Episode Synopsis

Liliya Reshytelo isn't afraid of work.  After moving from Ukraine to Canada at 15 without speaking English,  she settled and succeeded in the way she thought she was supposed to: by earning her degree and joining the corporate world.  But for her, the shoe never quite fit.  Liliya finally leapt - several times, actually - and is now starting her own eco-friendly, sustainable kids clothing company - Tiny Advocates - that also educates kids about their clothes.  Liliya is launching her brand as we speak!  We'll track her leap in the coming months and, over this and next week, we'll hear how she: First got the guts to leave her corporate job without a backupRealized why it wasn't right for her in the first place  Thought through the financesLeapt into two careers she enjoyed but was grounded (literally, as she had become a flight attendant at the time) by COVID and had to rethink what was next - all while pregnant, by the way. (And next week we'll hear all about that *next*:  how she got the idea to start her children's clothing brand; worked with a mindset coach to grow her dreams (with tips!); learned to 'put herself out there' in business as an introvert; and broke into an industry she had no background in, and made a name for herself.) Learn more about Liliya Reshetylo and Tiny Advocates at https://linktr.ee/tinyadvocates, and check out her adorable, ethically made and sourced children's clothing on Instagram at @tiny_advocates, Facebook at Tiny Advocates, and on Linkedin.***Have guest ideas?
