Twenty 12

Coach Meg from TideShift Coaching

Twenty 12 is a podcast about career pivots, identity, and the quiet pull to build a life you love. The name is a nod to both the year 2012 (bc who isn't craving more nostalgia rn?!) and the age 32: an age when we find ourselves looking backward and forward at the same time. Back to the version of ourselves at 12-years-old: curious, competitive, creative, expressive, unfiltered. Forward to the person we are now becoming: wiser, more self-aware, and less willing to stay on a path that looks good but feels wrong. We explore the question so many of us ask ourselves: “What if this isn't it?

    They Called Her a Flight Risk. She Used It as Fuel | Krysta Huber on Leaving Corporate and Building Two Six-Figure Businesses

    You built the résumé. You followed the practical path. You did everything right — and somewhere in your late 20s, you started to wonder if the career you chose was actually the career you wanted. If this sounds like you, you don't wanna miss this episode. In the first official guest episode of Twenty 12, Coach Meg sits down with her college-friend-turned-business-mentor, Krysta Huber. Krysta is the founder of not one, but two six-fiture businesses: her marketing agency, The Spread, and her online fitness and nutrition company, The Fitness Fix. She is also the host of the No Such Thing podcast. Krysta's story is a near-perfect example of what this show is about: she didn't reinvent herself in her 30s - instead, she returned to herself. In today's episode, you'll hear how a rejection from her previous internship employer rerouted her early career, why being called a "flight risk" in 2020 turned out to be the push she needed to bet on herself, what it really looked like to call off a wedding and quit her job at the same time, and how her definition of success rebuilt itself from a $10K-a-month revenue goal into building and scaling two businesses simultaneously. If you're a woman in your 30s feeling stuck in a career you outgrew, burnt out from trying to "prove" yourself against someone else's definition of success, or if your secretly curious about entrepreneurship and you've been noodling on the idea of starting your own thing - this one will hit. Press play. Then come find me on LinkedIn and tell me what landed. More About our Guest, Krysta Huber Krysta Huber is the founder of The Spread, a founder-led marketing agency, and The Fitness Fix, an online nutrition and fitness coaching business. She's also the host of the No Such Thing podcast, and a certified content QUEEN who has spent nearly a decade building her personal brand online. Krysta didn't get to where she is today without prototyping and building her way forward. She made several career pivots along the way before realizing that every chapter of her career had been preparing her for the same thing all along: storytelling, at scale. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why being called a "flight risk" might actually be the most useful career feedback you'll ever getHow to recognize when your "forever path" is actually a chapter, not the whole bookWhat it really looks (and feels) like to quit a job, call off a wedding, and move home mid-pandemic — and how to build your way outThe "10-year overnight success" truth and why building a personal brand on your corporate salary is the opportunity most new entrepreneurs don't seizeWhy you have to "work silly" before you can work smart — How to Connect with Krysta: Personal Instagram: @thekrystahuberThe Spread (marketing agency) on Instagram: @thespreadmktgThe Spread Edit on Substack: search "Krysta Huber" on SubstackNo Such Thing Podcast: Listen on Spotify How to Connect with Coach Meg: LinkedIn: Meaghan LatellaInstagram: @tideshift_coachingBook a free intro call: Schedule with TideShift Coaching If you're enjoying Twenty 12, the best way to support the show is to share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it (and/or leave a quick rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    Welcome (back) to Twenty 12

    Twenty 12 is a podcast about career pivots, identity, nostalgia, reconnecting with your younger self, and the quiet pull to build a life that feels more like your own. The name is a nod to both 2012 and the age 32, aka a moment when many people find themselves looking backward and forward at the same time. Back to the version of themselves they were at 12: curious, passionate, competitive, creative, expressive, unfiltered. Forward to the people they are becoming in their 30s: wiser, more self-aware, more capable, and less willing to stay on a path that looks good but feels wrong. This podcast is for 30-somethings who identify as being high-performers, achievers, "doers," who have checked the boxes, built the résumé, climbed the ladder, earned the title, or followed the “right” path — only to realize they feel stuck, bored, burnt out, disillusioned, or disconnected from themselves. Some of our episodes will feature conversations with guests who have made brave professional moves: starting businesses, changing industries, leaving corporate roles, redefining success, building creative careers, or simply choosing a path that made more sense for who they were becoming. I'll be talking about the messy middle of career change: fear, money, identity, confidence, comparison, family expectations, ambition, reinvention, and the question so many of us quietly carry: “What if this isn’t it?” Twenty 12 is not about blowing up your life overnight. It is about listening to the clues, reconnecting with what has always mattered, and learning how to make brave, thoughtful moves toward a career and life that feel more honest. And don't worry: we're gunna have a whole lotta fun, too :) Because who isn't craving more nostalgia these days? Now more than ever, I find myself yearning back to simpler times when the world felt calmer and life didn't feel like it was in hyperdrive. We'll be referencing back to our favorite movies, songs, cultural moments of 2012, and reflecting on how the world was really starting to shift towards "immediacy" culture: with the formations of companies like Lyft, Tinder, Instacart, Peloton and others that made accessing the things we want easier than ever. Welcome (back) to Twenty 12 - we're glad you're here.
