Sara LeHoullier has always been a busy-bee. With a BA in English Literature and a Master's in Sustainable Development, she jumped from teaching English as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar to managing donor-funded projects with a large NGO, then dove into consulting with Microsoft before striking out on her own. She currently designs Squarespace websites and writes copy for passionate entrepreneurs and small businesses. Sarah is also the co-founder of Shop the Change, a web app designed to help consumers make value-based shopping decisions and support the brands working to make the world a better place.   Listen in as Sarah shares how her passion for volunteering and love of doing many things led her to multiple side-hustles and what it was like to hold on to a career that no longer served her.   Today, we dig into the importance of enjoying your job and integrating it with who you are, how your job should be aligned with your values, how she used her personality to market naturally, how it’s a good idea to get paid for the things that you are really good at, and why it’s a bad idea to trade for services. Sara also shares with us her practical tips for setting up organizational systems, and building a community around you.   You can learn more about Sara at the Busy Bee https://www.thebusybee.me/ and Shop the Change http://www.Shopthechange.com. You can find her on social media: Instagram @saralehoullier and @shopthechange.com

S2 Ep. 10 - Sara LeHoullier, Alignment with Values

Sara LeHoullier has always been a busy-bee. With a BA in English Literature and a Master's in Sustainable Development, she jumped from teaching English as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar to managing donor-funded projects with a large NGO, then dove into consulting with Microsoft before striking out on her own. She currently designs Squarespace websites and writes copy for passionate entrepreneurs and small businesses — she’s also the co-founder of Shop the Change, a web app designed to help consumers make value-based shopping decisions and support the brands working to make the world a better place. Her most challenging (and rewarding) position yet is being a stepmom. She’s deeply interested in social change, sustainable business, and creating space for conversations that improve the way we work and live on this planet. This was such a fun interview. You will hear Sara’s magnetic energy from the very beginning of the interview. I loved hearing Sara’s story and I really appreciate how she opened up about some of the less talked about aspects of stepmotherhood. I know you’ll learn some valuable lessons from Sara’s journey.Listen in to hear Sara share: Her unexpected journey into motherhood The challenges of building an identity as a stepmom How she worked through the isolation of being a new mother figure and stepmom How her entrepreneurial journey paralleled her motherhood journey Where she is now – attracting all the right people at the right time Links Mentioned:  Busybee: thebusybee.me   Busybee on Facebook   Shop the Change: shopthechange.com   Shop the Change on Facebook  Hotline: The Boys Town Hotline  Book:  The Soul of an Octopus  Thank you to our sponsors: Songfinch: Create a personalized song for a special person or occasion using the Songfinch platform of over 300 professional musicians.
