#056 In today’s episode, I’m talking with Tasha Cochran, co-founder of One Big Happy Life. Tasha is a perfect example of someone who has gone against the grain at just about every turn from joining the marine corp just out of high school, to buying a house as a single mom, to graduating from Yale with a law degree she used to protect minorities and women from housing and loan discrimination. Tasha shares how her career journey unfolded in waves, how she made difficult decisions, and how that ultimately led her to growing a business she loves that works on her terms.
(07:23) How Tasha was able to ditch the narrative that being pregnant at 19 meant her life was “over”
(12:32) How she made a spending plan to give her the freedom to explore her next career
(18:54) Money or Passion: How Tasha’s motivations drove her decision-making
