“It’s actually only Tuesday, but we already have a source of crystals here because we need some good energy and a little sage,” says Leslie as she and Shelby unpack the week’s challenges. They reveal how they use crystals and sage to bring some much-needed balance and positivity into their lives. In today’s episode, they explore their unique career paths. Leslie shares stories from her early entrepreneurial hustle—think lemonade stands with strategically offered pretzels—that led her to a life of varied business ventures instead of the corporate grind. Shelby discusses her diverse experiences, from payroll to project management, driven not by a rigid plan but by seizing opportunities and nurturing connections.
Shelby and Leslie touch on the evolving career landscape, acknowledging the impact of social media and artificial intelligence on job security and career growth. Both stress the necessity of adaptability and openness in navigating today’s job market. The conversation also covers financial wisdom, the importance of saving, and the very important role of financial discussions in relationships.
Quotes “You can’t expect to be on a certain path. It’s going to change and that’s good because you’re growing personally, evolving what’s important to you, and learning more things about yourself. (10:05 | Leslie Beck) “I feel like working corporate jobs really stifles your creativity and your inspiration.” (16:45 | Shelby Anderson) “I think we all, at different points in our life, get to a place where we realize our job isn’t fulfilling us in the ways that we need. And you have to make a decision if you’re willing to give up your golden handcuffs or your parachute of sparkles or whatever it is and take a cut and then your soul can reignite itself. Or if you want to continue day in, day out, hate your job, hate your life, but you have money.” (18:11 | Shelby Anderson) “That sounds so dreary, right? To be like, day in, day out, you're going to hate it. But maybe it's just an agreement with yourself to be like, ‘These are my goals’ and there's nothing wrong with having financial goals. And let me tell you, ‘cause then you get to a certain age where your opportunities to make those financial goals are going away. And so if you can say, I can suck this up for the next 18 to 24 months and suck away X amount into my 401k and then I can live my dream and do more things. (18:47 | Leslie Beck)
