The Climb with Christine

Christine Trumbull

Starting and growing a business is challenging. I should know, I’ve done it and I’ve helped hundreds of other business owners build and grow their businesses too.
But sometimes life gets in the way. As women, we deal with it all. Love, loss, kids, hormones, social economics, fear, self-doubt, weight, self-image, and oh yea, this business I want to create. How do I do that too?

Let’s chat.

In this podcast, I talk with expert guests and have inspiring interviews about everything from starting a business, overcoming obstacles, breaking through barriers, working out, managing staff, kids and so much more. No topic is off-limits. Oh, and shoes. Don’t forget the shoes!

Each week I will have step-by-step business growth strategies with a healthy does of everything else as I explore the challenges, obstacles and ultimately the success of women building businesses.
