How to Know When It's Time to Bet on Yourself with Brittany Bigelow

Brittany Bigelow went from professional dancer chasing Broadway to producing one of the biggest podcasts in the world. Then she walked away from it all to bet on herself.

In this episode, Brittany talks about the messy middle– the space between leaving a stable paycheck and building something of your own. We cover the midnight spiral that led her to seek coaching, why she chose to build something of her own, and what it’s actually looked like building her agency, Bigelow Creative, from the ground up. If you're in a job that looks perfect on paper but can't shake the feeling there's more, this one's for you.

What we talk about:

• Why corporate stability is often an illusion– and why betting on yourself might be the safer bet
• How dance training translated into entrepreneurial discipline
• What it actually takes to lead yourself
• Why you can't build a business alone, and how the right community changes everything
