S2 E1: Lucy Scovell

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

Lucy Scovell

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

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.
