Real Time Creator | A Laid Off, Career Break Diary

About Real Time Creator | A Laid Off, Career Break Diary

I spent years chasing success and money while shelving my creative dreams. I was a $200K+ earner in tech and a secret weapon inside of a 7-figure creator business. Then EVERYTHING changed. I decided to give myself a minimum 1 YEAR career break and creative sabbatical to reinvent my life. I'm Alison Kinsey, and each week I share a raw and unfiltered glimpse into my career break, money transparency after getting laid off, and the messy work of creative reinvention. I also share the stories of other inspiring women who have built a portfolio career after a career pivot. If you've been asking yourself, "is this IT for my life?!" this is your weekly voice note to inspire you through the in-between. New here?
