Jennifer Kok sits down with Brooke Koeninger, founder of Scale with Clarity, to talk about leaving corporate during the Great Resignation, rewriting her identity as a working mom turned entrepreneur, and what it really means to build a business that works for you. They get real about burnout, measuring fulfillment (not just profit), and how small tweaks in your numbers can have a major impact.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re a small business owner who:

• Feels stuck in the cycle of chasing growth
• Left (or dreams of leaving) a corporate job to create more freedom, but now feels overwhelmed
• Wants to understand the role of a fractional CFO and how strategic financial insight can help you Scale. 
• Needs a reminder that success is not just about scaling revenue — it’s about building a business that fits your life
