Answering Your Q’s! Starting A Business, Career Pivots, SAHM or Work and Being Underpaid (WWYBD?!)

Ep 254: In this episode, Allison and Ceara answer listener submitted questions. You can submit questions any time via our website, and then we pull questions to fit a specific theme.In the catch up segment, we talk about Allison getting a special visitor… McKenna (Ceara’s sister)! McKenna is married to a Dutch man whose parents are from the exact same city (Haarlem) that Allison lives in. Such a small world. Allison is also eager for her sister and mom to arrive in The Netherlands for Thanksgiving and for her baby’s birth. We also share some of our upcoming Christmas plans. Allison is excited about high tea with alpacas. Ceara is taking a quick trip to NYC in early December to see the rockettes with her grandma, then all her family will be getting together for the actual holiday. After our catch up, we answer and talk through all of the questions below.TAKEAWAYS:It’s culturally appropriate to know some Dutch if you are a resident. Business ownership and freelancing are emotional self-development journeys.Working for yourself can offer flexibility, but there’s certainly other challenges. You shouldn’t stay at a job just because you feel guilty quitting. Being a SAHM mom could be incredibly rewarding, and temporary. QUESTIONS ASKED:How long are you planning to stay in Haarlem Allison? And why do you have to learn Dutch? Everyone knows English! What advice do you have for someone wanting to start a business or even independently free lance as a career?When did you know it was time to pivot & change your business?I’m overworked and underpaid but I’ve only been at the company for a year. Should I put in my two weeks notice? I’m a new mom and went back to work but I’m struggling being away from my daughter. I know my husband wishes I would quit but I’ve always worked since I was 14.
