About

 

Hello, we are Aspiring Co.!

Aspiring Co. is a media company here to remind you to chase your dreams relentlessly and to inspire you when you feel like giving up. We are telling the stories of DreamChasers (women and en-by folx) who are fighting every day to pursue a life of meaning.

We interview DreamChasers who are happy in their careers. We talk through topics on our podcast to share lived experiences with our audience. We also offer coaching for others to walk them through the process from ideation to implementation. Every DreamChaser has a story that deserves to be told!

We share new content on Mondays-- because we all know that is when we need the most motivation ;) 

OH! and we also used to be called Speaking of Everything, so you might see that throughout our site and our social media. 

The inspiration behind Aspiring Co:

Looking back over my life, I was always super interested in content creators and tv shows about them. I feel like lots of 90s television shows were centered around women running magazines or writing (Living Single, Rocket Power, Sex and the City, etc). I loved all of shows and specifically the scenes where they were writing or working in the industry, coming up with layouts, designing things, etc.. I originally went to college thinking I would be pursuing a degree in Chemistry so that I could be a pharmacist. I had it all figured out until I took my first semester of Chemistry my freshman year. It wasn’t good. When I picked my new major in Marketing I had no idea what that looked like as a career. At the time it felt like I had forever to figure that out. When I got to my Senior year at Mercer, I felt lost. For the first time in my life, I didn’t know what was next. I felt like there needed to be a resource for women to hear these kinds of stories, find community, but also actually see women taking risks with their careers and happy. That was the inspiration behind Aspiring Co.
