Do you ever catch yourself stuck between “I want to work for myself” and “Wait, how would that even work?” 😅 Same. For us neuroqueer folks and other marginalized identities, balancing traditional job searches with the dream of self-employment can feel like a full-time job on its own.

This week on The Colorful Futures Podcast, I’m sharing what it’s really like to move from the corporate world to carving out a career that fits you. We’re talking about understanding your strengths, navigating the challenges of the job market, and figuring out how to build a business that aligns with your values (without burning yourself out in the process).

Spoiler: Trying to do it all on your own? Not the move. Finding your people and creating accountability can make all the difference in turning dreams into action.

If you’re wondering what self-employment actually looks like and how to start taking small, actionable steps toward a career that works for you, this episode is for you. 🎧💖
