
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 2: Okay, So why perfect?

482
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: And if people are listening on like pictures, but I

483
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: thought pictures were bad, especially if you're a woman of color,

484
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: people can, like, you know, have bias against you. But

485
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: I do believe in having a photo on LinkedIn as

486
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: a hiring manager. I just feel like it's a well rounded

487
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: image and let's just be let's keep it one hundred. Anna,

488
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: you're going to be in the Beauty and MEDSPA space show.

489
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: You're cute, like, I don't care how like in politically

490
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: unpolitically corrected is too or politically incorrected is to talk

491
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: about the impact of like your look and your presentation.

492
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: It really matters. And I think that people who were

493
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: reviewing LinkedIn profiles, I'm not saying put it in your resume.

494
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: Not all about that but at least for LinkedIn, like

495
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: show that you know you are well presented, that you

496
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: present yourself well because I do believe in your industry,

497
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: it's a bit of that image is probably going to matter.

498
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was even one hundred Is that how

499
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: you feel it?

500
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: It's correct, you're correct.

501
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: You don't have to just say I'm correct.

502
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: No, I mean it's one hundred percent true. Like if

503
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: you're working or you are coming into a spa and

504
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: you want to look a certain way, when don't you

505
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: want this staff to look, you know, put together. They

506
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: look like they take care of themselves. That's just what

507
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: it is.

508
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: Can you be doing your crystals and your boobs and

509
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: where you be putting those crystals, the crevices and the

510
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: belly button. It used to live here just be packages

511
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: of rocks coming you.

512
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 2: Guys would just call it rocks. It's like they're crystals.

513
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: It's another envelope of rocks for you in listen, show

514
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: it in your braw.

515
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: It was part of my healing journey. Yeah, and I

516
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: still have them.

517
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: I hope you charge charging in the moonlight.

518
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: They're charging.

519
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: Did water one time she drank moonwater. It's a full moon.

520
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: Put some water on the deck.

521
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, and it was delicious. It was

522
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: very refreshing the next day.

523
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: So on your LinkedIn, okay, we got you a photo,

524
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: you have your experience on there. You started to connect

525
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: with people, which is great. You need to be connected.

526
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: And this is my advice for anyone listening to Even

527
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: if you and right now Anna, you only know the

528
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: people who work where you work, right but the industry

529
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: is so big, I'm like, how can you get connected

530
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: to more people in your space? So the work that

531
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: we did that day, it may feel like not that

532
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: big of a deal. But even if someone sees your

533
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 1: name on LinkedIn, even if they don't connect with you,

534
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: even if they well maybe they don't, but even if

535
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: they don't respond to your DM, but they do connect

536
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: to you or follow you whatever, you're going to show

537
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: up in their feed. And I've learned you're going to

538
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: show up in their feed a lot for two weeks

539
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: after they connect with you. So once you start adding

540
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: people like start, I would say sharing something on LinkedIn.

541
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be like here are my thoughts

542
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: on the med's boss base, but share an article about

543
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: the industry. Share an article that you find interesting or

544
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: follow like thought leaders in your space. There's got to

545
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: be like some I know there's so many like influencers,

546
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: but also there's probably some great names in the business

547
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: of the MEDSPA industry that you could be following so

548
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: that you can really like, I want you to be nerdy.

549
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: I want you to be like in on the med'spo space.

550
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: I want you to be passionate about it. That is

551
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: what's gonna give you that extra something special when you

552
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: go into an interview. If you show up and you're

553
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: just like, here's my experience, I'm very happy to me. Yeah,

554
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: everyone's got a great resume. This job market, Mmmm, it's tough,

555
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: and it's tough in the sense that it's for me,

556
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: it's normal, Like this is how a job market I

557
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: feel like should be. It was Craig Krai back in

558
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Everyone was hiring right, and you could

559
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: get a job like that. But now it's more like

560
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: corrected in the sense that there are good jobs out there,

561
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: but there's also a lot of good candidates and.

562
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: It's a competition is insane exactly. On LinkedIn, I think

563
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: for certain jobs I saw there was like three hundred

564
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: and thirty two app like applications for that one job,

565
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: and I was just like, it's just brutal. Yeah, it's

566
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 2: like the dating pool.

567
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: And this is where you start to differentiate yourself with strategy.

568
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: So one thing is when you see hundreds of people

569
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: have applied, you can add your resume to the mix.

