From high school hallways to healing work
Jun 12, 2025
This week’s episode of This Mother Means Business is a special one. I sat down with someone I went to high school with, Bethany Marshall, and while we were out of touch for years, reconnecting with her has been such a gift.
Bethany is a marketing manager at Adidas Canada by day, a life coach by passion, and a mom navigating it all in real-time. What I loved about this conversation is that it wasn’t the usual “left the 9-5 to start a business” story. Bethany loves her job, and she felt a calling to something more. She’s building her coaching practice while staying in corporate, and doing it all with heart, intention, and a rock-solid schedule.
We talked about:
- How one joyful moment with her son shook her awake (you’ll want tissues)
- Why she gave up too quickly on past dreams—and what changed this time
- The surprising science behind how our thoughts shape our reality
- What “noticing what you’re noticing” can do for your mindset
- How she manages a full-time job, a business, and motherhood (hint: Google Calendar is her BFF)
This one is full of insight and strategy—and proof that there’s no one right way to chase your dreams.
