How are you feeling about your work world right now? 2020 has been a year for the history books for a number of reasons, and has presented us all with a whole myriad of challenges. In amongst those is navigating new work-life waters. Did you make a career pivot this year? Is your employer instigating a hiring freeze? Have you experienced an 'aha!' moment? In today's episode we are sharing our own career journeys and lifting the lid on our same-but-different career paths with blogging. Ella shares why she's pivoted away from blogging and into a new career altogether, and Monica opens up about the multiple hats she wears outside of the blogging world. In today's episode we also play "what to do if . . ." with career scenarios, including what to do if you have been made redundant/graduated in 2020/want to pursue a side hustle.

We hope that today's episode can help you to find clarity, or at least comradeship, in your own career journey. As always we would love to hear your thoughts so please do drop us a line, or send us a DM.