570
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: But if you're not like a shoe in, like a

571
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: perfect resume, perfect candidate, like for the role when you

572
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: really want it, I feel like less is more when

573
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: it comes to applying right now, like really center in

574
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: or home in on jobs that you want, jobs that

575
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: are cool, not just any old job, and that may

576
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: mean waiting longer to find the job. You're not so senior,

577
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: like you're you know your entry level right now and

578
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: the next step up for you were hoping to get

579
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: you on a path to like maybe assistant SPA manager

580
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: or at a startup SPA, maybe a maybe straight to

581
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: SPA manager or whatever, but somewhere on the back the

582
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: back of office, back office whatever, back back office, the

583
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: op side. But those types of roles are fewer and

584
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: further between, and because they're juicier, right, they probably pay more.

585
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: You want a salary and all that, Like they're going

586
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: to have more competition. So that's why I'm like last

587
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: week when you were here, I was asking, I was

588
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: impressed because you knew some names of other spas in

589
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: the industry and that. But I want more. I think

590
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: you should really like get more into the industry. What

591
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: could that look like? What are some ways you could

592
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: start investing more and learning about the men's bas space

593
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: and getting in networking opportunities so you can meet other

594
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: people in that space.

595
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 2: There's a lot of SPA conventions. There's a lot of

596
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: in New York. Yeah, there's so big. There's plenty plenty

597
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: in the city. Are you going to go to I

598
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: forgot the name of it. It's like I think it's French.

599
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: But the biologic they have how do you say that?

600
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: It's French? So it's like Biologic. You're here, but I

601
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: call it br BR Hey, I took.

602
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: I did, that's the fancy brand. I'd gotten the free

603
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: samples when I come to your spa.

604
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: Yes, so that's a brand. They have a lot of

605
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,719
Speaker 2: conventions or just trainings and then we so they have

606
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: trainings like that and then they come to the spa.

607
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: But like, there's a there's a lot in the city

608
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: there's so many The beauty field or space in New

609
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: York City alone is like it's huge. So just going

610
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: there and meeting people, I think that's the next step

611
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: that I want to take because I want to take

612
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: this seriously, like I found my niche and something that

613
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: I really enjoy love. I talk about it all the time,

614
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: you know, because I'm passionate about beauty.

615
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: All right. So but here's one thing that I do

616
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: on my coaching calls. I will sit here and watch

617
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: you until you do a thing that maybe is a

618
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: little thing that you know you haven't done yet, but

619
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: you just need someone to be an accountability partner. I

620
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: want you to. I want to search for like an

621
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: event that you could sign up for right now, and

622
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I know you're on your phone, you have

623
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: your laptop next to you. No, okay, So I just

624
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: literally googled MEDSPA events New York and there's a whole list.

625
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: March third, there's the International Esthetics, Cosmetics and SPA Conference

626
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: in New York and there's not the only one. There's

627
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 1: like an open house, there's a blueprint for success US

628
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: and Aesthetics. I think some of these will probably target

629
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: people who want to work as an esthetician, but you

630
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: want to focus on where are some opportunities to be

631
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: in a room with the ops people, people who are

632
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: like on the business side of SPA. I really feel

633
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: like that's going to help set you apart because I

634
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: think in like the you know, the cosmetics and men's

635
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: spas kind of space, I think people think first of

636
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: the worker bees who are doing the services and all that.

637
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: That's fine, but there's not much room for growth there

638
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: unless you're really spectacular at your job. You bring in

639
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: your own clientele, you know, you become valuable that way

640
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: in your you know, in your in your space. You

641
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: need to sort of get you have more of a

642
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, career trajectory, you know, but you need people

643
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: who can I think mentor you show you the ropes,

644
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, challenge you get you into a job where

645
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: it feels like a big shoes for you to fill,

646
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: and that's how you start to learn and grow.

647
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to save that event.

648
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: No, we're not going to save it. You're in a

649
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: register and you're going to ask your job to pay

650
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: for it. Did you know that?

651
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: No? I did not.

652
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm a little bossy, but yeah, so this is a

653
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: type of event that I feel like your job should

654
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: pay for. Your job is a big brand, they got money.

655
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: I think you should make your case like, hey, I

656
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: really want to, like, you know, get some new ideas

657
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: for the SPA. I want to get some ideas for

658
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, and just show you can show them the website.

659
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: You can make a little you know, write an email

660
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: and just make a case for why they should cover

661
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: your attendance and.

662
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: Pitch it.

663
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: I want to see how much it is first recruiting

664
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: one oh one, how to attract, engage, and retain a

665
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: great team. Ooh, I love this workshop. Not because you're

666
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna don't think of I don't think you should think

667
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: of doing workshops, just based on what you want out

668
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: of your career. Do at least on who's going to be.

