Season 5 / Episode #3 - Fractional, Not Fractured: How We Help You Move Forward
When small teams lose capacity, everything can feel like it’s unraveling — payroll gets delayed, grant deadlines sneak up, and leadership starts juggling too many roles. That’s where fractional services come in.
In this episode of How to Keep Your Day Job with Morning Star, Lisa and Staci unpack what “fractional” really means — and why it’s not about doing less, but doing what matters most. From finance and communications to admin, grant writing, and executive support, the Morning Star team steps in where organizations need it most to create stability, structure, and space to breathe.
Drawing from decades of hands-on experience, they share real-world examples of how they’ve lived the work — setting up QuickBooks, writing bylaws, navigating boards, and keeping projects afloat — all while building systems that last.
Because fractional doesn’t mean fractured. It means focused. It means continuity, progress, and moving forward — no matter how stretched your team may feel.
Listen if you want to learn:
- What fractional services look like in real organizations
- How to bridge leadership or staffing gaps without losing momentum
- Why cost-recovery consulting keeps expertise accessible for non-profits
- How lived experience makes all the difference in advisory work
🎧 Tune in to hear how fractional support keeps your mission — and your sanity — intact.
