day to go to work is a struggle. I often feel really miserable and tired you name it, thinking about it or going to it into work. I don't make as much as I would like, and I'm eager for more fulfilling, higher paying, and more creative job. Okay, the subject that she teach is often underppreciated and looked over by this age demographic. I have a nutrition business which doesn't make me as much money as I would like, definitely not enough to live on the moment in the moment,

and I am a health and wellness educator. I've always dreamed of working a corporate wellness job or working in my nutrition business full time with other wellness initiatives. I want to change people's lives and help them become healthier and happier versions of themselves. Can you please give me some advice on transitioning out of the teaching profession and advice for pursuing corporate wellness, a corporate wellness job and

pursuing her own business as a full time job. She needs to make this change for her own health and wellness. Thank you so much. Please keep up the amazing work a jay, she said, job she alvered these babies I'm assuming she's like in like the school system, school system soon I.

show you that, really, like burnout is real in any career. So, I mean, the first tip I have is this is one of the reasons why I say don't wait for your FU moment to make a career change, because the most difficult thing when you are in such a state of desperation, not desperation like I'll take anything, but desperation of like get me out of here, is that you sort of sometimes if you make decisions with that kind of energy behind it, you can often make knee jerk decisions,

impulsive decisions that actually are not best for the long term. Also, you kind of carry that energy into your next thing. And there's been multiple times where I've been on a coaching call with a client and I've been like, you're asking me for the best advice because you're interviewing for this job, or you're trying to find a job, or you're you know, in the final round of interviews and they have an offer. But what is screaming in front of me is someone who needs a break to rejuvenate

a little bit. So I just that came to mind because I'm like, when you're so stressed and so burnt out and then you try to bring that energy into a corporate job interview, especially in a field where it's competitive, you may have a bunch of other candidates, like that energy can work against you the other person in an interview.

new fresh energy to it. And unless you can really fix or start working on the mindset and start working on your energy around this and getting excited about it again, I think you will struggle to find a really great job in corporate And one of the things you can do to well, you have the most you have the best answer, but ask yourself, like what why did I get into this in the first place, and what is it about it that lights me up? And how can

you get back to doing that? So it could be that the actual work itself you love, but the environment that you're in is awful. So can you do some you know, even your coaching practice, like just focusing on the coaching practice, maybe not focusing on it in a way that like I have to be making money.

and sparkle about this work. And either that's maybe taking a break or it's just by doing some work just for the pure love of it and really, yeah, focusing on why this is making you feel so great and reigniting that passion or excitement that you have for the field.

a good environment shift for you. But if you're also trying to launch a business at the same time, how it's going to make it even more difficult to focus on getting that corporate opportunity. And I'm just saying like it's a lot all at once. And this is one of those things where like when you're so desperate to like get out of something, you're like, I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna do that, and then it just

becomes all muddled. Does that make sense? So like I would ask you, how, what is what does your next role like, what are the what are the needs that you have? You know, what are the goals that you have right now? And how can your next move take you in one of those goals directions? And just start there? And it may be that a corporate job is what you need, whether it's for benefits or for schedule, just financially, just to have a corporate job for a little bit

longer while you continue focusing on your business. That may be the right path. And I would just say focus on that for now.

starting your business. Whatever that looks like, you know, making sure that you are securing the stability component of your life, especially if you're going to start a business. And so you know, to Mandy's point, I wouldn't do both at

the same time. You know, if it's like I have to get out of here, I'm drying, and then it's like okay, then find a job, get settled, then start a business or I can deal if I can get my business up and running well, then stay there where you are a little longer and you know, in between, in the meantime between time, then you start your business. So getting clear like so many women when they start businesses, they're not clear on like how will I make money?

I know for the first four years I was like, I don't know, just be good, that's not how it works. I was like, Ea, when I'm that base ativity, Yeah, but what are you what are you actually in the business of? So getting clear like you know, I mean, you know you don't have much space in the IG message, but getting clear on if you are going to start a business, a nutritional business, what does that actually mean?

