What happens when the “safe” career path no longer fits but walking away feels terrifying?
In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by author, audiobook narrator, and creative entrepreneur, Katie Thompson. Katie shares her journey from corporate stability to building multiple creative businesses, all while navigating motherhood, identity shifts and the pressure to figure it out.
Together we talk about the fear that comes with leaving a stable job; redefining success after becoming a mom; the struggle between creativity, ambition and being present at home; how Katie planned and funded her own three-month maternity leave; and the messy, nonlinear reality of building a life that fits.
Remember, it's okay to evolve. It's okay to pivot. And it's okay to create success on your own terms.
