Like so many women, I gave up a big career to be a mom but struggled with the loss of identity, purpose and security. Here's my story of why I became an entrepreneur.After graduating with my MBA, I spent 12 years in brand marketing working my way up from Assistant Marketing Manager to Senior Director of Marketing at PepsiCo. I had a team I loved, a $600 million portfolio, and a huge marketing budget - and the stress and long hours that went with a job that size. After having my first baby, I couldn't reconcile spending so much time away from him, so I made the tough decision to step down. Since then, in addition to being a Mom, I've been a part-time marketing consultant working with other big brands like Gatorade, Kraft and McCain Foods, and I became a skincare entrepreneur, starting a business with Rodan + Fields. But I was still searching. I was looking for my passion, not a job, but I wanted that passion to help support our family and I didn't want to give up the flexibility I had grown to love. I was unmoored for a bit until I realized I could combine my love of storytelling with my love of travel into a business I could love - and Show Them the World was born, a full-service travel agency for families who love adventure!