Are you building nutritional plans for people? Are you going to start like a group a community where people can pay to like you know, are you going to be like working with If it was me, I wouldn't do this in conjunction with looking for a new job, to Manny's point, But you can have this running in the back of your head. So for me, if I have to work on something that I must do for security, I always reserve at least twenty to thirty percent to work on my big goal, my real goal at the

back of my head. So I'll give you seventy percent safety and security. But thirty percent is for the goal I really want. So in the back of my head, I'd be thinking to myself, huh, can I start connecting with like personal trainers online that I can maybe create the nutritional component for them, you know, because most personal trainers they don't also have nutritional I mean, I'm assuming you have, like you like maybe you went to school

for nutrition, your license or whatever. So I would start to reach out to people because then they can increase their services and you can get paid, you know, and so like I would be like thinking of, like, what what ways one of how can I monetize the nutrition business, and how can I do so where I don't have to work so hard. There are trainers out there. They they seem great. You're like, oh, they already have one hundred thousand followers. They seem to be doing great. Let

me connect with them. I don't have to look for customers. They have the customer. I can say, girl, I do this, this and this, we could charge an extra hundred bucks a month for this, and then we could do a seventy thirty fifty to fifty sixty forty split these This is the kind of thinking that I'd be thinking on that side. But I first and foremost secure, like mine, I make enough money to pay my bills. If your current job does that, and you don't mind staying a

little longer while growing your business. Great, If you hate it so much so that it's dragging you down, then find another job and then start to build the business. But these are the types of questions I want you be asking yourself in the background. That's what I'd be thinking, you know, Like I wouldn't just dip off and slide off. I'm like, no, no, no, let's make a plan for how am I going to make money? Because so many women don't have a hell do I money plan in place?

you are the things that you're selling, you know. So I mean, I'm just conservative in the in the approach of like, going all in on a business right now may not be the best bet for you, because you sound really like you want something different you're really struggling, like your mental health, you're your person, your physical health is in jeopardy. And you want a change in a business, is only going to be more stressed. Yeah, and yes, let's just keep it one hundred. And also like you

also have high expectations for yourself. You talk about you're not making as much as you'd like to. You want something more fulfilling, higher paying, more creative. And when it's your own business, like it's just it can be isolating, it can be lonely. It's like Tiffany said, so brilliantly. I don't think i'd heard that before, but it's so

true when you are financially stressed. Yes, creativity is really hard because it's hard to be free and open and big ideas and I can do anything, you know, So for you it could be about okay, like zoom back out a little bit and let's just say I don't have to do everything right now. Yes, she says she's only been doing this for three years plus two in education. So if you've only been working I'm just going to assume professionally for five years, you're like win in your

mid twenties, mid to late twenties, it's okay. You know, what you've learned is the type of job you have now is not for you. But opportunities are totally out there, you know. I mean, I know I've worked with clients who are educators in hospital systems and they'll be in charge of the diabetes education program and they work with patients who are struggling with diabetes or work with people

who have high blood pressure and educate them. And gosh, I mean even I was on the phone earlier today my dad's he had a big, big meeting about potentially getting some kind of organ transplant and and uh that the first like hour was an educational video you know, with with nutritional experts and the need for nutrition education so huge right now that I think there's opportunities that are just everywhere, you know, if you're if you look and you can think a little bit outside the box.

But again, you need to find your excitement about it, yes, and figure out what you do love about it and focus on that, because that is what's going to be able to like give you the the magnetic energy to attract you know, the next right role for yourself in corporate. You're not going to go in there and be like, Oh,

I didn't know that I was burnt out. No one was like the audience wasn't engaged, you know, like, come on, you're gonna want to bring a much more positive energy into your next your next role.

credit score. My credit scores are not great. They're in the high five hundreds, but almost six hundred and neither is my credit report. Do you ladies think they will reject me because of this? I am the top performer of the group of contractors that I was hired with, and I have a really good track record since beginning at the company. Since being at the company.

five years older than you. You tried it, try again. We're sisters.

They felt like having poor credit would put you in position to maybe make decisions that weren't aligned with what the type of person they were looking for. And let's just say that you don't get this job. The good thing is credit is fixable, you know what I mean. And so, like to Mandy's point, I would let it play out and then for whatever reason they come back and they say, oh, your credit, then you can say, well, would I be able to be considered again in another

six months? And then you work your behind off for six months to get your credit together. The good thing is you're very young. NCI twenty seven is a go. I'm just the baby right, very young, and so you know, so many of us made our mistakes. The Lord knows I have, and so you can use the next six to eight months to get your credit together and be considered again. What it sounds like is that one you know, you are already someone that they're considering. You're a top producer,

you know, someone that they're considering for a job. So that's going to happen again. And the truth of the matter is sometimes this is the thing before the thing, that's what I call it, meaning that let's just say worst case here, or you don't get this job. Maybe you weren't supposed to get this job, this job was supposed to keep. But the gear to fixing this credit so that because a bigger job is coming that absolutely

needs that credit. So this is the thing to get you ready for the actual thing, if that makes sense. In these you know so either way, let this be a I need to get my credit together. If you're not sure how where there's so many free credit tools. I have one, the Literature Challenge Credit Edition. It's free, go to LRC credit dot com. We say that's the leaving up because job in a while.

