Leaving the Corporate World To Find a Bigger Purpose With Author Renee Bolla

11/21/22 • 34 min

Renee Bolla is a mom, wife, brand consultant and most recently a self-published children’s picture book author. She has always been a curious human with a passion for learning new things and making each day count.
Renee didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a writer. She dreamt of working in the fashion industry. And she did just that. She quickly climbed the corporate ladder working for some of the largest retailers in the country. Renee led merchandising and brand teams for 20 years before trading in her fashion career to follow her new dream of becoming an author.
Before resigning from the corporate world, writing was a hobby that filled her creative soul. And while it started as a hobby, it has evolved in to much more. She is a self-taught writer who is inspired by motherhood. It is the beginning of her writing journey and she is looking forward to sharing her stories with the world.
Renee is a member of the SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) and Julie Hedlund’s 12x12 Picture Book Challenge. Her debut book, Finding Bunny, was self-published in February of this year while her second book, Imagine That, just launched in September.

Special One Year Anniversary Podcast Episode

Hi everyone, and welcome to this SPECIAL ONE YEAR anniversary episode of the Moms Who Create Podcast. So much has happened in the past year. The podcast has reached 6 continents, 34 countries, and has had thousands of downloads. This blows my mind. When I started, I thought, okay, if I even reach, help and encourage one mom somewhere in the world, that will be 100% worth it. So to think of how many moms I’ve potentially and hopefully encouraged gives me goosebumps. I love you all. Thank you for listening and sharing. Thank you for being a part of my life.
I wanted this episode to be special, and what could be more special than to revisit the past year. I’ve stitched together some clips from each interview so you have an overdose of encouragement in this single episode. Just editing this, I was literally crying. I told my husband this is the best thing in the entire world and I can’t believe I get the opportunity to talk to you guys. All of you listening, even if I haven’t spoken to you yet, you have a story to share. And I’m proud of every single one of you.

Please enjoy, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening and supporting the podcast.
