Welcome to the very first episode of Beyond The CEO Norm!!

Nadine is going head first into the exact purpose of this podcast and that’s talking about the realities of running a business in your 30s and not following the normal path that most people take.

This is an open conversation where she’s going to be discussing taboo topics that aren’t spoken about online as business owners- what freedom ACTUALLY means to you, the loneliness that can come with travelling, what it’s like to date as a business owner, the pressure to have kids and settle down, and the shame you might feel having to move home.

Nadine always says it like it is and in her first episode, she’s opening up about what it really means to build a business that supports the life you actually want.

Whether you’re in the middle of a pivot, craving a change in your business, or feeling tired of doing what you’re “supposed” to do, this conversation will affirm that you’re on the right path or challenge you to think about where you want to go.
