Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 124 with Michelle Hoglan

Curating Career Life Stories: How did I get here?

Join me for the career reflections of Michelle Hoglan, visionary behind The Boob Report. The oldest of four, her independence and strong family commitments guide her journey. Working several part-time jobs in high school to earn money for the things she wants and then working full time jobs to support herself while attending college courses when she can afford them.

After several successful office management roles which include marketing responsibilities, she and her husband start their own marketing firm. These skills and her natural curiosity help her navigate and survive a breast cancer diagnosis. At the urging of her husband, a Facebook page that starts as a means to update friends and family about her journey, ultimately becomes The Boob Report. An online website report for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her goal is to make women feel empowered with knowledge and the courage to get through their journey with as much grace and ease as possible.

What’s served Michelle best: her ability to try and stay positive, acknowledging when things are crappy, but knowing that it’s going to get better if she just keeps moving forward, and that she can figure out what she can change to move forward.

Her words of wisdom are a quote from Brené Brown: “You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.” Michelle tries to own her story every day!
