Episode 3.10 | A Desire to Change Her Life
Carly Adams
Carly Adams was chatting with her husband during work one day about the next trip they wanted to take. Did they want to go to Europe or embark on a cross country road trip? One joked that they could quit their jobs and go on both trips, but as the days went on, the idea of quitting became a more serious discussion.
In this episode of Prickly and Blooming, Carly talks to host Jessie Browning about how quitting her job to travel set her on a new career and life path. She discusses how she started her business, Tidy Revival, and the obstacles she had to overcome with herself to pursue it.