669

Speaker 1: My sessions are usually forty five minutes and this is

681
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: way over an hour already. So you need to fire

682
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: in the belly. You're gonna be an admin. You need

683
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,959

685
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: Don't just think about you think about like who could

Speaker 1: five panel discover the path to empowered Leadership business management.

688
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: That could be great for meeting people who are in

689
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: leadership positions and also, like you know, start putting yourself

690
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: in the space where you want to become a leader.

691
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: Right. Maximizing performance with your current SPA software. Ooh, the

692
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,920

00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: Which one were you saying?

697
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: That's the one that you mentioned three fifteen to four thirty.

698
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: Maximizing performance with your SPA software. M Yeah, that's perfect

699
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: because you need to be nerdy about shit that people

700
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: don't want to be nerdy about. That's what's going to

701
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: separate you. I'm really excited. This is the kind of

702
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: way that I love to end a coaching session, even

703
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: if it is a little painful for me to sit

704
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: here breathing while you breathe and type things into the

705
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: internet and sign up for a thing. Because I mean,

706
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: it sounds simple. But were you planning to sign up

707
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: for this conference today?

708
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 2: No?

709
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: Very, Like it's like you've taken a big step and

710
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: these are like I'm so I think we got so

711
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: lucky with the timing because this is in a few months.

712
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: This is exactly what you need. Like it's almost even

713
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: more important than I mean, you're going to finish that

714
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: healthcare degree, healthcare admin degree, this is the year.

715
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 2: It's just it's just costly, that's all I'll say.

716
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: But you're paying your own way one, yes, and you're doing.

717
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Proud of you mm hm. But this is the kind

718
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: of education that it's going to specialize you. Like you're

719
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: in like a generic healthcare admin program, right, Yeah, this

720
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: is like the continuing education where you're going to find

721
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: your niche.

722
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if I'm a niche and like, yeah, yeah,

723
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 2: we use it well, take advantage of it. And I

724
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: was like thinking, I'm gonna definitely put this one on LinkedIn.

725
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so excited for you? Are you excited? Why

726
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: am I the only one? Like? Bless?

727
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just a tabit hungry. This will say,

728
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: go so am I I sent?

729
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: I sent you home with chili in a box of

730
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: corn bread, so I didn't even have time to eat it.

731
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: Yet I'm glad because you probably would have been belching

732
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: on the show. I would have the whole time that

733
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: chili got a kick. Okay, but when you come over,

734
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: do I not feed you? You feed me?

735
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: And somehow like I always have something packed on my

736
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: way out.

737
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming on. Brown Ambition was.

738
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: A pleasure, babes.

739
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I wasn't sure what we were going to accomplish,

740
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: but I do feel like we took the first step

741
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: last week in terms of like getting you more comfortable

742
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: with LinkedIn and connecting with folks. And now I'm like, Okay,

743
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: you're doing the thing that is so you're doing the

744
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: thing that so many especially women know that they probably

745
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: should be doing but aren't doing it, and that is

746
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: why they're staying stuck. And it's actually shoving yourself in

747
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: the rooms like buying your way and getting an invite whatever.

748
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: In the rooms where opportunity can happen. You need to create.

749
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: There's so much of the job search in your career.

750
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: It's as much a strategy as it is putting yourself

751
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: in a position where exciting opportunities can happen to you.

752
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Like it's hard to describe, but

753
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: there's an element of I don't know what the exact

754
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: thing is going to be, but if I put myself

755
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: in this room, things can happen.

756
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: Things you have to make it happen.

757
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: To make it happier, exactly, you got to put yourself

758
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 1: in that space, and its sure ain't going to happen

759
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: if you just stay at the front desk at the

760
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: spa you're at now and never branch out and dip

761
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: a toe into the wider industry.

762
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: I agree.

763
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm very proud. I'm so proud of you,

764
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: so proud of you.

765
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 2: Thank you.

766
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: A year since moving out, you're about to be a

767
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: year in your new apartment. You got your own bills paid,

768
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: you got savings. How that credit score looking?

769
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: It's good.

770
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, I'm super happy for you on your journey.

771
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: You're doing just so amazing. Do you feel proud of yourself? Like,

772
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: do you feel it like I have done a lot?

773
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 2: Or do you judge helf harshly? I judge myself harshly,

774
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: Like I see the difference of how I was like

775
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: two years ago. But like at this point, I was like,

776
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,000
