For Tierra White, working out is not only a way to stay healthy, it’s how she makes a living. She teaches online fitness and nutrition classes in Cincinnati, but said it almost didn’t happened.
“I was all over the place,” said White.
For the last six years, she was trying to run her fitness business, while managing her career in electrical engineering.
“I got burnt out so quickly, and in 2020, I was like, ‘I need a break, because I’m trying to do work, and I’m trying to do this, it’s not working,’” said White.
She gave up her engineering career, took a year off, and recently decided to take on virtual fitness full time.
“Being in corporate America helped me to structure my program, because I’m looking for convenience,” said White.
She’s not the only one making major career moves.
