104: Living Beyond the Fear: Embracing Change and Building Authority with Gretchen Vandegrift
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Gretchen Vandegrift, a former Spa Director turned Podcast Guesting Manager. With over 14 years of experience overseeing multi-million dollar operations and seven years running her own successful online coaching business, Gretchen has navigated the challenges of entrepreneurship and motherhood.
Her entrepreneurial journey began when she realized the demands of the corporate grind and motherhood were taking a toll on her well-being. After the birth of her first son, Gretchen took a bold leap into entrepreneurship, launching an online fitness coaching business. Three years later, she welcomed her second son but faced new challenges when COVID-19 disrupted her plans, leading her to focus more on motherhood during a difficult period.
Through struggles with anxiety and depression, Gretchen made the courageous decision to leave her first business behind. She spent a year nurturing herself and providing the stability her family needed. Now back in sunny Arizona, Gretchen balances work while her boys are in school and dedicates her evenings and weekends to family time.
What You’ll Learn:
- The importance of embracing change and prioritizing mental health in entrepreneurship.
- How to build authority and generate leads through strategic podcast guesting.
- Insights on finding balance between motherhood and running a business.
