Ditching Corporate: How Eva built her dream business while raising a baby

Lauren Leopold Episode 36

Do you believe that anything is possible?

Well, in this episode I’m joined once again by my fabulous client Eva Murray to show you that it is.

I first spoke to Eva when she was still side hustling. Now 7 months into life as a full-time entrepreneur she’s back to tell us what it’s truly been like.

After 13 years in the corporate tech and data world Eva became a coach, helping data professionals to be the best that they can be. We talk about everything from the love, clarity and challenges becoming a mum brought to what she wanted for herself and her young family.

She also shares incredible insights into the mindset shifts she has had to make, and how our coaching sessions helped that. Eva has become the boss of her own time and loves it.

Her super inspirational story really does show that when you love what you do and you feel so passionately about something, anything is possible.

“I get to set my own hours. I get to decide what I work on, who I talk to.”- Eva
