Episode 115 | Pausing in Business and A New Dawn Artwork

Boss It Podcast

Hi All! All my name is Sophia! The aim of the podcast is to provide tangible advice for women entrepreneurs in areas of business, health and self-help. Each episode will have a few action items that the listener can apply if the episode resonated with them - hence the tag line "Make a plan, take action" . I'll give you my background in a nutshell: I am a registered physiotherapist in Canada but moved into leadership at a local hospital. Then went part-time as a manager at a publicly funded medical clinic, so I could grow my product based startup. This brand new biz landed into Walmart Canada last spring. A lot of ladies have been asking for help with their startup because they saw such fast growth of my product based company (the company name is Also Sophia) and so I thought a podcast would be a great way to reach a larger audience. Hope you enjoy!xoxo Sophia
