Manage episode 480861092 series 3457003
In our 14th episode, we sit down with Sara Corkum, whose inspiring journey took her from finance director to dance studio owner.
Sara explains that after years climbing the corporate ladder within several senior finance roles, everything changed for her in the middle of the night, while rocking her sleepless toddler when a seemingly outlandish idea sparked: Why not start a dance studio? What began as an idea born of passion and necessity has turned into a thriving business with hundreds of students.
We delve into Sara's impressive juggling act, where she tells us how she was able to balance full-time work, single parenthood, while turning her dream of launching a dance studio into reality. She opens up about how her corporate experiences enriched her entrepreneurial outlook and recounts how her dance studio came together to unite her community in healing following a recent traumatic event.
Sara’s story is a testament to trusting your gut, leaning into your community for support, and staying true to your passion—even when the odds seem stacked against you. Whether you’re a parent, an entrepreneur, or someone waiting for that “middle-of-the-night” spark of inspiration, there will be something in this episode for you.
