On Sarah McDaniel’s Podcast, The Social Capital Expert, I dug back into my career to talk about how others made an impact on my career growth. And, we talked about how today The Pledgettes community is a major part of my personal financial journey.

Each year I look forward to this report. I like to see the year-over-year gains in promotions. I like hearing about the best practices that companies are doing to support women professionals.

I have such great members of my time at USD, from great professors to producing great shows at the Director of Concerts.

We’re excited to announce that we’re an official partner of the Ladies Get Paid Get Money Get Paid 1-day Virtual Conference on October 1st!

This will be a full day of virtual workshops, panels, firesides, small networking groups, access to recruiters, and an Attendee Directory + private Slack channel so you can connect before and after with the anticipated ~3,000 attendees. 

Tune in to hear Jenn Uhen ask the interviewers some money starter questions.  Maia Monell, nav.it Co-Founder, talks about her first job at age 9, Erin Papworth, nav.it Co-Founder shares what she would do if she won the lottery, and we give you a rundown of The Pledgettes x Nav.it‘s first money course: Nav.igating Confident Money Moves, which launches on October 5.

Unlock your potential by taking this journey of self-discovery. With guidance from experts who have overcome multiple challenges, you’ll quickly realize that you can still get back on the path to success.

This was my first time being on a virtual talk show and it was so much fun.

Description:

Catch the full conversation between Allison KT and Jenn Uhen of The Pledgettes on the 9/3/2020 episode of Confidently In Charge!

When I talked with women from Level Up, we couldn’t stop talking, so they made it a two-part podcast!  Here is the second part.

Listen in as I talked money on the Leveled Up Podcast with Megan Johnson, Denaye Austed, and Sarah Flannery.

Description: This week we talk money confidence with Jenn Uhen, the founder of The Pledgettes. The Pledgettes is an organization that focuses on in-depth conversations on money and women.

Thank you Megan Johnson for sharing my story!

Before I get to how my transition to freelance was easier than most, I’ll step up on my soapbox. My first tip to anyone who is considering going freelance (or take any risk in your career) is to build up your Freedom (or FU) Fund. At its baseline, money is choice.  If you have $1, you can: spend it, save it, invest it, or donate it.  You have the choice of how to use your money.  At the next level, money is freedom.  When you have a freedom fund, you can leave a toxic job, relationship, or lifestyle.  You have the freedom to take more financial risks. Okay, onto freelancing!

My first job out of college was my dream job! I worked in the music industry doing artist management and marketing. I thought I would be in this job forever. I thought I would work with my coworkers forever; this mindset maybe my biggest career mistake.

Thank you Claire of Resilience by Design for having me on your IGTV series, Profile of Resilience.
