Episode #12 with Cassie Mendoza-Jones: pivoting from studying comms to naturopathy, kinesiology and business alignment
Welcome to episode #12 of the Career Pivot Podcast, hosted by Bec Sands. This episode is available on Spotify, Stitcher, iTunes and Google Podcasts, and if you enjoy it, I would love it if you could please subscribe and leave me a review.
In today’s podcast episode, I interview Cassie Mendoza-Jones, bestselling author, kinesiologist, business alignment coach, naturopath, writer and speaker. Cassie has pivoted her career multiple times, from studying PR and communications at university all the way through to the incredible work she does in the world currently. She is the bestselling author of You Are Enough, It’s All Good, and Aligned and Unstoppable, and creator of the Love What You Create Workshop.
Cassie works with women, entrepreneurs, healers, coaches and creatives who are driven, devoted and honouring their dreams, and who want to become more powerfully aligned to their bigger vision, clear away perfectionism, procrastination and overwhelm, and create their own version of a beautiful and aligned business and life.
