Notes

9 February 2022

Hadley, owner and founder of Life Well Worked, loved her job managing a mental health clinic, until it began to take a toll on her own mental health.

She quit to start her own business helping other entrepreneurs take their first steps towards building a career and a life that fits them.

We talk about the tell-tale signs that something is not right in your work life, and how to move past the fear of letting your family down, risking your financial security, and failing in your entrepreneurial efforts.

You can connect with Hadley on TikTok @hadleyannn and on Instagram @lifewellworked.
