How to Get Your Partner On Board with Your Big Career Move | Ask Amy x The Keri Croft Show
Manage episode 479589704 series 3434567
Amy Nelson isn’t just an attorney and founder of The Riveter—she’s a force of nature. For years, she’s been in the ring with Amazon and the DOJ—and she’s winning. Oh, and did we mention she’s doing all this while raising four young daughters? Now, she’s bringing that same fire to our new monthly call-in show, Ask Amy. She’ll be answering your biggest, boldest questions about pivoting in business—no fluff, no BS, just straight talk for women ready to shake things up.
In this episode, Amy gets real about what it actually takes to make a major career leap. What if your partner isn’t supportive? How do we communicate BIG family financial decisions to our kids? From looping her husband into the business plan to bringing in her mom as a third parent, Amy breaks down you can turn chaos into collaboration.
She torches the myth of “work-life balance” (spoiler: it’s BS), and offers tools to stay grounded, flexible, and focused—even when everything feels like too much.
And if you’re still waiting for a mentor to magically appear? Stop. Because sharing what you know to the world is how real mentorship and leadership begins.
This episode is for anyone ready to stop waiting for the perfect moment—and start building with what (and who) you’ve got.
DM the show with your questions for Amy Nelson. Now hit play and let's get to work.