like collections and even a bankruptcy. Have you ever foiled bankruptcy?

you slip a twenty into your pocket? You know there's something you know like something like that, but also too, it's just making.

contractor with them? So continue to do that, ask them if you can revisit in six eight months, you know, to and fix your credit. In the meantime, here's some things you can do to fix your credit. One, you have to make on time payments. If you haven't automated your like your your payments, do so. I like to have a separate bank account just for bills, you know, So that way, all of my payments can come out

of that bill's account. So I have two checking accounts, one for like where I swipe my debit card and spending and things like that, and then one just for bills. And I don't attach a debit card. You can literally detach a debit card from that bill's account, so you can't accidentally swipe away your bill money. Two, paying off a debt in full every month is really helpful. And so I like to get a credit card that already has a zero balance. So if you don't have one,

you can totally open one up. Because your credit is not for girls. You can look for a secured credit card, you know to do this with. So secured credit card is a credit card with training wheels. And you could get secure credit card from the lowest of the low and like three hundred dollars typically a wards of six hundred dollars. Is that that's not what you pay for it, but that's the money that you give the bank. The bank puts it in a savings account or money and

market account for you and says that's your limit. So when you have your card, you know you can't spend over six hundred dollars because they feel comfortable and having because normally when you swipe a card, you're borrowing from the bank. But if they have your security deposit, they know worst case scenario, if niece doesn't pay us back, we'll just use the money from her bank account. Another

great tool. Another great tool to raise your credit score, because they're going to look to see your credit score is also based upon what kind of debt how have you properly managed. So one is called revolving debt, which is credit cards, and one is called installment loans, which is like your mortgage or car no student loans. And the way one tool you can use for that is this company called Self like me myself and I'm and I like self because the way Self work or it's

called a credit builder loan. You don't have to use Self if you have a credit union. Oftentimes they have credit builder loans as well.

it to you. Instead, they put that five hundred dollars in a in a savings account for you, and every month you pay them back like you really borrow the money. And at the end of the year they give you back your money because you never they never actually gave it to you, you know, didn't you borrow it, but you didn't receive it. They give you back the money

that you paid plus the interest. And so now it looks like, oh my gosh, like Niice, you know, went a whole full year of paying down and offer and paying down and off a loan. And so that is one way to raise your credit on the installment loan side, and one raise. One waid to raise your credit on the revolving debt side is to get one of those, like I said, a secured credit card and then pay it off every month in full. Put one small bill on it that secure credit card is to stay home.

You're gonna put your gym membership, your Netflix membership, your Spotify membership, just one thing that's under twenty five dollars ideally under fifty the most, right, just because I want you to use it as little as possible. And then you're gonna have your online where you're gonna have your bill's account, like I told you, your separate checking account. Pay that credit card off in full every single month. So the card is going to be charged every month.

It's going to be paid off every month, and it's going to look like, Wow, not only is niece paying off her credit card every month that's revolving. That looks so good. Niece is also paying down an installment loan every month. That looks really good. You do those two things together, niece, six to eight months, your credit card is going to look cuter than you and you know, hopefully you'll be able to apply for that job or something else.

credit report, I still would. I don't because I don't think that having like a five hundred dollars credit builder loan is going to be like what are you doing? You know what I mean? Like I you know, I I would do at least one of them. I don't think, you know, I mean they're looking now, so you know, I don't think that that's going to be a big deal. Yeah. So, and I don't think getting a secured credit card for three hundred dollars is going to be like the make

or break. It's if you were buying a home. I'd be a girl, don't touch anything, but you're not.

like shit about it. I just love that she came to us with like this because like, as your cool aunts, I feel like we can hear you, and like we don't like, obviously you know you did wrong and all that, but we're still going to like, here's a seat at the table, let's pour your glass of wine, let's talk about what we can do moving forward.

you for being that girl. Okay, so we want you to be that girl with that job.
