One of the biggest mindset issues that clients come to me with is this idea of “Nobody will want to hire me.” It breaks my heart every time I hear this because I know they're wrong, but I also know how real that feeling feels. If you’re telling yourself “I can’t get the job I want.” Read on.

Here's the thing about being a creative professional: nobody talks about the moments when your creativity feels like it's packed its bags and gone on vacation without leaving a forwarding address. But after many years of coaching creative professionals, I can tell you this: that bored-to-tears feeling isn't a dead end. It's actually your starting line.

In my decade+ years as a career coach, I've noticed that the most successful professionals often have a commonality. They’re “secret grandmas!” Meaning, they're craft enthusiasts, hobby collectors, or passionate art-project never-completers. 

And with the massive shift in how we work since COVID (when everyone suddenly became bread bakers and urban gardeners), we're seeing more evidence than ever that learning new crafts might just be the career catalyst you never knew you needed.

After spending over a decade helping artists, designers, writers, and other creative professionals navigate their careers, I've noticed a common thread: even the most talented individuals occasionally hit a wall.

Nearly 70% of my professional clients feel “stuck” in uninspiring jobs that drain their creativity and energy? If you're nodding along, feeling trapped in the monotonous “9-5 grind”, it's time to break free and explore a world of extraordinary career possibilities (AKA cool jobs)  you might never have imagined.
