Guest: Christi Chiarulli
Episode Summary
What happens when a woman with 20+ years in corporate sales decides to walk away—without a safety net—and build a business on her own terms?
In this powerful and honest conversation, Christi Chiarulli shares her journey from multi–six-figure corporate leadership to entrepreneurship rooted in flexibility, freedom, and Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR). We dive deep into what it really takes to leave corporate, build sustainable income online, sell without pressure, and create a business that supports motherhood instead of competing with it.
