The key message in this episode with Julia Hames is about figuring out what it is you want and then taking the baby steps to get there, because sometimes the path in the middle isn’t always clear.
Julia tells us about her move from living in a big town to rural life in South Wales, and about her career change from working 12-hour shifts to running a B&B alongside her Smallholding and developing Wordpress websites.
She talks about the challenges of running a B&B, particularly during the Covid pandemic, and tells us why she decided to give that up for a more balanced lifestyle and to do a part-time degree.
Julia tells her story with a great positive spirit, which has obviously helped her to get through some really tough times, alongside the accountability network that has supported her in the local community.
By listening to this episode you’ll also find out what it’s like having a Smallholding around self-employment, why she has put her travel dreams on hold, and why you should give something a go if you really want to do it!
Keep going until the end to answer Julia’s question, which might just help you take the next step in your career.
