Ever had life kick you when you're already down? That moment when the universe seems to be laughing at your plans?

I've got a story that's going to light a fire under your soul.

When Life Gives You a Pink Slip Instead of a Baby Shower

Meet Emily Schneider, who got the corporate boot while eight months pregnant. Talk about a gut punch. But here's where it gets good:

"I remember vividly standing in my kitchen one day and being like, would I bet on myself? And I was like, fuck, yeah, I will totally bet on myself."

The Pivot That Changed Everything

Instead of crying into her pregnancy pillow, Emily did something radical. She doubled down on the one thing everyone else thought was dead: PowerPoint. Yes, really.

"When I said, all I do is PowerPoint, I now can offer my services to so many more people. And to be honest, I'm working with executives and business leaders and senior leadership and C suites."

The Money Move You're Not Seeing

Here's the part that'll make you sit up straight: One of Emily's clients dropped $5K on a presentation and walked away with $300K in investment. That's not a typo, sis. That's what happens when you stop playing small.

Your Wake-Up Call

Listen up, because this is for you if:

  • You've been told your skills aren't "valuable enough"

  • You're sitting on a talent everyone else overlooks

  • You're ready to stop asking permission to charge what you're worth

The Power Move That Changes Everything

Emily's secret weapon? It's not just PowerPoint:

"Stay curious and ask a lot of questions. There's no shame in asking or wanting to know why or how or who."

Ready to turn your "weird" talent into your empire? Here's your first step: Stop waiting for permission. Your next chapter starts now.
