You're listening to the Heart and Hasle Podcast. We are your hosts Evie McCloud and

Lindsay Roman. Today is a rare raw and ridiculously powerful episode on a topic

that you don't often hear about in the entrepreneurial space, leaving a successful business to go back to the

9 to 5 world. What? Like, mind-moving. Today I sat down with Anna Marie, also known as the Marketing Mermaid, who is a creative and

results-driven marketing strategist with a passion for helping businesses grow.

With over 14 years of experience in the industry, she has a proven track record of developing and executing successful marketing campaigns that drive engagement, increase brand awareness, and generate revenue.

Anna Marie's unique blend of creativity, strategic thinking, and analytical skills allow

her to craft innovative solutions tailored to each client's unique needs.

Clearly this woman is a marketing guru, but today we kind of stepped away from the marketing strategy conversation and went deep for the heart.

Anna Marie shares her journey of building a successful multi six-figure business and then after six years

choosing to step away from it and back into the corporate 9-5 world. She breaks down

why she made that decision what the process of closing her doors and finding a new job

looked like, what she learned along the way, and the fears and emotions that she had to overcome

on the road to this next step.

We cover what her life and job looks like now, misconceptions about the corporate

world that are no longer true, and just in general how pivoting as an entrepreneur does not

equal failure. So if you're feeling a slight nudge that maybe you

should consider stepping away from your business or stepping back into a

corporate job or maybe you are just an entrepreneur or wanting to learn some

tips from Anna Marie on building a successful

business and her journey there and how to create a sustainable business then this

is the episode for you. So grab your favorite beverage and let's cozy up for a powerful conversation on the realities of being an entrepreneur.
