This episode is for the women who feel like they just can’t catch a damn break! You’re doing everything right (or so you think) and out of nowhere, you’re thrown a curveball. And this curveball always comes at the absolute WORST moment. (Ugh, giving me running into your ex while wearing yesterday’s sweats vibes.😒)
So, what do you do? You keep going. There’s not always a clear answer on how to keep going or what’s the “next right thing” (cue Frozen 2 Soundtrack) to do at that moment. But we - always - find a way.
This week, Melissa Heffner tells us exactly how she found her way amidst the chaos. Melissa is a wife, a mother, and a change-maker inside a traditional institution. As the Program Director at the Georgia Institute of Technology, she spends the workday creating programs centered around entrepreneurship and the Lean Startup methodology. Melissa is a true FIA woman! (Hmmm, there is a cape laying around here somewhere.)
On this rainy day of recording, Melissa sits down with KLG to discuss her turbulent pregnancy journey, her experience with therapy, and how when she felt like saying FIA (the table flipping kind - oh, you know the one) she got some good advice to first “work on herself.”
