In today's episode, I chat with Marina Krivonossova, founder of Retold, a successful B2B content marketing agency. We discuss her unconventional, non-linear path to career success, the power of family support, and how Marina built a business that aligns with her desired lifestyle. Marina shares valuable tips on assessing company culture and managing difficult work situations. Plus, we dive into the importance of clear communication in maintaining wellness at work.

I also share a personal update about my transition from freelancing to a full-time hybrid work model, its challenges, and how I'm settling in and returning to intentionally choosing activities that benefit my health and wellness instead of getting trapped in a shame spiral.

Key Takeaways:

• Follow Your Passion: Marina's transition from a STEM focus to marketing showcases the importance of following your passion, even if it means deviating from traditional paths. It's crucial to align your career with what genuinely excites you.
• Prioritize Wellness: Marina emphasizes creating a sustainable work-life balance. She advises checking company culture and turnover rates on LinkedIn before taking a job and stresses the importance of open communication about work expectations.
