Hello, friend, and welcome back to another episode of the Tales From The Lane Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Kayaian– a former cellist, and now a writer and coach for high-performing creatives. This is the show where we talk about how to create a life and career that you love–one that brings both creative fulfillment and financial reward–one that makes you feel like you are thriving, instead of merely surviving. We’re using business frameworks to help us reach our artistic potential, and we cover everything from mindset obstacles like imposter syndrome and resistance to action-based tactics like scheduling, goal-setting, negotiating, and project creation. Mostly though, this is a place where, as a creative, you can gain the confidence to craft your career in the most fulfilling and aligned way. Stay with us through the end of today’s episode as we dive deep into navigating significant career and life pivots. We’ll explore what it takes to shift your path toward what truly resonates with you, offering actionable advice and personal anecdotes to guide you. Whether you’re contemplating a subtle pivot or a dramatic change, you’ll find insights and tips to help make your transition smoother and more intentional.
