Warning: This episode contains references to adoption, death and funerals. Sarah Parkin is a tutor, councillor, gardener and celebrant... multiple side hustles or is this what is now being called a 'portfolio career'? The cost of living crisis means more people are juggling multiple careers or jobs but it's not just about money, it is also about taking control. Sarah tells us how she manages her many roles to support her family but also how saying 'yes' to things has given her the confidence to find her life's purpose. 'By the age of 52, I have found what I want to do when I'm a grown-up.' We talk self-employed anxiety, resilience, finding your voice and whack-a-mole. Sarah is someone who is writing her own story and has found a new career celebrating other people's. Episode length: 62 minutes.
