In this week's episode of "Vida I Wish I Knew Then," host Jess welcomes special guest Deanna. Jess offered the chance for someone curious about podcasting to join her, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and self-development. Jess is passionate about encouraging amigas to follow their curiosity and embrace self-development, and she believes that life's unexpected paths can lead to incredible opportunities. Deanna's decision to reach out to Jess for this podcast opportunity was courageous, as she didn't know Jess personally. They discuss season 1 episodes, particularly "Imposter Syndrome" and "Challenges of ModernCareers with Jojo." Deanna resonates with these episodes as she's on a non-traditional career path as a virtual assistant serving wellness and education-based entrepreneurs. Despite her success, she's faced imposter syndrome. This episode is a source of inspiration for those pursuing unconventional careers. Tune in to "Vida I Wish I Knew Then" to hear Deanna's inspiring journey and insights on navigating self-doubt while pursuing your passion. Deanna Martin, a former high school teacher turned business owner, made a life-changing decision after years of juggling a demanding job and a growing family. Fueled by her determination, she chose to embark on a new journey despite her family's reservations. Her goal was to establish a business that accommodated her hectic schedule, which included caring for three children and supporting her husband, an entrepreneur. Deanna was determined to prove she could create the life she had always dreamed of. Today, as a virtual assistant serving wellness and education-based entrepreneurs, Deanna's business, Patrona Virtual Solutions, thrives.
