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.”

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

This episode was like having a conversation with friends. Friends who have been in the trenches with you and understand corporate life.I am embarking on a new work from home morning routine and liked how Kimberly and Tara talked about having a plan but going with the flow. Some days I need coffee before mindfulness… it’s my routine I can do what feels right!Thanks ladies!

Kimberly literally shares everything I only WISH I knew before working my way up the corporate ladder and transitioning into a job that I’d love (and one that paid me WELL). She touches on everything from pivoting in my career to salary negotiations - and what I appreciate most is that she speaks from a place of experience! She has RECEIPTS. I also love that the information is delivered in bite sized episodes - short enough for a quick listen, but long enough to make a lasting impact and providing actionable tips to implement. This podcast has my highest recommendation - especially for women of color looking to break through limiting beliefs, secure their dream position, and finally to get paid their worth.
