Making a Living at What You Love. Valerie Young had a high-stress job that paid the bills but did not feed her spirit. She wanted to leave her job and work on her own.
Valerie and I talk about the often not talked about details of transitioning to self employment. She is quite candid in this interview about her journey from employment to self-employment and the effects of the economy and how she managed them.
You may recall Valerie here before when we discussed the Impostor Syndrome and her book The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women.
