Ami Watkin and Laena McCarthy are the founders of The Integrated Hustle. Ami is a recovering corporate attorney and a career and business coach, and Laena is an entrepreneur and business coach. Together they’re The Integrated Hustle.

They lead workshops and offer individualized ideation and coaching sessions to help you articulate your business plan, create a plan of action, and bring it to life.
There is real power in defining your own path, and that is exactly what Ami and Laena are doing. In this week’s episode, Ami and Laena share their journeys and how they got to where they are today. Ami’s reflections on getting lost in Corporate America and finding herself again through the gift of time, and discovering what she really loved will encourage you to make space in your life too. Ami has found her way back to herself by learning to be brave, and her words on the power of connection, mentorship, and supporting others along their journeys will inspire you to do the same.
Laena’s journey starting Anarchy in a Jar, and her desire to help others bring their dreams to fruition, will inspire you to take action on your own dreams. Her passion to create connection and community around shared passions will remind you of the power of coming together to build businesses that allow us all to live our best lives. Through helping others explore their path and take action on their goals, Laena has been able to clarify her own journey too. She’s learned how to listen, ask uncomfortable questions, and be brave, all while helping other women do the same.
“We all have the ability and power to create a life that we love, we simply have to be brave enough to demand it. I have learned how to be brave and I want to empower other women to do the same.”
“We’re providing a solution to a real vital problem, helping women find balance and financial freedom through career changes and simultaneously helping ourselves find meaning and empowerment and connection in our own lives.”
