Should you leave corporate to consult? with Tiffany Rosik

Ep. 86: Want to start consulting? Here’s how one mom made it work (and what she’s learned)

In this episode of All Figured Out, I sat down with Tiffany Rosik—tech executive turned founder of TGR Management Consulting—to hear the story behind her leap into self-employment. We talk about what made her walk away from a high-paying job, how she actually launched her consulting firm (step-by-step), and how she thinks about freedom and flexibility as a working parent.

We also dive into her bold advice for navigating pregnancy at work, plus why she thinks more moms should coach their kids’ sports teams (even if you know nothing about the sport—yep, she said it!).

You’ll learn how to:

• Know if consulting is right for you (and when it’s not)
• Start getting clients even without a perfect pitch
• Build your own “board of directors” when making a major career move
• Frame your career pause (like maternity leave) in a powerful way
