I am your host, Cassy Joy Garcia. And today is another fantastic reverse interview. Today we are joined by Emily. She is a wife and mother, and has been working in the financial industry for almost 10 years. She enjoys running and all things health and wellness. Welcome to the show, Emily! <br> <br> Emily: Thank you! Thank you for having me.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Yeah, girl! Thank you for coming on. I’m excited to chat today. And I get this impression; it’s like I’m talking to Snow White, because of the birds chirping in the background {laughs}.<br> <br> Emily: Yes, for all the listeners, I’m hiding from my toddler. And the porch seemed like a better avenue than my laundry room.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: I love it. It’s perfect. Get you some fresh air and some birds chirping. That’s so cute. Well, welcome to the show, I’m really excited to jump into our discussion today. But do you want to kick us off with either a little background or a couple of questions? <br> <br> Emily: Absolutely. So I’m excited to be on here today. Basically, I guess what brought me here was I have reached out to you. I’ve been, like you said, in the finance industry for almost a decade. I work for a really great company. But my passions have always lied in health and fitness and nutrition. And so I feel like I’m kind of at this point in my life that I would be interested in changing careers. But the hurdle to pass is, I guess, the transition phase of I have a family. I have a house. And there’s also financial responsibilities that I can’t just avoid.<br> <br> How do you think a transition could be smooth in swapping careers? And entering the nutrition world? <br> <br> Cassy Joy: This is such a great question. And it’s one that I find myself talking about often with some of my friends that I consider peers and colleagues in this industry. Because it seems like such a mystery. Having gone through it myself.<br> <br>
