Description
The new series of Creative Career Change is here, complete with a new logo and a few changes here and there! I’m thrilled to share these interviews with multi-hyphenate women as we explore the challenges, the joys and everything in between of navigating a variety of income steams. I’d read about the term ‘multi-hyphenate’ some years back, and the idea of it hugely appealed to me. At that time, I was working in a full-time teaching job with no idea how I could make it a reality. And yet, here I am now earning my living from at least five different methods. In this episode I talk to arts, design and travel journalist who was catapulted into multi-hyphenate life after an unexpected move to Istanbul. I'm a huge fan of Lucy’s ‘Lucy Loves’ series of writing on her Substack where she shortlists things to see, do and book each month. The June edition is out now and has some excellent recommendations for London and beyond. “I had no choice, I had to dive in and really give it a go. Sometimes I think, of course you’d have been able to do that if you’d stayed in London. And then I think no, I wouldn’t have done. I’d have been too scared. So, sometimes a little helping hand or a push is what’s needed to make you do that jump, but I’m so glad that was how part of my path has turned out.“ — Lucy Scovell Links * Lucy’s Substack: The Istanbulist * Lucy’s Instagram page: lucy_scovell * The Multi-Hyphen Method by Emma Gannon * Culture Whisper - Things to do in London now * Pandora Sykes * Laura Jackson’s Instagram page: iamlaurajackson * Lucy Williams’ Substack: Remotely * Mayfair Art Weekend * Affordable Art Fair A note from the author I’m aware that those in the thick of a career change, who have left a job or taken a pay cut, may not have the means to pay to listen and so my Creative Career Change podcast will always be free to all subscribers. I hope the conversations may inspire others to make changes in the way they approach their work in order to seek more balance in their life. Making this podcast is a labour of love and I do everything myself. This includes finding guests, writing questions, recording the conversation, editing, mixing, composing music and publishing the episode. By becoming a paid subscriber, you help to ensure I can continue to record new episodes and make the Creative Career Change podcast available to all who need it. Thank you. Hannah x p.s. Lucy and I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode as well your own career stories. Please do share in the comments. This is a public episode.

Substack is a place of constant connection, and over the past few months I’ve had the pleasure of discovering and getting to know many people from all over the world via the platform. Collaborating with others is by far my favourite way of working, so I was delighted when reached out to see if I...

Hello and welcome to the final episode in the ‘Inspiring Creative Career Change’ series. Starting a podcast was never on my agenda until one sunny September afternoon last year I couldn’t think of doing anything else, and so the Chez Hanny podcast was born. I feel so privileged to have been...
