Passion Stories with Free To Flourish
Welcome to the Passion Stories Podcast, a conversational series that features people who have made career transitions into work they feel fulfilled with, or started their own passion business.
We talk about when they decided to make the change, why they do the work they do, what helped them overcome obstacles with the transition, and any tips that they would give to others sitting on the idea of making these big changes.
People from the environmental, social change, health and wellness, and creative industries come on to share their story in hopes to inspire others to go after their own professional dreams.

Passion Stories with Free To Flourish
Founder of Getting By Is Not Enough: Octavia Walker
Octavia talked with us today about the importance of parents with children with disabilities to continue to prioritize going after their own dreams. Octavia helps parents who have kids with disabilities create an action plan so they can start working on their own personal goals.
Octavia mentions how parents often feel overwhelmed with all of the information and resources out there and experience things like decision fatigue. She talks about how parents need to break things down into smaller more manageable steps. Octavia also talks about how that same process of breaking things down into smaller, more doable steps has helped her with her own business goals. As an entrepreneur she continues to choose to take action when she has any fears come up, no matter how big or small that action step is.
Octavia has a free downloadable resource called Get Off The Fence And Make A Decision checklist for parents to help ease their decision fatigue. Grab your copy here: https://decisions.gettingbyisnotenough.com
