    248. Maribel Lara goes from Gary Vee's Chief of Staff to CEO of Beget Love

    What happens when you walk away from a powerful corporate brand… and realize you have to become one yourself? If you've ever felt the pull between security and purpose—this conversation will hit deeper than you expect. In this episode of Life After Corporate, Deb sits down with Maribel Lara, former marketing leader alongside Gary Vaynerchuk turned founder of Beget Love Consulting, to unpack what it really looks like to start over—with zero revenue, no safety net, and a whole new identity to build. They dive into the unfiltered realities of leaving corporate, from confidence gaps and visibility fears to rebuilding your network and learning how to attract clients on your own terms. This isn't theory—it's the emotional, strategic, and deeply human side of entrepreneurship that most people never talk about. So the real question is… are you ready to stop borrowing credibility—and finally build your own?   Connect with Deb Boulanger To Watch the Show, click HERE For Full Notes, Go to LifeAfterCorporate.com/podcast Connect with Deb on LinkedIn, and Instagram,  Read More about Life After Corporate HERE     Connect with Maribel Lara: Instagram:  @latina_swettie INstagram: @begetloveconsulting LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/maribellara Substack:  Love In Marketing | Substack    More Episodes To Enjoy!

    247. Why High Performers Feel Lost After Leaving Corporate

    What happens when the thing that used to define your success is suddenly gone? In this episode of Life After Corporate, leadership coach Mineela Chand talks about what a lot of high-achieving women go through after leaving corporate and trying to build something for themselves. We get into what it feels like when the structure, title, and outside validation disappear, and why that transition can be harder than people expect. Mineela also shares how corporate life shapes your sense of identity, why self-trust becomes so important in this season, and what it looks like to rebuild confidence without relying on the old version of success. If you've ever felt unsure of your value or overwhelmed trying to start over, this one will probably resonate. Because sometimes the hardest part isn't starting something new — it's figuring out who you are without the old role.   Connect with Deb Boulanger To Watch the Show, click HERE For Full Notes, Go to LifeAfterCorporate.com/podcast Connect with Deb on LinkedIn, and Instagram,  Read More about Life After Corporate HERE     Connect with Mineela Chand: Website:  www.mineelachand.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mineelachand/   For the Journal:  https://www.mineelachand.com/offers/zZeUtmaN/checkout    **Be sure to use the Coupon Code DEB2026 to get it for FREE (Valid through April 30, 2026)   **Coming Back Soon- her Podcast:  ADHD- Running In Heels    More Episodes To Enjoy!

    243. Why Entrepreneurs Struggle to Trust Themselves with Alex Pursglove

    What happens when success stops feeling safe and your intuition starts asking for the microphone?  In this episode of Life After Corporate, Deb Boulanger is joined by spiritual guide and transformational coach Alex Pursglove for a grounded and honest conversation about trust, self worth, and identity after corporate life. Alex shares how a life altering health diagnosis forced her to confront misalignment, unworthiness, and inherited beliefs that shaped her choices in work, relationships, and leadership. Together, they unpack why entrepreneurship exposes subconscious conditioning faster than any boardroom ever could, and how learning to trust yourself becomes a daily practice rather than a mindset switch. This episode explores intuition, identity shifts, visibility, pricing, boundaries, and why self trust is the foundation of sustainable success.  You already know what needs to change. The question is whether you are willing to trust yourself enough to act on it.    Connect with Deb Boulanger To Watch the Show, click HERE For Full Notes, Go to LifeAfterCorporate.com/podcast Connect with Deb on LinkedIn, and Instagram,  Read More about Life After Corporate HERE   Join our LAC digital community for women transitioning from Corporate   Connect with Alex Pursglove Website: https://www.alexpursglove.com/ Instagram - @alexpursglove LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-pursglove-1b97348/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alexpursglove Podcast: The Alex Pursglove Show  pod.link/1695919977   More Episodes To Enjoy!

Kepo breaks down what stops people from leaving, what fear really looks like in real time, and why so many polished success stories leave out the hardest parts.  If you have ever felt the pull toward something more but stayed put because it felt safer, how much longer are you willing to ignore that question?    Connect with Deb Boulanger To Watch the Show, click HERE For Full Notes, Go to LifeAfterCorporate.com/podcast Connect with Deb on LinkedIn, and Instagram,  Read More about Life After Corporate HERE     Connect with Kepo Website: https:www.Onikepo.com YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@growwithkepo TikTok:  @growwithkepo Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/growwithkepo/ Grow With Kepo Podcast:  Grow With Kepo | Reset Your Mind - Reclaim Your Life   More Episodes To Enjoy!
