Creating a career to be proud of after losing both parents with Sarah Connolly
Do you ever feel like you are made for more?
Well, my guest in this episode Sarah Connolly felt exactly the same and that’s precisely why she created her PA business ‘Freedom & Happy’. But it hasn’t been easy.
From the devastating losses of both parents within 18 months of each other that spurred her on to build a career she was proud of, to getting over her huge fear of visibility, worrying about what people would think about her business idea and her ickiness around doing market research.
Throughout her journey, Sarah has never given up, showing true resilience to turn her side hustle into a badass full-time business.
