Ep. 92: Figuring out how to build a career around your life (instead of the other way around).
In this warm and relatable episode, Andrea sits down with Sarah Chapman-Funston—art history major turned corporate marketer turned self-employed consultant. Now the founder of SCF Marketing, Sarah opens up about how she carved her own path forward as a multipassionate parent.
From studying ancient architecture to building brand strategies for small businesses, Sarah's career has been anything but linear—and that's exactly what makes it work. This is a conversation for anyone who feels like they’re capable of more but aren’t sure what that looks like yet.
What We Cover:
– How an art history degree taught Sarah to think like a marketer
– The slow-burn decision to leave corporate after mat leave
– Real talk on being a two-consultant household
– Why consulting isn’t the right path for everyone (and that’s okay)
