Take The Leap
Take the Leap is the podcast where we get real about the rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship and life.

Join us your co-hosts, Victoria & Ashlan, as we spill the beans on our own real-life experiences and shine a spotlight on some amazing guests. From the highs of success stories to the lows of epic failures, and hey, we'll even throw in some cringe-worthy, laugh-out-loud embarrassing moments for good measure!
So buckle up and tune in every week for a dose of raw, unfiltered truth about what it's really like to chase your dreams and build a business. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just dipping your toes into the startup world, we've got something for everyone. Even if it's just to make you think, "I'm so glad I didn't do what they did!"

#149: Why Selling Her Business Changed Everything
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Christine Manning is a business and mindset coach who helps founders and leaders navigate the point where pushing harder no longer creates better results. Drawing on over 20 years in marketing leadership, a decade building and exiting her own food business, and extensive training in neuroscience and mindfulness-based coaching, Christine helps clients identify the unconscious patterns keeping them stuck and reconnect with their own intuition and self-trust.
In this conversation, Christine shares why selling her successful food business was actually a bigger leap than starting it, explores the relationship between neuroscience and entrepreneurship, and offers practical insights on overcoming burnout, rebuilding self-trust, and creating a business that supports the life you truly want.
If you've ever felt successful on paper but disconnected from your work, overwhelmed by constant decision-making, or uncertain about your next step, this episode will resonate deeply. Christine offers a refreshing perspective on entrepreneurship, growth, self-awareness, and the importance of questioning the stories we tell ourselves about what success should look like.
