The Classy Career Girl Podcast
Learn how to become happy, successful and balanced with class, skill and style.

Hosted by Anna Runyan, mom of 3 and founder and CEO of Classy Career Girl, one of Forbes most influential career sites.

On this podcast, you’ll learn how Anna quit her stressful day job and transitioned into work she loved (with a baby on her lap) and how you can do it too! Listen in and create your action plan! Let’s begin today’s class with Classy Career Girl!
