I'm your host, Vanessa Juppie, and today I'm excited for you to meet Kelly Ling, the founder of Stork and Spark.
Kelly has had an interesting career journey that spanned 15 years, everything from financial analysis to innovation and learning and development.
It's really cool to hear her journey and also how she picked out the different opportunities along the way.

Listen closely and stick around until the end because Kelly has recorded a video to bring us up to speed on what she's doing now.
Follow along and listen to these stories and check out my course in case you're interested in carving your own path.
She's the founder of Stork and Spark, where she helps ambitious, career-driven parents navigate fertility, pregnancy, parental leave, and more as they return to work, and she helps them with opportunities for growth.
She has 15 years in tech, healthcare, and professional services, and she's gone now out on her own, and so we're gonna get to hear all about her story and what led her to be where she is.
