Do You Have Corporate PTSD with Tara Paton

In this episode, your host welcomes business bestie Tara Paton - a marketing strategy queen who works with beauty and wellness entrepreneurs to increase revenue, build customer traffic, and expand their product line.

Launching a business in the middle of the pandemic, Tara reveals the trauma and emotions of breaking away from corporate America. Listen in as Kimberly and Tara discuss how to recover from corporate PTSD, shed the corporate mindset, and learn to do what feels good rather than what we've been told to do.

KEY POINTS:

  • Why did Tara Paton leave the corporate space?
  • What is corporate PTSD?
  • How the pandemic spurred a new age of entrepreneurs
  • The most challenging part of transitioning into entrepreneurship
  • Tips to shed the corporate mindset

QUOTABLES:

“When you're in corporate, you're going, going, going, and you're nonstop, and everything is getting from point A to B as fast as you possibly can. You're not really checking in with you as a person.”

“A lot of the traumas that are put upon us or that we experience are put upon us because of the rigidity of the structure of what is corporate America. And so you go into entrepreneurship, and you think that you have to do the same things. And you actually don't.”

Kimberly’s content is billed as being for women and people of color. As a white male, I feel that her content is universally applicable. As a person that benefited from privilege I appreciate having access to this point of view. I feel that being able to get an understanding of these topics from her perspective helps me better approach these topics with my employees.I hope she keeps producing new episodes and publishing books.

This podcast came right on time! My fiancé attended a conference & met Kimberly. He immediately told me about her book and her story & I was hooked. I really feel like listening to this podcast and reading her book will truly propel me and many into the next career move. Often times I find podcast that speak solely to quitting your job, but what about us that really enjoy what we do and just want to elevate? Kimberly did THAT! & I’m appreciative.This isn’t a podcast that you listen to in the background, GRAB YOUR PEN & PAPER! 🙌🏾

Loving this podcast. The information Kimberly is sharing is invaluable! A must listen if you feel stuck, “lost”, or misguided in your career life. These are great takeaways that can even be applied outside of your work life to be honest. Looking forward to more.

I love the messages and positive energy of this podcast. I want to use the tips in my daily life. I listened to “Mixtape Confidence” episode and it was very insightful on how personal life and work are a balance that we need to focus on. Also , i love the reference to the movie “Girls Trip”. The actress Tiffany Haddish has a very inspiring story . Hopefully one day she will be a guest on the podcast
