Grown Up Gigs René Brookbank, Owner of Beach Beauty Bar and Founder of Love Recovery - When I Grow Up Yay!  René Brookbank  is my guest for Episode 24 of Grown Up Gigs! Michelle Ward Creative Career Coach WhenIGrowUpCoach.com Rene Brookbank Owner Founder BeachBeautyBar.com LoveandRecovery.com Have you ever been embarrassed by your creative, entrepreneurial, and/or superficial career dreams? René  Brookbank has. She started her career as an insurance adjuster, which led to being responsible for $120m in revenue leading the sales team for that company.  That led her to legal marketing, where she secretly went to beauty school at night. She struggled not only with wanting to be part of this shallow beauty business, but also being seen as less than by and not as successful as her highly educated colleagues. Thankfully, she realized that the spa she wanted to open was actually about connecting both to other women, and to the soul. It gave her the courage and confidence to open Beach Beauty Bar as a one-room spa down the road from where she lives in Huntington Beach, California. And wouldnt you know it, but Rene realized that When you say No to what  your heart doesnt want to do, youre saying YES to what your heart does() and the doors open up. Such a smartie, that one.
