S3 Ep 11: Navigating A Brick-And-Mortar Business and Online Coaching - While Mothering Like a Boss with Andrea Nichols

Andrea didn’t have the most conventional entry into the business world. But after getting her degree in Fine Arts with a minor in entrepreneurship, she’s been able to look at business as another act of creation – one that’s allowed her to remake her career and business as needed as she builds her life and business around the demands of motherhood.

In this episode, Andrea shares her educational history and how that influenced her business decisions later. She shares the big risk she took jumping into business at the same time as she entered motherhood, and how becoming a mother has informed the way she runs her business. She also details her decision to move from solely brick-and-mortar to an online community.
