What happens when your 9–5 is paying the bills, but your ambition is building something bigger?
In this episode of RedBottoms, I’m sitting down with Aisha and Steph, two corporate women who are doing exactly that.
They’re working women, podcast hosts (@best.e.a.s), entrepreneurs, and multi-hyphenates building businesses while still showing up to their day jobs.
And we’re having the conversation so many women are quietly having with themselves:
When does a side hustle become something more?
We talk about why they started, what it’s really like to build a business while working in corporate, and how they protect their ambition without sacrificing their careers.
We get into visibility, confidence, money, and the fear that can keep women playing small.
Because maybe the goal isn’t to leave corporate.
Maybe the goal is to leverage where you are while building what’s next.
If you’ve ever had a business idea, a dream, or a bigger vision for your life but thought, “Now is not the right time…” this conversation is for you.
