Summary
What happens when you're good at something you no longer want to spend all day doing? In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a career crossroads I've been wrestling with since Ripple Festival wrapped up. After five years spent largely teaching marketing, I've realised I'm craving something different. I'm missing the part where you roll up your sleeves, solve real problems, and help turn an idea into something tangible. I'm sharing why I'm re-evaluating the role I want marketing to play in my life, the fears I have about stepping back into consulting, and what I'm learning about designing work around strengths instead of labels. We also talk about the uncomfortable reality of repositioning yourself when you're already known for something, why the online business world loves false binaries, and the lessons I've learned from running an agency, building a membership, and working with clients who need both strategy and education. If you're questioning your next chapter, feeling restless in your current season, or wondering whether it's time to evolve your business model, this one's for you. Come say hi If building a successful business has ever left you wondering, “is this still what I want?”, I want to hear about it.
