Carol Kabaale shares her journey from a corporate job in hospitality to becoming the founder of her own marketing agency focused on ad strategy and email list growth. 

Driven by burnout and a desire for more freedom and presence in her personal life, Carol made a bold leap, quitting her job and pursuing certification in marketing. She now specializes in helping female coaches and podcasters build sustainable businesses beyond social media by creating intentional email marketing systems. 

Carol emphasizes mindset shifts, trusting one's intuition, and building owned audiences rather than relying solely on social platforms.
