If you need a hit of encouragement, inspiration, and real talk from a parent who is juggling running a business, homeschooling her two young children, and supporting a partner who is working full time from home, this is the episode for you! ⁠
Teresa Ruiz Decker, owner of <a href="https://dreamcatchconsulting.com/">Dream Catch Consulting</a>, takes us on a journey—from making the decision to start a business when she was laid off 3 years ago, to hard lessons she’s learned along the way, important advice she wants you to know if you’re considering this type of work, how she juggles it all during a global pandemic, and more! ⁠
She is a wealth of knowledge to anyone interested in starting their own consulting business. We were absolutely blown away at the amount of wisdom she dropped in less than an hour. So whether or not you’re interested in this specific industry, we would highly recommend listening to this one!⁠⁠

Becoming a parent is a beautiful experience, but for those of us who want or need to continue to build our careers, the juggle can be a real challenge. Here at The Kenza Collective, we are passionate about educating and empowering parents to make the leap from captive employee to full time Independent Professional (aka freelancer, consultant, etc). When you work for yourself, you are free to build a life and a living that supports your family's needs. And in turn, this enables us to raise better humans, cultivate stronger relationships, and prioritize our physical &amp; mental health. Join CoFounders Beth and Tiffany as they teach you what it takes to work for yourself so that you can find freedom in your schedule, your energy, and who you choose to work with. We break down complex financial and tax related topics, teach you how to land (and keep) clients, write proposals, manage projects, and protect your energy - all while juggling your family responsibilities. We also explore the various types of independent career paths out there through talking to parents just like you who've made the leap. Whether you're a parent who is curious about what it takes to go out on your own, or you’ve been doing it for years, this podcast will help you navigate the tricky (but oh so rewarding!) waters of working for ourselves while raising a family.
